MARTIN E WEAVER Ltbrary Pennsylvania March 31 'I950 Dear Seniors Of all the themes that you may have s lected for your year book I believe that you have hit the four bell selection this year I can conceive of no issue that is more Important for immediate consideration than Action NOW We have already wasted too much time by not doing the things today ra her than fondly hopmg that tomorrow would be lust as wise Too many times we have all been too late with too little We have all llved through the most trying days of our American Democracy Cer talnly from the sad experiences of the not too far distant we have come to a realization that we had too little too 'ate to cope with a national emergency By doing some genuine thinking and Act mg NOW we may be able to avoid a repeat performance of too little too late ence you are now beginning to realize that you too often had the idea that tomorrow would be soon enough If we are now truth ful with ourselves we know that tomorrow IS too late Your theme if you attempt to pattern your lives with this as your star will without doubt move you and yours to a world that will be worthwhile for you and yours to live in Tomorrow will be too late for all of us to prepare ourselves for the situations that we will be called upon to cope with in the days ahead It behooves us to attempt to visualize some of our problems that we will need to face in the days ahead and then to do somethmg about preparing ourselves to meet those sutua tions when we are faced with them In a democracy such as ours education is indispensable Every school in our nation is under the solemn obligation of teach ing students through textbook materials through audio visual ands through work on school papers and yearbooks through lab oratory techniques and through play experiences the democratic principles that are necessary to prepare them to take their places intelligently and thoughtfully In American every day life Educa tion in a democracy must be education for a democracy As a nation we have a great and priceless heritage not only a heritage of material resources but also of liberties dreams ideals and progress It is our right and our duty to maintain that precious heritage At the present time democracy IS engaged in a world wide struggle for supremacy against Communism The Umted States is leading the forces of Democracy and Russia is promoting the cause of Communism The contest between these two countries IS not simply one between two large and powerful nations lt much more than that If Communism spreads over a large part of our world our democracy will be seriously threatened O the other hand if more nations follow our leadership the Com mumst menace will be removed These two ways of life are so entirely different that It IS hard for the average American to appreciate how great the dlf ference really is In the United States the people are supreme and the government is the servant ln a Democracy every man has a free and equal chance to develop his own abilities under a free system of government In Russia and ln the other countries under Commumst domination Austria, Bulgaria Romama Hun gary Yugoslovia Czechoslovakia Poland Finland and part of China the government is all powerful and the people are its ser vants Control is held in the hands of a small group of leaders The Democratic way of life encourages tolerance and sanc tions a wide variety of religious faiths and beliefs lt opposes any type of class race or religious hatred When the communists came into power they closed the churches and destroyed freedom of worship The political freedom of a Democracy applies and acknowl edges personal responsibility In a Communnstic land a citizen works at any :ob assigned to him by the government He must guard his words and his actions at all times for fear that he w 'I be reported to the police and arrested We realize that all conditions here in the Umted States o not perfect In fact there is much room for improvement 'he fact is however that we are free to correct mlustnces and to m toward higher goals We must work together for a higher general level of edu tion throughout the enttre nation Advanced schooling must e made the privilege of all who can qualify for it We can IV Democracy work only if everyone of us develops an understa of Democracy and an increased sense of personal respon izl In a recent article from News Week on how to fig Commumst threat in our country J Edgar Hoover F B I composed a list of individual don ts on the sublect Three of were Dont label anyone a Communist unless you have acts Dont confuse liberals and progressives with Commun I5 S Don be a party to the violation of the civil rights of anyone It is our duty as loyal Americans to resolve to do our full part in preserving protecting developing and transmitting to future generations our great heritage of freedom and democracy N nation can be strong unless it is umted in its support of a com mon civic and social creed The American creed is that of human obgectlve of American education with the improvement and suc cessful workmg of our democracy as the ultimate goal lBelieve m Its Later Than You Think You who will soon be leaving the portals of a free American institution need to be concerned with doing something about our problems today Tomorrow will be too late J In the future when we are not quite certam as to whether we should take the right turn to Democracy or the left turn to some thing else let us first inspect the sign posts that will line the Road of Democracy Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to Right to worship God in one s own ways free speech and press assemble petition for grievances privacy lh our homes habeas corpus No accesstve bail trial by lury Innocent till proved guilty move about freely at home and abroad own private property work in callmgs and localities of our own choice bargain with our employers go into business compete make a profit bargain for goods and services in a free market contract about our affairs the service of government as a protector and referee freedom from Arbitrary government regulation and control Before we make a choice other than the democratic choice et s compare our Platform of Democracy against the best of the best As a parting reminder please accept as sincere our fond hope that you will do your best NOW to perpetuate the ideals of American Democracy With kindest personal regards I remain As ever and always One
