II, IKXIIKES Sugu-rinto-mlellt of Scllrmls I'rincip:ll Director of XVilli:ln1sport 'l'n-vllnit-:ul Institut dministration We extend greetings and best wishes to the graduating class of l94-6 in a spirit of thankfulness that World War II has ended. We pause for a moment to pay tribute to those of our number who made the supreme sacrifice in this war against the forces of evil and aggression. We honor all who in any way contributed to our victory. To the future with its responsibilities we look with confidence. Today the common interest, the common thought, the common hope that stirs the minds and hearts of the peoples of all United Nations is to achieve a just and durable peace. We look to the day when all peoples throughout the world may live free lives untouched by the forces of tyranny and intolerance. We well know that war means action, fighting and dying. Too often we assume that peace means quiet, rest and complacency, but actually peace involves effort and struggle. We must he on the alert, we must fight for peace continuously, invoking the principles of justice, toleration and truth. The strength and future of America depends upon the willing- ness of each one of us to accept the responsibility of citizenship and to play our part as alert citizens of our community, state and nation.
