{Uhz c faaivraiii •944 To Science School Students: As our country draws deeper into tin present war, military problems overshadow all others. I his involvement necessarily affects our actions, limits our pursuits, and reflects in our attitudes. The day school program at this school, like all other schools, is materially affected in times of war. Enrollment and school activities arc necessarily curtailed. All of you men and women who were with us this year are to Ik commended for your interest, your line spirit, and your sincerity of purpose. You have carried on splendidly under trying ci rcumsta nces. Congratulations to you. one and all. for your interest in the educational program and for jour active participation in school activities.

If everyone in the United Nations did that, the War. as.General Eisenhower suggested, would he won for us in short order. With such thoughts in mind, I wish a successful future to students in Arts and Business; and in seeking a final maxim. I pass over more famous sayings, and choose, for the merit it contains, a sentence written, years ago, by a man in my Freshman English Class. “It is only by continually creating new values, within himself that a man may make any progress whatever.” F.
