THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 Graduation Night Program SALUTATORY THE VETERAN IN THE NEW WORLD Parents, Teachers, Members of the Board of Education, and Friends: It gives us great pleasure to welcome all of you to our graduation exercises. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for your cooperation and interest in our activities throughout our school years. As we shoulder our responsibilities in the World of Tomorrow, we shall try to prove to you that your efforts have not been in vain. The Post-War World, as we all know, will be different in many ways from the world in which we have been living. The task of reconversion and rehabilita¬ tion in our nation will be a great one. To be successful in this undertaking we must have the cooperation of each and every American. Probably the largest class of people who will help to reconstruct the country will be the returning service men. Many will come home with definite ideas about the future and the type of work they will do. Some may desire to resume the occupations they held prior to their entrance into the armed forces, while others may wish to continue in trades they have learned in the service. Others will enter new fields such as plastics, synthetics, and radar which will be developed in the post-war world. Upon everyone, however, will rest the responsibility of help¬ ing these returning veterans to regain their places in life. But, what of the many who will not return? We know there are those who will have no share in the improvement of America, for they have given their lives for America. We owe them a great debt—one that we shall never be able to repay fully. However, the best way in which we may honor them is to uphold the prin¬ ciples and ideals of our great democracy for which they fought so valiantly. As Lincoln so well expressed, It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. Therefore, there is a tremendous task facing us, but we Americans must be prepared to meet it, with the same courage and spirit as Americans before us have met their problems in our nation s history. Erma Olivi 45 THE REFUGEE IN THE NEW WORLD From the time that the Pilgrims set foot upon the soil of the New World, until the present day, America has been the home of refugees and the haven of op¬ pressed people from all over the world. The Pilgrims were the first to open a new life for themselves here in this land of plenty. Since then have come French Protestants, Jews, Italians and countless others from nations across the seas. Endless streams of refugees knock at our doors seeking a new life. These oppressed peoples have learned the futility of struggling against hatred and fear in the Old World; but in the New World they turn their faces toward a new day—a new sun.
