UNDER THE GUIDANCE CE December 8, l942. My dear Girls: The enthusiasms, the courage, and the idealisms of youth have made history since the beginning of time. Moses was a young man when he was assigned to lead the children of lsrael. The great leaders of the Crusades were young. The minute men of '76 were scarcely more than boys, and in the Civil War both North and South leaned on their armies of very young men. ln the last decade the Totalitarian States have exploited the qualities which have made youth glorious. Young men and women have been caught by the glamour of Fascist and Nazi ideology. Today, at the end of the first year of this global war, we, too, are realizing that it is our youth who must stand in the front lines of the conflict. Our instinct is to shelter and to protect our boys and girls--often much against their wills. Today, however, we realize that it is hands off. With- out the power which lies in their youth, the world will be lost. We know only too well that girls, too, are in the fighting ranks, that your youth with its enthusiasms, its courage, and its high idealism must be placed on the altar of your country. You will go through to glorious victory and in the going, l believe, learn how to keep for the rest of your lives those qualities on which we are counting so deperately now. Youth marches onfTQ VlCTORY. GOD BLESS YOU. Faithfully yours, zzz iz me Principal. 8
