6ff66fZ.0iZ Today as you step forth from High School into a world crisis, take a long look in the mirror. What do you see? What have you built into yourself in a three year sojourn within these granite walls? Do you see behind squared shoulders and uplifted head, a shadowy mirage of priceless books and conscientious men, pointing you forward to a life of service? How broad is your vision? Do your eyes glint with decision and power, and a willingness to take on responsibility? Democracy is on trial. Every air-raid siren is a screaming call to free men, to lock arms and move f.orward in a cooperative endeavor to guarantee the survival of our precious American heritage. Deep in your heart you know that heritage. But you can't perpetuate the rights so sacred to the American way of life, if you sit on the side lines and cheer. These possessions will be passed on when the inertia of honest citizens becomes militant action. Look into your mirror! Resolve with high purpose that throughout a worthy man- hood, you will give yourself unsparingly to your fellow-men, and by thought, word and deed, see to it that Democracy does survive. Maile, 7

We feel that under such a man Southern will forge ahead, and in leaving we would like to thank him for all he has d.one for us and Wish him the best of luck in years to come. 6
