l Y l E. E. Wood, Principal MESSAGE 1940 War! War! War! As you, the Class of 1940, step out into the world, this is what confronts you. Gver nineteen hundred years ago a great Teacher on the hills of Galilee taught the principles of friendship and peace. We have for centuries in all the countries of the western world called our- selves Christians, but no savage of pre-Christian ages could be more brutal or have less regard for human rights than the white man -today. What is the reason for this utter failure of our high ideals? We in America have believed that education and the development of the intellect would ensure progress. But while this has given us mastery over nature, it has failed to accomplish ethical development. As we have become more powerful, we have become more ruthless. The true answer must be elsewhere. For the answer, I believe we must go back to the Great Teacher who said, He that would find his life must lose it. What is the curse of today? Selfish Greed. Each individual, each group, and each nation is grabbing for wealth and power, no one caring what happens to the other fellow. But when success has been won by a few, has it brought happiness? Our papers show every day how these so-called successful ones have failed. What did the Master mean when he said, Lose a life ? l-le meant to live for the good of others. True happiness comes from trying to improve the world in which we live. This can be seen very clearly by taking a list of the really great men of the world. The greatest wealth a man can have is his friends. These only come from thinking more of others than of one's self. May each one of you of the Class of '40 find true happiness. I E. E. Woon Page nine
