I PMSS LVAC IAJ The government ot the Unrted States has repeatedly made the statement that it needs the aid t education today more than ev r before in the history of the nation The scho ls are really a part of the victory assem lv lines because they de- velop in the stuaents the abilities and slfills necessary not only to the armed torces but also to that great army ot workers behind the scenes We must have recruits for both of these armies if our aenvocratic institutions are to be preserved Those ot you students who are graduating l believe are well equipped to fill your place in the world because you have registered for the refresher mathe matics the necessary shop physics home nutrition and other courses geared to meet the urgent need The seriousness of purpose shown by the whole student body of Washington Union High School in this second year of war has proved without doubt that each memcer is keenly aware that history is in the making that the peace time scale of values must be abandoned that young people must consequently shoul- der heavier loads. Upon student s realization cf this changing order depends the tuture ot our country. 9
