of no concern to us and could not affect us. That seemed to to true for many years but this war has made it look different. 'kfifumgraauate from high schools today have no sentimental misconception aoout the world of the ' future. We tant e peaceful world in which to live, but we expect our country to use whatever force is necessary in order to maintain peace in that new world of humanity. . W Every unit of Queen relations has to recognize someone as its leader in order that there may be peace and harmony, There can to no order without discipline. Every bell game has to have an umpire capable of giving correct decisions on'point of differences between the teams. A town, township or country has to have a judge to decide upon the appli- cation of the law and a sheriff or other officers to enforce the law. It is so with the state, the nation and the world. When the fighting stops there is going to have to be some authority or combination of authorities strong enough and with enough justice and understanding to decide upon the application of fair principles to maintain the peace of the world. Without it the neriod of neace will be only a breathing spell between two wars. ' We who today ,raduate from the high schools, of Arcrioa will not protest if it appears that the United States has to decide upon the rules between the nations and enforce them, if this necessary in order that the world may live in peace after victory. Our greatest desire is an opportunity to work. The greatest happiness in life is from work f'-. well done. Haooinese through work is the creed of our time The more tork and the better work that people are able to do the more satisfaction and happiness life affords our Hresent system of education has taught us that in position there is wealth and that in work there is dignity, that the better work people do the happier they are while doing it. Every city, town or com- munity in America has good schools placing with in ' reach of all the advantages of high school education. This much education is no longer the exception in modern life but it is the foundation upon which any- thing else we do must be built. It is our hood for- tune to have had the benefit of this good system of education. There is s close alliance between freedom and Education. Both of those items are necessary in any
