MR. WILLIAM C. NOBLE Principal A little more than one hundred years ago Abraham Lincoln assumed the leadership of the United States. In his inaugural address he made an eloquent plea for settling by peaceful and lawful means the bitter difFerences of opinion which then gripped our country. At the same time he stated his firm determination to maintain the union at any cost — to fight for it if no other solution could be found. Shortly thereafter his stand on this issue was challenged; Lincoln stood firm; the country exploded In a civil war. Today, when tensions are certainly as great and when possible con- sequences are vastly more devastating, there is real evidence that our country and its leaders are prepared to take a firm stand to defend those rights and principles to which Americans have always been devoted. It is time again for all of us to ... highly resolve . . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Van Nuys students may well take pride in a yearbook which com- memorates the conflict by which we once proved our willingness to support our principles at all cost. II iW. C.NOBLE
