W.-,7Mff57. FOREWORD For more than five Years the world has been engaged in cruel warfare. Every citizen in every country has made his sacrifice, great or small. Many have given their very lives. Others are willing to lay theirs down for the ideal they believe is right-an ideal of freedom, justice, and peace for the whole world, an ideal of equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race or religion, color or creed, an ideal which would have every nation a good neighbor with every other nation, cooperative in effort, and commanding mutual respect. Great leaders have seen a future for this ideal in the recognition of the fact that we are citizens of ONE WORLD, wherein all men are brothers. The ocean liner, the telephone, the radio, and the airplane have done much to force a realization of world citizenship. Spacious oceans have become mere ribbons, mountains have lost their peaks. Today there is no isolated country on the map of the world. Today the farthest point on the globe is but sixty hours by air from the spot where you are now. The United States of America was built on an ideal of freedom and equal opportunities for all, not for people of a certain race or creed. So must the world be built. In order to secure the ideal that we are fighting for, we must spread the advantages that we have, so that no one nation is excluded. VVorld peace can not be a reality if one country has a monopoly on those desirable conditions which other countries lack. Likewise, we must accept the responsibilities and problems of the whole world and not just those of our own nation. All important is the fact that we must win not only the war, but also the peace which will follow. Experience has proved that enduring peace does not come from charters and declarations. It must come from the will of the people, all the people, who must approach peace without suspicion or fear and who are prepared to accept it whole-heartedly. World peace must be an international undertaking. That is why there must be unity among all the nations. That is why we must be ONE. WORLD. VVe, the Senior Class, have chosen ONE WORLD as the theme of the l945- EDSONIAN because we believe in that ideal. Wfe have read in history how past attempts for world peace have failed. Thus we have gained from the mistakes of others, for we know what to avoid. Isolation is not the ideal for us because we know that no nation can live .tlone in peace. Our future lies in ONE WORLD, with freedom, justice, and peace available for all the nations. Faith in this ideal is strong within our hearts. We are prepared to follow it to the end, to make it an international achievement. It must never be said that our boys, our fellow classmates, have died in vain. ,f xx . , ,, .il I
