T llGSG words represent not only the thoughts of one man but the dreams of countless Americans, both young and old. These are not hollow dreams of wealth, power or glory, but sincere dreams for the future of mankind — dreams that reveal a belief that tomorrow may truly bring a new morning worth the long night of struggle; dreams that recognize vast obstacles that must be overcome before the cherished ideals of world peace, domestic tranquility and individual dignity are realized; dreams that tender the hope that these ideals are attainable if all Americans accept the challenge of hard work, self-sacrifice, and visionary ideal- ism. G of the graduating class are also in search of that new morning. In spite of other differences, it is this dream that unifies us both in spirit and in purpose. It helped us through our most trying moments as cadets, and it will help us in the years ahead. Our days as cadets impressed upon us the need for that better tomorrow while providing an opportunity to evaluate and refine the ideals necessary to attain it.
