No longer can the graduate choose his vocation, regardless of outside ikrwus :incl know that only his lurk ofauulrilimn :mil energy will prevent him from reaching his goal. Now the nation has priorities over all futures. Plans may be made but their realization depends upon the success in the struggle against the re- incarnation of the Dark Ages. Until that is ac- complished no future is safe. nothing can be counted upon. All forces must be marshalled to prove that the plans of rodents go oft astray. Treason is an act which handicaps or betrays a nafion's war effort. But treason also means an action which. if done, would aid the defense of the country but is not done, either through lazi- ness or selfishness. A career planned to wrest as much from our way of life as possible with no regard for the dangers that threaten from all sides is nothing short of treason. Nothing can be allowed to interfere with the complete backing for our National Offense. Instead of asking himself, What career would I like to follow? the senior must say, How can I best try to repay my country for everything that I have freedom to own, do, or think? In what way can I employ myself or my abilities to back most fully the Forces of Light? This is an all out war! The enemy gives no quarter, the defeated ask none. And no half- measures will defeat this Unholy Three. It is the privilege of this graduating class to join in the extermination. This leaves but one honest career for every senior: either on the fighting front or supporting them, to be a soldier for Democracy. ,. i i Cijvonin the desk of Edmund W. Tuton To The Seniors: Your school year closes in days painted in rather somber colors. May they prove temporary. During the four years in which you have been in high school, the world has chang- ed at a faster pace than during any equal time in world history. You have seen countries go down in their fight against the twen- tieth century aggressorg you have seen indecision of thought dis- played on the parts of mighty countries because the people of those countries were read in the writings of that group of authors that wrote immediately following the war. The United States was one such country. There were many who felt that the last war solved little, and who felt like- wise that another war might solve little more. Then came December 7. and with it our nation dropped its philosophical viewpoints and Continued on Page 11 n
