SEMAPHORE 195 1 To the Members of the Class of 1951 These are monientus times. All of us are living under a great deal of stress. Just to wonder what tomorrow will bring is a source of strain. We are facing the aggression of Communism today, undoubtedly because we have failed in the past to recognize the menace of this evil concept of governinent. We Americans have made the mistake of judging the leaders of Communism by our own standards. Our public schools have endeavored to prepare you graduates to properly appraise the menace of Communism and to know and appreciate the tenets of true American Democracy. Unless you have learned this lesson our era of freedom and our goals of peace are at an end. The main strength of America in the years ahead, will depend upon what you, its people, know, think, feel and are willing to do. ou have been taught your fundamental duties or obligations of citizenship. Our aim has been to stimulate and inspire in you a deep sense of your responsibility as citizens and a pride and faith in American Democracy. As active informed citizens of our free society of tomorrow you must be guided by moral and ethical values. Our free government will be as strong as the initiative, courage, understanding and loyalty of its individual citizens, and it will be wise to attend to the necessary means of its preservation. In farewell, 1 congratulate you and extend my best wishes to you in the years ahead. Sincerely, Joseph H. Gibbons Superintendent of Schools 22
