The address was delivered by Dr. Robert F. Galbraith.

presi-I dent of Westminster college, New i Wilmington. Pa. The auditorium was artistical-! ly decorated with school colors, flowers and greenery and filled with relatives and friends of the i graduates. The capped and gowned grad-i uates filed into the auditorium the strains of the processional, "War March of the Priests," by the high school band. The invo-i cation was pronounced by Rev.

Gerald W. Dieter and greetings extended by Dean Whitfield of I the class, on the subject, "How Can We Best Protect American ism?" The young orator said, that we can best protect American- ism through brotherhood; true brotherhood among all the peo-: pie, starting at home with our and fellow countrymen that will help protect our rights and privileges. He asked, how can we ever expect to lead the world in brotherhood with all this internal strife bubbling within our own country? "Another stumbling "block to national and perhaps universal I brotherhood is the religious and I racial prejudices of our own people. It is hard to believe that such circumstances exist in a nation so highly civilized as the United States. We cannot protect our Americanism materialistically.

Without the help of God it will be all in vain. "We. the class of 1946, have to realize the responsibilities which face us. because we are the future citizens. It is the duty of every citizen to place a ballot, as this is the one-way protection of Americanism.

We shall protect Americanism through brotherhood and with the help of God. which with ample protection will enlarge the probability of world peace." The vocal trio of the school, Gene Hess. Nona Hackenberg and Annabel Price, sang beautifully, "Peggy" by Ralph Cox. The farewell address on "What Can America Best Contribute to the Winning of the Peace?" was presented by Miss Howard, who said the best thing this country can do toward that end. is the establishment of leadership, as it is better fitted than any other nation to lead the way.

She said this leadership does not mean dictatorship, but that the United States should set forth principles for the world to accept or refuse. World peace may be achieved by international law for all nations. Waiting until people respect the rights of one another would take an eternity. All nationalities must respect and obey something higher than they. In America, the melting pot of nations, the thing that demands peaceful cooperation is law municipal, state and federal." The presentation of awards was made by J.

Harry Henshaw, the principal, and presentation of the class by Dr. J. L. Hackenberg. superintendent.

The diplomas were presented by Hervey N. Hyle. president of the board of education. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Father John P.
