JACQUES THE SPIRIT OF 1917 is upon us. The sight of the blue and the khaki everywhere has made us realize that we are at war. The many start- ling events within the last few months have demonstrated that our government is engaged in a tremendous and dan- gerous undertaking. We are living in a time which will forever be remembered as the scene of the struggle to decide whether or not Democracy must pre- vail. The loyalty to country and the love of freedom instilled in our hearts from early childhood must, at a time like this, reveal and declare themselves. And now we all lean our shoulders against the mighty wheel of the War machinery of the United States in our attempt to check the ruthless hand of Prussian barbarity. Thus, regardless of our rank or age, we are all co-work- ers in the same just cause. And it is with this feeling of fellow- ship that 1 wish you a hearty welcome in behalf of the VValtham High School and of the Class of 1918. Our government, during the past year of the conflict, has declared that in order to successfully conclude this present struggle, the co-operation of each of its citizens must be secured, that his every effort must be concen- trated on the advancement of its war operations. This declaration has re- quired of some actual aid, work in munition factories or other war indus- tries. Of the young man it has exacted the supreme sacrifice, the offering of his life, his all, for the protection and safeguard of those at home. This per- formance of duty has, as yet, required very little of high-school pupils. Their sacrifices have been thus far compara- tively few. Let us review the war-work of our school during the past year. The work in aid of the Red Cross should not be under-valued. Particular weight was placed, hy those in authority, on the need of this work. The total produc- tion of the school amounted to several hundreds of dollars. The request of the Y. M. C. A. for the earning and giving of 310, by every boy, a plan designed not only to help hnancially, but to create the much needed labor as well, was splendidly answered by Waltham High School boys. In this same phase of aid farm- called was the enlistment of boys for service. In addition, we were upon to assist the many war-aids which were begun during the year. The mem- bership of the school in the Junior Red Cross was over a hundred per cent. The spirit created in the school at the time of the Liberty Loans was doubt- less instrumental in the enlightening of many homes as to the urgency of the success of those drives. Finally, is our contribution to those who have offered their lives that they might help defeat a most inhuman and atrocious people, that they might foil the diabolical plans of a wretch at once the most despicable and most savage the world has seen. Of these boys we say with Abraham Lincoln, God bless the soldiers and seamen and all their brave command- ers. Let us for a moment picture ourselves in the devastated fields of war-stricken France. Let us compare the lot of the French youth with security. The boys our comfort and of France are in the trenches fighting beside their fathers their countenances and brothers. On we see no longer the look of youth. Instead, there is a grim, determined aspect. The task of saving their coun- try and of revenging their outraged -T2s.fs?.21s.?:.f-r' .fs Riff? .A

The work of the men is being per- formed by the women and girls. No smiles on their visages. The French girl has realized the exigency of the time and has proved herself equal to it. The schools of France, subterranean in the sections where the battles are rag- ing, are now attended only hy the very small children, who are often compelled to wear gas masks as a protection from the poisonous fumes. Classes have been conducted while shells were bursting within a few yards. We know that the boys and girls of England have similarly sacrificed every- thing. England's ranks are hlled with boys of our age. The war industries are being conducted through the em- ployment of women and girls, who are doing the labor of the men eagerly and conscientiously. In our school, the display of patriot- ism during the past year has been most inspiring. The success of the coming year rests entirely with the student body. Gur ease and immunity, so much in contrast with the privations and sacriiices of our allied friends, 41 ofa: 9, bl 7 Q X C should leave us no alternative. The same work must be repeated and even exceeded, since the need is greater. It is our most fervent wish that Waltham High School stand foremost in the dis- charge of its duty. VVe should not forget, however, that it is still the duty of the American youth to prepare for the higher work of our country. Education must still be fostered. President Wilson recently emphasized the importance of this when he stated that there is even greater need for highly educated men and women. College presidents cry out in unison against the neglect of education. So. with this thought in mind, let us make the standard of Waltham High School excellence in education and sin- cerity in patriotism. With these com- bined we cannot failg they must inspire us to victory and to peace. Let us all strive to make ourselves worthy of the great sacrifice our boys are making for usg let us consecrate ourselves to our task, and having thus chosen our course, without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly hearts.
