Farewell 9-2 'l'he Class of 1944 have completed four years of diligent labor, and now we must assure ourselves that we are well armed to wage our battle for a better world. 'llo enable ns to begin our battle by achieving an intelligent and satisfying adjust- ment to our immediate environment, our school has instilled in us three powerful weapons: knowledge: skills or ways of doing things: and a wholesome, forward- looking attitude. Knowledge is power. VVe have been taught to understand the nature of our physical environment. Because it plays no small part in our lives, we have learned something of that portion of the world that affects us. VVe are nothing if not at heart philosophers. VVe have formed a satisfying notion of this universe and of our relation to it, crude and incomplete though it be. 'l'he complexities and contradictions of the social forces that play upon us have bewildered us. 'llhe study of the organization of governments, of the conduct of business, of the growth of customs and conventions, and of the unfolding of social and racial experiences, past and present, has lifted for us the haze of ignor- ance. According to llacon: Histories make men wise: poets, witty: the mathe- matics, subtle. Another type of knowledge that we have mastered is an understanding of ourselves. XYe have been through a critical period of our lives, a period of building bodies and of forming ideas and opinions. VVe have come to know ourselves. 'llhis is a vital part in our adjustment to the world. Uur school activities have been a series of situations at the root of which have lain many problems. Our skill in the solution of these problems is our second weapon. 'l'he important thing is not that we have the knowledge of the Pythag- orean proposition or of the Renaissance, but that we have the ability to tind our problems, meet them squarely, and solve them unllinchingly. Our third weapon is our attitude toward people and ideas. Our career will be determined not by what we know, but by what we love. VVhat we love has lieen determined, in large part, by the companions we chose, by the books we read, and by the recreation in which we participated. VVe have been brought to desire above all else and to tind complete satisfaction in a consciousness of a situation frankly faced and properly met. lior these powerful weapmmsfknowledge, skill, and attitude-we give thanks to our friendsgto our teachers, parents, and classmates. 'l'heir assistance has made it possible for us to be graduated well equipped for the contlict before us. 'llo them we are deeply grateful. Vve give thanks also to University High School for the IlIllltH'llllllllCS'f2lllllCllC, scholastic, and social-which it has offered. lirom this moment University lligh School becomes one of our treasured memories. 'llo it and to all. of you who have been associated with our life there, we bid Il fond fitrewell. f-rl Davin l'il,1,lS Raul' 7'zm'l1tv-urlw
