Russell Brines, Summer '28 graduate and former student body president of Venice High School, is now Associated Press correspondent in Tokyo, Japan. FIJHEWUHD The world's present darkness makes America more beautiful than ever before. lt is beautiful because hope lives and is nurturedg because ideas are a challenge, not a whipg because our brains and brawn are for construction, not destruction. America will be beautiful so long as we continue to think clearly, thoroughly and honestly. The frontiers of tomorrow will lie as surely within the human heart and the hu- man mind as on the fringe ofa distant land. When peace returns, man must rehabilitate himself while reconstructing what he has destroyed. The rest of the world will turn to America for new faith, new courage, new freedom. And she will depend upon you who are young today for the energy and the determination to restore humaneness to mankind. Above all other nations she has granted you the freedom and the means to think. That is your heritage, Each cannon roar makes it more priceless. RUSSELL BRINES.
