THE ADMIRAUS A A MESSAGE F. H. STAUFFER SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Ph. B., M.A. Muhlenberg College Columbia University TO THE CLASS OF 1942: Another milestone in the process of your education has been attained. During the past twelve years through depressions, emergencies, and a gigantic world struggle you have steadily maintained a splendid spirit so that today success - - - graduation - - - is yours. You have constantly exemplified the letter and the spirit of your motto, Sail On . The Class of 1942 was the first class to complete the twelve grades since the consolidation of Oley Township. I congratulate you and may success be yours in your chosen vocation. I am happy to take this opportunity to direct a brief message to you. Let us reflect that all the World's problems are not to be solved now, but that there is going to be a man's and a woman's work to be done many years hence. If the present requirements of national defense permit your continuing to prepare yourself, you can be fully justified in so doing, both for your own self-development and for your country's future needs. My advice to you is this: Resist the temptation to mark time merely because the present is a time of emergency and the future is a question mark. Our democracy will continue to have problems that will call for the best efforts of all its citizens. Prepare yourself for your part and give serious thought to the needs and ideas of your fellowmen, your community, and your country. To be able to do this is one of the blessings of democracy. It, however, requires training ourselves in self-discipline, in attitudes of tolerance, and in habits of cooperation. This is the American ideal. May it give you courage, purpose, and hope to go forth and to assume your rightful position in the ranks of American citizenship. 8
