MDR CLI WSH! IC U 4 + VI JUNE - 1939 SA,VXUHUIlDEN H5

Page 6 text:

June brings with it not only sum- mer, but scores ot graduations. And with the graduations - graduates. And with the graduates - hopes, careers, ambitions . . . That We all desire personal es- teem, wealth, and happiness is to be expectedg but today there is a problem more vital in scope than personal ambition, THE FIGHT FOR ClVlLlZATlON. What We will be called upon to do is a matter ot conjecture. But that We must take an active part in maintaining and more firmly in- trenching DEMOCRACY is conclu- sive. The CLASS OF IUNE 1939 shall show the World that these same democratic ideals and pro- cedures Which have fostered our education, shall not have been fruitless.
