ew ilflirfcl oz ,C0lflflil'l i Determination and courage are the keynotes of our 169th class. We have been told that as we tread down the aisle to the stately strains of Pomp and Circum- stancef, we are approaching the threshold to the adult world in which we will take our places. Our determination whispers to us that it will be, it must be, a New WVorldg our courage replies that we have the tools to build that New World. What are the tools? What can you do? ask the cynicists, the pessimists, the dis-believers. lVith resolution in our hearts, we answer: We have faith and hope and the desire for understanding. VVe have seen darkly-clouded war years, tortured years, and it is our will that the sun may once again shine upon lands where men's lives and thoughts and spirits are-free. We have the conviction that men, weary of times darkened by distrust and hate, will gradually make that journey into the countries of the heart and arrive at the glorious summit where all have a firm belief in One Goa' and the essential brotherhood of man. We have awareness of the urgent reality about us, and we have confidence in our ability to face our problems with wisdom. Our future depends not only upon armies and navies and diplomats, but upon each one of us. It depends upon the thoughts we think, the helping hand we are willing to extend to a neighbor, our high aspirations, our compassion, and our belief in ideals. Our New World depends upon the simple but eternal things. It will be fashioned to our dreams, built to the blueprints of our thoughts. With determina- tion and courage to realize these plans, We say, There's a New WVorld a 'cominllu - 'T-.
