The new adventures it will hold promise excite- ment and pleasure. This anticipation will be fulfilled in good measure but there may be difficulties and hazards, uncertainties and doubts as in all adventurous living. The well balanced in mind, are the courageous in heart who can overcome most handicaps. As you progress from one stage to another, take with you my best wishes for successful accomplishment and happiness in the striv- ing for the worthy objects of your desire. Y Elizabeth A. McCarthy Miss McCarthy Girls' Adviser Your high school days are overl No doubt for many months you have looked forward to the time when you would be freed from the restraints and mo- notonous routine of the classroom. Now you are free! But as you step from the portals of South High to schools of higher learning cr into your life work, new doors of opportunity and responsibility open before you. In these tragic days of the Second World War the peoples of the world are clamoring for liberation and freedom. The Four Freedoms have been set forth as the ideal for all mankind, and the nations are met in a security conference that this end may be attained. The way is difficult and preplexing, beset with many trials and discouragements. Progress, however, is being made, and more and more it is being realized that the fundamentals of security and freedom are truth and righteousness sright living. What will be your contribution to this worthwhile l Mr. MacDonald goal? The Master Teacher tells his followers, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. This does not mean mere veracity: that is only one of the elements. The love of truth is the love of realitiessthe determination to rest upon facts. There is a tendency in the masses always to think, not what is true, but what is respectable, correct: is it approved by those with whom we are closely associated? There have been men of whom it was true that is was easier to turn the sun from its course than them from the paths of honor. As you now stand, poised on the threshold of opportunity, may you determine to fol- low in the footsteps of such men as these rather than drift with the multitude: to seek truth and pursue it, and thus find the greatest freedom through perfect bondage to truth and righteousness.

L H -.-QM: in if f',f.f A ft :L r , I OF THE GRADUATING CLASS 1945 ' At the time this is being Written CApril, 19457 we are looking forward to an announcement of the end of the war in Europe. This time last year we were looking tor- ward to the invasion of Europe by our armies. Iust think what has been accomplished in less than a year by our armed forces. However, let us not forget the massive planning and preparation that took two to three years to prepare for these great and decisive events. Your training has taken three years in the Iunior High School and three in the Senior High School in the Vocational, commercial, or academic fields. Now it is time for your lnvasion of the working adult world. Your preparation is just starting. But like the gains of our armed forces in the past year, your gains in the next few years will be positive, will be measurable, and will be compensated to the extent of your preparation and skill. lust as the training of our armed forces did not stop with the invasion, so your training must not stop. New goals await you but in all cases your training for those goals must be positive and complete. The changes in our economic world in the year to come may be even greater and more astounding than our military advances in the past year. Our way of life may in reality be at stakeg what we do as individuals and as a nation in the coming year may easily determine our way of life for years to come. Our task is not easy: we must not relax, we must keep studying, keep informed, and be alert to hold Liberty and Iustice for ourselves and assist other nations in attaining these rights. MR. BURNS Vice-Principal E. G. Burns This eighth class to graduate from South High School since Pearl Harbor has dedicated its yearbook to those boys from South High who have made the supreme sac- rifice. These heroes of World War ll died on the fighting front defending that country they loved so well. Many of our soldiers will return with disabilities that they will carry to their graves. America must no forget these veterans in the post war era for they have made sacrifices that cannot be recompensed. All heroes in this war are not on the fighting front. t This front could not exist without those of the Armed Forc- es who are behind the lines. Likewise, this fighting front, could not survive without the men and women who are doing their part on the home front. You, the graduates of the class of Iune, 1945, must become an integral part of this war and post war era. The problem that confronts you today is on which front you will serve your country so that the United States of Amer- ica will continue as a nation that will aid in guiding the destiny of the world. You, as graduates, could very well be guided by the American Day Pledge of l945 which reads: We do hereby dedicate ourselves to uphold the ideals of freedom and equality. We do hereby dedicate ourselves to help har- monize the differences of race, region, religion, and nationality. We do hereby dedicate ouselves to strive for a nation united in the promotion of justice, human- l i Mn. Moons Vocational Counselor but throughout the world. -Iohn H. Moore. .
