PRINCIPAIJS PAGE R. li, SUXNICXIXN. l'l'iiu-ipal 'lihe Class of lf?-lb is the first to go forth from high school into the postwar world. No longer are the tensions and tragedies of war your immediate destiny. True, the young men who graduate may have to serve a year or more in the armed forces, but you will not need to look forward to com- bat on a battlefield, battleship or fighting plane. Nom that we are at peace, let us look momentarily at postwar America to see what is in store for you. As you know, during the war there was virtually a complete suspension in the building of homes and business structures, and the manufacture of practically all articles of heavy industry such as autos mobiles. farm machinery. refrigerators, etc. This cessation of production created an enormous backlog of demand for these products. VVe are just getting started back on the road to production. America has the purchasing power to buy the products of industry just as soon as they are available. This means that there will be expanding opportunities for employment as these products begin to flow into the market. These will provide jobs at good wages for all who wish to work. 'l'here will also be new jobs created to build the new products to make life more liveable. New homes with new convenien- ces will be built. New factories, new industries, even new cities will rise to build the myriad new pro- ducts of the post war world. New highways will be constructed and new airways will he charted to carry on the commerce of a productive, prosperous postwar America. ln short, an era of unprece- dented prosperity lies immediately ahead of us. The future for you looks brighter now than at any time in our history. America is truly the land of opportunity for the ambitious young man or woman. ln the foregoing paragraphs l have been speaking of materialistic developments. l also envision a renaissance of spiritual values and social progress XVith the fear of unemployment gone. with the hysteria of war removed, and with normal home life coming back into own again, I believe America will rise to new heights of economic prosperity, social security, and spiritual stability. Your future is bright, Class of lq-I-6, and may you make the most of your abilities as you leave these portals. Romain' IC. Soxxiaxmx NIINN IiX'I'IlICRINlC l'ISIil I.SI'1X, Nr-bool N1-rutlix
