F. H. STAUFFER PH. B., M. A. SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL To The Class of 1946: Finished Yet Beginning is a truly fitting motto for 1946. You are finishing twelve years of free public education. This is a noteworthy achievement. Success is crowning your efforts. Your graduation is a glorious victory. Congratulations to you. May success and happiness be yours always. Total victory was the result of our total mobilization. Permanent peace will re- quire the same mobilization of our energies, of our skills, and the same cooperation that won the war. Mankind in the past has not been able to establish a reign of peace because it has not paid the price of peace. We shall never have the peace we want until we pay that price. This imposes duties and responsibilities that I trust you will accept. Never before has the moral obligation to be intelligent and unselfish been so great, never such a need for fundamental Christian virtues. Let us Begin to evaluate decency and kindness so that the ideas of the Sermon on the Mount may become our daily guide. By ignorance, suspicion, and greed we may lose all. By intelligence, goodwill, and cooperation we can win an age of peace. The keystone of democracy is faith in the individual. If the new world-order is to be beautiful and near-perfect, it will be fashioned by men and women so enlight- ened that prejudice and intolerance can not encroach on their thinking. In the future we need to think of success in terms of happiness-of a job well done. I urge you to consider your obligations-assume your rightful responsibilities. Your diploma is not a sign of a task done, but rather of a task begun and a responsibility assumed. Justify your opportunityg merit the privileged status that is yours. Opportunity calls us to do our part to establish a just and lasting peace. In tribute to the men and women who have suffered and died to make victory possible, let us help to build a future Worthy of their sacrifices. Seven
