This year's theme, Mobilization for Victory, is appropriate not only for the Class of 1943 of Perth Amboy High School, but also for all the classes of 1943 throughout the country. We are the beginning of an important generation to whom this present turmoil means more than to any one else; for many of us are about to undertake the responsibilities of important positions in the Armed Forces and in Defense Plants. Others, as in former years, will continue to prepare for varied careers. The outcome of the present war will lie chiefly in our hands, and it is important that the outcome be the right one. Shall we enjoy the fruits of victory or the gall of defeat? We take quite a leap from the secure environment of a school to a large world filled with bitter conflicts. Yet the preparation we have received here for this change will enable us to appreciate more the advantages of an education and the pleasant memory of the experiences that come with it. It will also encourage us in the fight for our fundamental rights and the preservation of them. We will enioy the fruits of victory!
