Our Principal Members of the Class of 1948: World War II was raging when yon were freshmen. You saw Germany and then Japan crushed. You saw the first anti second atomic bombs fall and ruin whole cities. Uncertain post-war conditions have existed since then. Trends of our times: Foreign: Jewish-Arab conflict in Palestine; Hindu-Mos- lem atrocities in India; Dutch-Indonesian skirmishes in Java; civil war in Greece; and the so-called cold war between the capitalism of United States and communism of Russia. Domestic: The political sparring in a Presidential election year; high taxes; high cost of living; monetary inflation; the Marshall Plan; labor unionism; and universal military training. No permanent peace has been established. Civilization is at the crossroads. Shall it continue or will another “Dark Age pervatle the earth? Have the foregoing events caused a fatalistic attitude among you of L.et us cat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die ? It would be far better for you to leave the halls of old Penn High with a spirit of optimism. Mastery instead of mediocrity, success instead of defeat, peace instead of war, should be your aims. Take your place in society with the preceding objectives. You will then make your community and nation a better place in which to live. Arthur R. Stewart ARTHUR R. STEWART B.S., Grove City College M.A., Columbia University Mr. Stewart, in his role as principal, has at his fingertips the permanent records of all the students of Penn High. . .He is pictured here referring to them in a conference with some seniors about their schedules. . .
