ROBERT LASERTE The Class of 1946 gratefully appreciate the unselfish leadership of their Class Advisors who have guided them through their high school years. 46 CLASS ADVISORS MISSINA TALIEs HASTINGS MR. It is better for us to hold back the current together than to be thrown in- dividually against the rocks, for it has been, is, and always will be known that together we ad- vance, with unity as our strength. How often have we said, “I am independent” or “I have no need of others.”” Yet how paltry would our efforts seem if we tried to withstand the tide of united youth. Now can we say that unity is the bar- ricade that obstructs the destructive force of the current, the current that would sweep the lonely member of human society toward subversion. The traversing of life's bridge, with hands joined, insures the safety of the number instead of merely the salvation of the individual. ONWARD TOGETHER The army of the young, marching onward, is. “IT never hated any man I knew” would be said by more and more people if only we dreamers could spend as much on the promotion of inter- national understanding as we spend on instru- ments of death. This our good-will tourists would find: that the com- mon people of every land are good, decent folks. For only a part of the money paid to munitions-makers the nations of the world could make ambassadors of peace out of their high school graduates. bag the sum spent on the recent war, every nation could send its high school graduates on good-will tours of the world,-and I don’t mean hurried, sightseeing tours. The motto chosen by this class of 1946 is vital! Let us not forget it. We must be determined to broaden our education, outlook and understanding, whether we go into the service, to work, or to college. We must leave high school without prejudices against any group of people because of creed, color or race. ![]() ![]() The only defense we have against the atomic bomb is the Unity of all peoples. On Will Rogers’ monument is inscribed, “I never hated any man I knew.’ For a fraction of UNITY IS STRENGTH UNITY! What a big word it is, for now we use it in terms of the whole world-not just in terms of forty-eight states or one hundred thirty million people. ![]() Never can Betty or any other of the young people in her party look at a Russian, an Englishman, a Czech or any other “foreigner” in anything but a tol- erant light. Many of our speakers and writers would have us worried to the point of nightmares (‘‘civ- ilization is about to destroy itself,” ‘the atomic bomb has given us the power to blow the earth to“ pieces, petce ctGay) = I would have you dream of the kind of world this would be if every high school graduate every year could be given a trip like the one Betty Green, L.
