1940 SEMAPHORE A LEHER FROM MR. LYMAN To Members of the Class of 1940: You members of the Class of 1940 are about to conclude your schooling here in Stoughton. I can recall many of you beginning with your work as members of grade three here in Stoughton. All of us connected with these schools have been interested in your development and growth during your school days. It has been our desire that you should develop all those qualities which will make you a citizen that your countr) ' may be proud of, and that you will be proud to be a worthy citizen of your country. We all realize that each of us is a conglomerate of good and bad and that whether we develop the good and continue that development or not, decides what type of citizen each of us shall be — we trust that you all are aware of this fact and will guide your- selves accordingly — the only hope of our country is its future citizens. You members of the Class of 1940 have in your 12 years of schooling lived through more History than many a century has produced. That History of your last 12 years is still in the process o f making at a whirlwind rate. Vast changes, dangerous situations, difficult choices await us all — you soon must take a part in these choices. These choices will require much knowledge, much sacrifice, a sense of justice and goodwill toward all. Have we done anything to help you for what is before you. ' ' The answer is yes , but we do not know whether we have done enough or whether it was possible to do enough so that you may help make America, in the best way — the best America we could wish. We must depend upon you — you must not fail your country. This is my farewell and Godspeed to you. W. B. Lyman 28
