To the Class of 1945 A comporotively short time ofter groduoting from school you will become full-fledged citizens of the United States. Americo is often called “The Melting Pot, being mode up os it is of people from oil ports of the world. I wonder if you realize thot in this school, os is the case with many lorge city high schools, almost oil Europeon and some Asiotic countries ore represented. This must have helped to give you o toleronce and understanding of the other person's point of view which should be of greot value to you in the new world we hope for ofter the war ends. All of us will then be citizens, not only of America but citizens of this new world, with interests ond obligations never before dreamed of. Many lessons can be drown from the events of this wor—lessons of fair dealing ond mutual understanding. New ond difficult social problems will orise in many countries, os well as in our own, ond if these problems are met with o mutuol spirit of fairness ond justice, oil will be well; if not, the future of mankind may be seriously offected. Young people, especially educated young people like yourselves, will have a great influence on these questions. The future for you, then, holds infinite possibilities ond great responsi- bilities. Moy you meet them with courage and success. HARRY F. SEARS, Headmaster
