TO THE SENIGRS Graduation is just around the corner-eleven years and seven months down and two months to go. I, personally, and on behalf of your other teachers, extend to you hearty congratulations. I hope this yearbook will please all of you and that in future years it will be a kind of fairy bridge over which your dreams may glide to that happy land of youth gleaming on the other side. It pleases me to see you so calm in these uncertain days. I think often, as do you, of that one from your class who enlisted in the navy to serve his country. If you have further schooling in mind get to it now. The light of knowledge is easily extinguished and diHicult to rekindle. You have lived through great events which are shaping the world of tomorrow. The first 50 years of this century witnessed the death of more persons in warfare than all of the other centuries of man's recorded experience. The instruments of warfare are now so perfected that there is the sobering influence that the next war could be the last. Men must learn to live together and to get along with each other. May I recall to you what General McArthur said to the Congress on April 19 about war? I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. If mankind will develop a way of cooperation between nations, the tragedy of war can be avoided. A richer life will be had by many. Medical science will protect your health so that you will live much longer. Inventions will make living easier and more enjoyable. Machines will relieve men and women of much drudgery. Housing will be improved. Art, music, literature, and recreation will be cultivated. The atomic age may well be that age of which men have dreamed for centuries. I. W. MCMULLEN 4
