THE SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS In dedicating this issue of THE RODEO to the 'liters, you are paying homage to American Pioneers who expanded this nation to the Pacific, and laid a firm foundation in the West upon which the development of this democracy has rested. It is doubtful, however, if the •l|.9ers could have foreseen, even in their wildest flights of imagination, theAmer- ica that is now ours. Their faith in the future knew no bounds, and we are reap- ing the harvests of their farsightedness. You, in the schools today, are now laying the foundation for the future. It will not be too long until every position of real power in our nation wj.13 be in your hands, or those of your classmates who are now in school. Many little rad- ical groups of isms talk hopefully of the day when they will take over; but they know full well that they will never take over. But nothing in the world is more certain than that you and your classmates will take over. The active control and direction of all the vast enterprises that make America great will be yours, with full authority to go about it in any way upon which you can agree. No one in the wide world will do this for you, unless you invite, by your indiffer- ence, some foreign ism to come in and run our great Nation. No generation of mankind has yet been free of the horror and devasta- tion wrought by war; no generation has yet provided in sufficient abundance or quality all those things necessary for the good life for a majority of its members. Unless you do better than any pre- vious generation, many of your generation will yet suffer hunger, pain, injustice and privation. It is hoped that your studies have shown you how the work of our society is carried on and how it might be improved. America of 191 9, like America of 18I4.9, should not be a bitter struggle tp take something from someone else, but a great organized effort to get for everyone the things we all need. Just as the 'l ers looked so well to the future, it is hoped that you, too, will look to a future that will keep this America, the Beautiful as a Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.
