To the Graduates of 1943: JJ e are a1 war. Tliere is little that I can say that will brinj this thought nearer to you. At the end of this school year, you, as Seniors, will move from this high school to your appropriate place in the service of your country. You will, I feel sure, do your duty as true alumni of the Santa Monica High School. We must depend on you to help win this war in order that we may continue our way of life. Personal plans and ambitions which loom so large in our lives in ordinary times must be set aside for the common cause. When peace returns you will find America what she wanted to be and what she was becoming before the war. We will be governed basically by the same sort of aspira- tions, hopes, and desires. It should be a better nation because the fear which gripped us prior to the war will be removed when you return and we will be able to resume the occupations of peace. We have been preparing youth for the emergency which confronts them, but we hope too that we have been building the foundations of tomorrow — happy days of peace for the youth after the conHict is over. We sincerely hope that we have not forgotten during our war service program to emphasize the importance in our school work of solid foun- dation materials, such as: character, purpose, industry, and mastery. May good fortune attend you in your future work. Sincerely yours, W. F. Barni ' M, Principal. W. F. Barnum, Principal THIS WAS HIS MESSAGE BEFORE HE LEFT YOU ON MAY 10th, 1943
