Principal s Message TO many of you, life just ahead may appear to hold little more than hardship, sacrifice and the frustration of cherished plans. Probably it is true that as long as the war lasts there will be much to be endured. That is part of the process of creating a new and better world. But such a world will not result from merely gritting our teeth, tightening our belts and resolving some- how to see the thing through. First, you must get all the education you can. Even the men at Guadalcanal and the Solomons are pouring over textbooks in tents and tin huts. Our soldiers, sailors and marines are enrolling in Army Institute courses at the rate of one thousand a week. They and you cannot afford to enter the post-war period uninformed and half-educated unless you are willing to fumble the peace even though previously the war was won. All the way through life you must keep mentally alert to social problems and social issues. Only in that way can your generation make victory the prelude to intelligent world reconstruction. An- other responsibility you have is deliberately to adopt an unselfish attitude toward life. Eventually, you will have great opportunities for personal success. But personal success can be of only secondary importance. Your primary purpose should be usefulness to the community. Devotion to the highest ideals of character and citizenship will be needed to complete the task of rebuilding our world. Resolve now to live importantly. Give the best you have to the tasks ahead. Remember the last four letters of American are I can. DONALD B. STEVENS
