A great challenge comes to the young people of this decade. They are
called to be good citizens, not only of their immediate communities and
their country, but also of the world.
All nationalities of the world have made their contributions to the
society in which we live. All peoples were created equal and should be
respected and appreciated by one another. We must learn to live with other
nations or we shall perish. Peace must rule and we must learn to have faith
in the integrity of our fellowmen. In such an atmosphere harmony may be
achieved.
We, the Annual Staff of the 1954 Yearbook of the Mead Consolidated
School, pledge ourselves to promote understanding and sympathy between
nations.
