ti MTODAY DECIDES TGMORROVW What does this motto really signify? To my mind it seems to tell S each of us that what we try to do today will nt us for the trials in the H world of tomorrow. I 'I We must keep one thought in mind: We are the citizens of tomorrow. lx' What we do and what we become during our school years are the qualities on which the greatness of our country rests. 5, The history of the world proves that the inventions, the discoveries, and the benefits of mankind are only the sums of the qualities that our ancestors have worked to attain. 'lhis fact means that we must shape our lives and profit by the mistakes of our elders so that we can make the world a better place in which to live. The world today is in a turmoil with wars, revolutions. and avarice. Let us as graduates of Wakefield lligh prove to all men that we shall never be at fault for causing any stain against the town, the state, or the country in which we live. We are determined to live in peace and to fit ourselves for a place in the world of tomorrow by our actions now-TODAY. NORMAN E. WH1ToN, '41 If .... Q, Page Seven
