Ca Graduates af 1946 . . . A large per cent of your predecessors of the past few years, graduates of high schools throughout the nation, have been actively engaged in a devastating world war against aggression and inhumanity. Their sacryicial ejforts have contributed to providing the peoples of the world one more chance to organize for international co-operation and peace. This chance, which may be civilization's last, in light of the potentials of atomic energy, is an important part of our heritage. What will you and the rest of us make of this rich heritage-aof our chance for peace and world co-operation? What will we do to use it intelligently, to add to and improve it, to preserve it for posterity? We are no longer children with little responsibilityg we are now adults with grave responsibilities for our every personal and corporate act. C. W. McDermith, Superintendent of Schools
