SUPERI TE DE Twelve To the Graduates of 1940: It is Htting that the theme of your Yearhook he Democracy The privileges of the American democracy are numerous'-Afree educationf-freedom of expression fthe right to develop individual talents-particif pation in the making of laws and the choosing of leadersf'-eyes, even an assurance of johs for the un' employed, pensions for the aged, and food for the starving--fthese are all privileges which are yours hccause you live in America. You must he thank' ful for them. But no privilege can he claimed without a corres' ponding ohligation, and the ohligations of democ' racy are heavy and demand many things. Willing' ness to guarantee to others rights you claim for yourself-fhesitancy to demand services from govern' ment which you are not willing to support hy taxatione-allegiance and loyalty hy word and deed to the form of government from which you claim these privilegesf Hnally, the consecration of your intellect and your ahility to the welfare of your communityf-these are the obligations of democracy. May you face the future with deep gratitude for the privilege of living in a democracy and with a full sense of the heavy ohligation which democf racy places upon you. HARRY L. STEARNS

,Y An Administrative Conference f PRI CIPAL More than one hundred and fifty years ago a group of famous statesmen assembled in Philadelphia to draw up a plan for our life together in America. Since then we, the people, have chosen men to rep' resent us in our nation, states, and communities. Vwle have heard a great deal in these days respecting the rights of private judgment, the rights of lahor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. At times we decided to change the original idea, hut for the most part we have followed it assiduously and have applied it to our modern life. That plan is for democracy. In a democracy we are all huilders, for we have heen given important roles, and its tasks are our heritage. Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty: This heritage will soon he yours, and I have full confif dence that each of you will perform well your assigned duties. This is the rule of life today, As it has ever been: The world bestows its smile on those Vkfho have the strength to win. Beneath all outward semblances It looks for 'merit true, It little caves how much you know, But asks, what can you do?'l LLOYD L. LAMMERT I T1lI1'ft'CIZ
