From the Principal When you entered this building three years ago, nobody could have foreseen that there could now be so tremendous a struggle between regimentation and individual freedom. What its outcome will be, nobody can predict. We do, however, know this: that you must do everything within your power to preserve democracy in its best aspects and prepare yourself to defend your native shores. No matter how your plans for the future may be upset by these changed social conditions, you must preserve your individuality and strive to live up to the high ideals for which America has ever stood. This can be achieved best by the simple and homely things and not by heroics. If you can find the meaning expressed by this simple, ancient poem of unknown origin, I think you can safely weather the storm and do your part in building a better America. I-Ie loves his country best Who lives pure life and doeth righteous deed, And walks straight paths however others stray, P And leaves his sons, as uttermost bequest, A stainless record which all men may readg This is the better way. as 44 is No drop but serves the slowly lifting tideg No dew but has an ei-rand to some flowerg No smallest star but sheds some helpful rayg And man by man, each helping all the rest, Make the firm bulwark of the country's powerg There is no better way. You all have my very best wishes. Sincerely yours, I Page Eight 1

From the Assistant Prmczpal The development of Americanism has cultivated a loyalty to our country which transcends petty, selfish interests, without implying, however, the doctrine of uniformity. If patriotism is defined alone in the spirit of jingoism-strength, power, superiority-not much solace can be expected. If, however, we define patriotism as strict loyalty to the spiritual and moral ideals of the founders of our country, of what it can contribute to human well-being, of what progress can come from pooling of resources, rather than the attainment of selfish interests, the country as a whole and the individuals therein will benefit. In other words, freedom to reach decisions on the basis of moral knowledge and ethical inquiry is stressed, rather than the imposition of totalitarian propaganda and indoctrina- tion. Perpetuate to the best of YOUR ability freedom to reach YOUR decisions on the basis of YOUR just knowledge and investigation. Sincerely, L Page Nine 1
