LEONARD A. STEGER Supcrintendellt of Schools The combined thought, effort, and heroic sacrihces of the Allied Nations brought the most devastating war in history to a victorious end. As that gigantic spectacle fades into the recent past, reverberations of differences between major powers loom large on the horizon. These difficulties are disturbing indeed to a warfweary world. The time seems very short for the waging of peace. The best instrument to come from the minds of contemporary statesmen for settling differences amicably between the nations of the world has been set in motion. It is striving diligently and desperately to meet the problems of reconstruction and to build unity and good will among men. If success is to be achieved in developing world unity, these leaders need the help and understanding and expressed conviction of many world citizens. As individual citizens of a great nation, to which the world is looking for leadership, it is our responsibility to seek out and continuously foster all those forces of good will which contribute to world unity. This is a task which will require diligence, perseverance, and vigilance. Short of war, the price of enduring peace is worth any cost. -12-

HOWARD A. LATTA 1J7 f7lCif7GI of High School The dedication of the 1946 Echo to world unity is an appropriate expression of what probably should be the primary concern of people the world around. For years world unity has been sought by a few but looked upon by many as an idealistic dream. Within the last few years scientiic development has thrust nations upon one another much as families who find themselves rubbing elbows in a large urban apartment building. Their habits of isolation and aloof dealings have been jolted into misunderstandings, mis' trust, and open friction. Very recent proof of super powers for destruction-a mere sampling of what might be developed-has shocked nations into the necessity of finding a way to live together. World unity begins at home-in the family, in the school, in the community, and in the nation. It is achieved by learning to work together in harmony in an ever expand' ing sphere. lf Webster Groves High School has truly served its purpose for you, it has been a laboratory for world unity. A few years ago most of you left five elementary schools for which you had built keen loyalties. You were certain that your school and its traditions were the best. Within a year or two these loyalties were largely forgotten. Your former customs, beliefs, and loyalties 'blended into new ways of working together. There is still a warm spot in your memory for the old school, but you now realize how narrow and foolish some of those loyalties were. If you have truly learned how false your opinion of the other fellow may beAthat your freedom ends where the other man's begins-and that life is a process of 'Lgive and take, you have learned the basic fundamentals of world unity. -13-
