' W. G. MORGAN To THE STUDENTS or OWEGO FREE ACADEMY: The theme Four Seasons has been selected for this book. In making this selection, I understand that the staff had in mind a pictorial description of your school activities accord- ing to the seasons. By working together and making many of the decisions necessary for the success of these activities, you are learning the first principles of democracy. In this country these principles are evident every day, not only at general election time in the fall, but during primary election and other special elections occurring throughout the four seasons of the year. As a citizen in a democracy, you are even free to write to the members of your state and federal legislatures, your state and federal courts, your governor, or even the President of the United States. This privilege is the most valuable heritage and freedom which any of us possess under our form of government. In opposing forms of government, less than ten per cent of the adult people can even vote, and almost none of them are free to express their opinions to the ruling oflicials. At no time in history has the future of our system of government been more in the balance than at the present. As you people go out into the world, your big duty will be that of making decisions, not just at general election time, but at all seasons of the year. In order to protect and preserve our form of government and way of life, will you always try to think clearly and act wisely? Yours very sincerely, W. G. MORGAN, Superinlenden! 7
