26 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Graduation Night Program SALUTATORY AMERICA —LAND OF OPPORTUNITY On behalf of the class of 1948 1 wish to welcome you—parents, teachers, mem¬ bers of the Board of Education, friends, and fellow classmates to our graduation ex¬ ercises. We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the kindness, patience, and loyalty you have displayed during our school years. As we the class of 1948 take our place in the world, we shall be faced with many new problems. Some of us will go on for further education, some will enter the business world, and others will enter the world of industry. Here in America we all have equal opportunities for advancement. Our nation is one of freedom, of liberty, and of opportunity. During the twentieth century great progress has been made in civilization. Great advancements have been made in the fields of science, medicine, and education. We are living in the Atomic age. Up until now the only use for Atomic energy has been for the Atomic bomb, but there are many possibilities for its peacetime uses. In the field of medicine the use of penicillin, and the sulfa drug have saved many lives. Organizations for the prevention and cure of cancer and many other dread diseases have also been set up. Then, too, great strides have been made in the educational field. More subjects have been added to the curriculum, the school day has been lengthened, and new methods of instruction have been employed. More attention has been paid to the individual and his differences. In fact, the modern school is striving to meet the needs of the pupil in this changing world. Furthermore, transportation facilities have been improved. Travel is now be¬ coming faster, safer, and more comfortable than ever before. Where else but in America could there be such opportunity for advancement? We, as the future generation of America, must meet the responsibilities of continuing the progress of our country and of mankind. Norma Rodklli ’48 DEMOCRACY —THE HOPE OF WORLD PEACE The skies began to darken and grow heavy with clouds, during the late 1930’s, and continued to become increasingly threatening till man found himself plunged into the midst of the greatest storm yet known—World War II. The war clouds hovered over us until 1945, when the bright sun of peace shone once more on the world. For a second time in twenty-five years, the homeless, desolate, but courageous people rose wearily to their feet and began to repair and reconstruct their torn and twisted lives, homes, and countries. Now after three brief years of peace the clouds of war are once more rapidly gathering. But if we allow the storm to break for a third time, shall we be capable of climbing to our feet and making a new start? It is very doubtful, for never before has the atom bomb, in all its prowess and destructive power, been unleashed on man. And the next war, if there is to be such a terrible thing, will undoubtedly be a war of atom bombs.
