You have dedicated your annual to the average high school student, but this great student body is not the only organization thinking ot you and dedicating themselves to you-your homes, your churches, your schools, many civic organizations, and your country- all are dedicated to youth and place their confidence in youth. The World is for youth. Indeed there are many difficulties facing youthg to tind employment is one. Four million young people are without work, but this vast num- ber surveys show is made up ot young peo- ple who did not prepare themselves tor any occupation and would not establish in their lives desirable attitudes. The World is Will- inq to pay liberally young people who have made dependability, honesty, courage, cheertulness, and industry the warp and Wool of their character. They are in demand. No door at which youth ever knocked Against his manly form was locked. lt ever man on earth was tree And independent, it was he. No broken pledge lost his respecty He met all men with head erect.
