Texas ., FOREWORD As Will Rogers once said, "I am a part of all I've met," and so are you. Here in the best school in the world we suddenly realize how much all our friends and acquaintances have become a part of us-and we a part of them. Now, as we look back over our activities, la- bors and toils together, it is fitting that we have a book to help us preserve all those memorable and enjoyable times together. The CACTUS staff of nineteen hundred forty-five and forty-six sincerely hopes that this annual will give a true picture of this year spent in Abilene Christian High.

We further dedicate this annual to a representative of this worthy group, who was not only a student in this school, but a leader in all of its activi- ties. He was called to the service of his country, and on April 1, 1945, he made the supreme sacrifice. Therefore, we of the annual staff sincerely dedi- cate this annual to Private Gene Allen Scruggs.

Don't forget that. All of the important jobs have not been done. There is a challenge for everyone. Are you big enough to meet yours? The successful life has its.beginning in the heart of the individual. Confidence in oneself is an essential to success. when Jesus said, nIt is In, he was immediately recognized. But who are you? HI amn - I live, I exist, I have beer created, I have life. HI cann - I have power, I can do things, I cam make progress, I can achieve. HI oughtu -- I have a heart, I have a conscience, I know what I should do, I am a responsible being. NI willn - I can do and be what I doggedly, and determinedly will tu be' The first three, HI amn, HI cann, and NI oughtl, are God- given. The UI willn God leaves to you and me. The real person is not reflected in physical features or tailored clothing, Many a boy or girl with a fair intelligence quotient and no talent can make good if he has character.. Optimism is good, but hop-to-it-ism is better. Success to all of youl ' Your friend, Ernest D. Shelton Superintendent PRINCIPALIS MESSAGE tfflfps This year, as in other years, it seems that we have our best group of students. The greatest pleasure that I have is to see the progress made by the individual student. One of the strangest ideas is that onefs educa tion is confined to the years that he spends in school. Not a thousandth part of what we know is gained, or ever could be gained, in any school. Knowledge comes to us from our experiences, whether good or bad, success or failure. And the far larger part comes before or after school. It is our hope that you have acquired by now, a sincere desire to live the Christ-like way so that in the future we will know that you will have the good in- fluence in helping gain and enjoy the peace for which we have fought for and paid for so dearly.
