In Tzme O War Prepare For Teace B err, We are graduatmg from h1gh school 1n mo mentous t1mes and the dav IS not far off when our armed forces w1ll come home and we shall he faced vuth the 1mmed1ate problems of the peace The t1me to prepare to grapple Wlth these problems I5 novx The people of the Un1ted States and all the peoples of the world have the rlght to l1ve 1n peate and freedom after th1s war IS won But not onlx th1t they must have freedom from want Wl'1lCh means jobs for all freedom of specth vthmth 111 1h1s country means a free press and radlo not one tatermg to the buslness IH

the century of t e common man Thls IS someth1ng the vast ma Jor1ty of the peoples of thlS earth want w1th all the1r hearts and xt can be 8Chl6Ved by the co operat1on of all the peoples of thls earth In order for the Un1ted States to partlclpate and and 1n world government It must be produc1ng fully whlch means full employment and a na t1onal 1ncome probably greater than 1n 1943 The reasons for thlS are that w1thout full em ployment people w1ll be concerned w1th condl t1ons at home and wxll not see any reason for export1ng a lot of goods that we m1ght use at home It took the war to br1ng full employment to the Un1ted States Durmg 1943 w1th a workmg force of 65 000 000 of WhlCh there were about 10000000 1n the armed forces we pro duced S92 000000000 worth of goods and ser v1ces and had a nat1onal 1ncome of S153 O00 000 000 both hgures belng about twxce those of 1939 and almost tW1C6 those of 1929 This IS 1mportant because lt means that 1n order to have full employment after the war Cand we must have 1f we are to ellmlnate povertyj we must peg our productlon level at the 44 level WhlCh ought to be st1ll h1gher than last year And also lt IS lmportant because th1s productlon was brou ht about by the terrlfic governmental ex pend1tures for war and by government control and coord1nat1on of productxon It seems l1kely that Wlth m1l1tary orders cancelled productlon after the war w1ll drop back to the prewar state of unemployment and scarc1ty and that there fore we Wlll have to have government controls and plann1ng although lt w1ll be of a d1lTerent k1nd and for a dlfferent purpose than now and also an extens1ve program of pubhc works pro jects such as publ1c power reforestatlon soxl conservat1on federal housmg schools hospltals H1 etc ready to fill gaps 1n employment It has been Sald that the real cure for un employment IS employment not unemployment benefits As a part of a program of full em ployment we must adopt an extensnve soclal securlty program 1nclud1ng old age benefits larger and longer extended unemployment bene fits a Federal health program and educatxonal serv1ces toward wh1ch the Wagner Murray D1ngle b1ll IS a good start Thus workers w1ll be rel1eved of a good deal of the1r worr1es and feel more secure I now come to 1nternat1onal post war plan n1ng bungl1ng of which as after the last war due largely to nonpart1c1pat1on by the U S w1ll brmg to naught all else Fxrst of all, the tdea or hope of peace planners IS that the method of peace that ex1sts w1th1n a commun1ty by wh1ch dlsputes there are settled w1thout the use of force of arms can be extended throughout the world eventually and that there IS no funda mental thmg 1n human nature that prevents th1s but qu1te the contrary They feel that the thmgs factors that could be checked by a world gov ernment A complete permanent peace can only be achxeved by all natxons glvmg up part of thexr soverelgnty to a world state and then that alone w1ll not completely assure It There must be complete economlc and social freedom all over the world ThlS IS speakmg 1n large terms and over a long perxod of t1me The prospects after the war do not hold for anywhere near as extensxve a program The lmmedlate and foremost need after the war wxll be a world state w1th as much power as possxble and wlth the soverexgnty of each state l1m1ted as much as poss1ble In thxs lme it w1ll be apparent that the spheres of mfluence that the four great powers of the Umted Nations are bulldmg make the Jump easxer from the present to the mternatlonal federal state whrch must be ult1mately our goal A successful world orgam zatlon must also mclude a democratxc Germany Italy and Japan whxch we hope the people of those countrxes may be able to brmg about after the m1l1tar1sts are crushed The bxggest obstacle to post war 1nternat1onal plann1ng IS fear fear of Russ1a s future mtentxons for example The best way to dlspel doubt and dlstrust IS by promotxng greater understandmg between natxons In thlS we can all play an 1m portant part by makmg lt our duty to learn as much as we can about other countr1es Then we shall be domg our part 1n creatmg that mutual understandmg among nat1ons whlch

This group met every Thurs- day afternoon to make the bandages which are used by the armed forces of this country. Under the supervision of the American Red Cross, these bandages were distributed to the service units where they played a vital part in saving wounded soldiers. bf'- HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club, super- vised by Mrs. Mabel Werger, this year has been devoting itself entirely to Red Cross Sewing. Some of the articles that have been made are: soft woolen mules for wounded servicemen that are in the hospital, bedside bags, bed jackets, lap robes, bathrobes, fatigue shirts, blouses for children in devastated areas, afghans and quilts. It was discovered that in using the factory method where each person does one specific operation, pro- duction increased. RED CROSS This year the Red Cross Club is divi- ded into four groups who meet on Thurs- day afternoons. The knitting, home nursing, surgical dressings, and sewing groups contribute greatly to the war ef- fort. Mrs. Mabel Werger has sponsored the Red Cross activities. VOCATION AL EDUCATION Many boys and a few girls have been getting basic training in the industrial arts, under the direction of Mr. William Torno. Instruction has been given in wood-working, metal-working, forging, welding, blue-printing and mechanical drawing. E CHORUS The Staples Chorus, directed by Mr. John Ohanian, and accompanied by Patricia Berglund have appeared sev- eral times before school gatherings this year. Their impressive Christmas Pro- gram will be remembered in time to come. Their final appearance of the year was at Commencement. ls! BAND The Staples band, directed by Mr. John Ohanian, performed on many oc- casions on the football field, at assem- blies, and at community affairs. The most enjoyable assemblies of the year were those in which the band partic- ipated. Sheila Miller was the band's drum majorette. THE LISTENING CLUB The Listening Club, under the super- vision of Mrs. Edna Kearns was formed this year so that students interested in music would learn to appreciate and understand operas and various other types of classical music better.
