MR. WINFIELD W. MENHENNETT Dean ot Instruction and Registrar To THE Class of 1944: As the school year draws to a close and Graduation Day becomes a reality, we pause in retrospect and then face the future. War in its reality has been close and many have felt its cruel force. Our thoughts go out to those who would have been graduated with the class of 1944. Scattered far and wide, they, too, are think- ing ot West Chester and of Graduation Day. Duty called them, and now they are giving in service all that can be asked of these brave, loyal citizens. They, in answering the call to duty, will hel]i make a world free for you who are now members of the Graduating Class. At this point, a new responsibility comes to you, presenting at the same time an opportunity for the greatest of services. The future will be in a great measure colored by your activities as teachers. Many thousands ot children must be trained and prepared to carry and protect the freedoms which our boys are giving back to us as our rightful heritage. Without a thorough and sane training of the children and youth of America, all that their sacrifices represent might be lost. The first duty facing you on this day is the duty to devote the very best that you have to teaching. The teacher has the most enviable position among those who formulate thought, mold character, and develop personality. Today, it is said that no place on the earth ' s surface is more than sixty hours from your own home. This brings us in intimate contact with many places and with all classes of jjeojile. Life takes on new meanings and living becomes more of a cooperative enterprise. We must learn how to live in close contact and coopera- tively with others. At the same time, we must by example and by sound teaching lead others to this same attitude and practice ot cooperative living. My hope is that West Chester has produced this in your lite. Al - wish is that you will go out into the schools of our Nation and teach others the best that life has to offer. To me, it seems that the proudest moment in one ' s lite is when he or she can sav I SERVE . WINFIELD W. MENHENNETT, 28
