Taps for The President While the nation hoped, last week, for news of the end of the war in Europe, the world was electrified by the announcement of the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, only President of the United States ever to be elected to a third and fourth term. Mundelein students, like all young Americans, have grown up in the bears during which a great nation, under the leadership of a fearless and resourceful President, endured a tragic economic depression; geared ( tself for a world war, and watched its sons, responding to the challenge Jlf the Four Freedoms, leave the classroom and the gridiron for foreign Battlefields. I Mundelein students remember President Roosevelt as the man who re affirmed in the dark hours of the years just past, America's hope for the Buture, America's confidence that, with victory, the spirit of freedom and justice and security, envisioned here, might spread throughout the world. As their tribute to President Roosevelt, their pledge of loyalty to his successor, President Truman, Mundelein students resolve to live, to work, and to pray that, in the land he loved, the land for which he lived and died, the late leader's words may find enduring realization: THE STATE OF THIS NATION IS GOOD. THE HEART OF THIS RATION IS SOUND. THE SPIRIT OF THIS NATION IS STRONG. THE AITH OF THIS NATION IS ETERNAL. T*i iftX gt;S.
