C0 the 61455 of 1946 . . . You are the first class to graduate from the Watertown High School since peace has been restored to the world. Your generation has now the tremendous responsibility of seeking ways and means and finding the solution for a lasting peace through world unity. Science has progressed at a rate that is almost beyond human comprehension. New and rapid means of comnmnication, transportation, and production have caused nations to become infinitely more dependent upon and responsible to each other for their actions. The science of human relationships has not kept paceg man has not become adequately mentally or morally pre- pared for coping with his scientifically changed world. Because of these developments the friction which may arise between nations is of concern to all nations whether they are involved in the im- mediate misunderstanding or not. It is your problem to lend your influence in bringing about world unity so that these tremendously important tech- nological developments may be used for the advantage of mankind rather than for bringing about its destruction. War must cease to be a determining factor in the future of any nation. In order to avoid war you must think not only of material and economic gain but also of understanding the problems of other people, their needs and desires. Support the ideals that tend to influence people into dealing ethically and understandingly with one another. National as well as individual security in the future rests upon the ability of the individual to think in terms of world problems. You as individualslmay never sit at the conference table where international affairs are arbitrated even though you may have the privilege as citizens of interpreting properly the results of such meetings. But you as individuals are important. As you and your neighbors live and think and bear your share of voting and office-holding responsibility, so will the town and state and nation reflect your individual life and philosophy. As graduates you must meet your responsibilities as intelligent citizens, and you can do this best by trying to realize that the peace and dignity of your country can and must be main- tained through a real understanding of the value of world unity. y
