l I TO THE CLASS OF I95I: Since the last class graduated from Paly, our country has become involved in another war whose extent and duration even our leaders cannot now predict. It is always difficult to advise young people under such circumstances. I once knew of a great teacher who told her class members there was only one way for youth to meet a crisis and that was, in her words, nto function in disaster and finish in sty1e.n Our civilian and military leaders are advising high school graduates to enter college where they can, remain as long as they are permitted, and make the very best record possible. To me this is the best means of functioning in the present disaster. By doing this you will be in a posi- tion to return to your original plan after such military service as may be demanded of you. Whatever you do, however, we of the high school should like you to consider Paly High one of your home bases, second only to that of your immediate family. We shall con- tinue our interest in you and your progress. Come back and tell us about your achievements. On behalf of the faculty and students of Paly may I extend to you every best wish for your success. Sincerely, Ivan H. Linder Principal
