A. BRUCE DENNISTON B.S. University of Pittsburgh M.A. University of Pittsburgh Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh Superintendent of School: To THE CLASS or 1945: During the war years you have observed many youth of y0lll' own age quit school and take jobs at heretofore unheard-of-wages. You have heard on every hand fan- tastic figures about production of material things. I know at times you IIILISC have asked yourself, To what purpose ' ' I ' QV ll IS this process we call education? Wliyf should I con- tinue in school? In spite of this apparent attitude of indifference to- ward educational activities, I observe a growing tendency among every cross section of society to recognize the vital part education plays in national prosperity. Ralph Waldo Emerson's statement, Efficient universal education is the mother of national prosperity, is just as Il'llC today as the day he uttered it. The modern economist, Chester I. Bernard, has recently expressed the same idea, The basic process by, which the productive capacity of society is maintained and increased is by education. I congratulate you, therefore, that you have continued steadfast to your goal-a high school education. May it, in truth, be but a commencement of your educational achievements. A.
