R E IF Ag, A C lE S we of the class of 1945 bid goodbye to a major part of our childhood and adolescent environment, we find a war-weary and confused world. The mis- takes of the past are all too evident to us, who are determined that they shall not happen again. We are a class stepping out into the world on the eve of victory in war, the victory of the peace is ours to win. In endeavoring to preserve the highlights of our years at the Academy, we are of necessity limited to the medium of printers' ink and paper, but it is our sincere hope that these will serve as stimulants for recollections as vivid as only the recesses of memory can conjure.

THE FACULTY T is platitudinous to say that a grcat deal of permanent influence is exerted by the faculty upon those students with whom they come in contact. Qftentimes, however, we fail to appreciate this fact, if we recognize it'. Every experience has its effects upon our personalities, and we have had many rich and varied experi- ences' with faculty acquaintances. During our years at the Academy we have supposedly learned something, and it is safe to say that no one is -to blame but the faculty. Perhaps someday we shall be grateful for their services. Considering the peculiar characteristics of the graduating class, the faculty deserves special commendation for withstanding the pressure of its exuberant spirits. fln all other classes, of course, there was little agitationj The daily tussles with weighty tomes were not half so severe, or so much fun, as those with teachers. Do you remember, you of the Upper School, those all too infrequent days in Mr. Pike's English class when we were lulled from the tedious intellectual battles of the day to the point of relaxation by his gentle readings from eighteenth century melodrama? And the precise, efficient hours spent in learning French with Mr. Sharp? Or the German periods, a bit baffling at first, even more so later on, under the watchful eye of Mr. Lindsey? And certainly you can't forget the days of violent epithets in Mr. Midgley's History, the indelible impressions -that the intric- acies of Mathematics made upon your minds through Messrs. Webber, Rodney and Meislahn. All this not to mention the fascinating times spent recuperating from the ascent to Lab, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Fullaytor, and enjoying 'the absorbing talks with Mr. Colton while declining a verb fwhich can't be done-Ed.j. For both Upper and Middle Schools, the healthful and vigorous athletic periods with Coaches Morris, Townsend and Sabisch need not be remembered for they will be felt. K Do you remember, too, Middle Scholars, your expert supervision by Miss Kermeth, Mr. Easton's discipline, playful hours with Mr. Warner cutting up wood, Mr. Fullaytor and his rugged manner, and the 60-yard dash to Mr, Totten's room? Such memories will be cherished for a long time. But in the accomplishment of their true purpose, giving us the fundamentals of an education, the faculty will always be a part of our daily lives to the degree in which they were successful. For that we can only say a heartfelt Thanks,'. CC .9 D RICHARD MATHER BACON DiequeJ' Bac Diek ' I7 yearx 5 months Williams College 1941-42-Pvt. lst Class Co.

After looking bashfully at each other for some time, they began to play, and soon were throwing sand into each other's eyes and ears like old friends. This motley crew included the socialite two-foot Boynton, that fat little pusher, Cuffy Williams, tall and silent John Kyfiin, un- combed Dick Bacon, the pudgy rascal, Avery Fullerton, the sly lad in the hip boots, Mouse Mardeng the muscular ape, Tony Sporborg, that handsome scoundrel with the cute sm-ile, Chuck Stevens, that slight but durable will-o-the-wisp, Dave Pike, and last but never least, the tiny executive, Fat-Man Morris. That First day was the beginning for a class long to be remembezed at the Academy. We found a practically new building and proceeded to use it roughly during the whole of our thirteen years in the school. And so, from Miss Greanleaf we passed on to the first grade, where under Miss McCormick we were joined by two muscular lads, Tom Proctor,' Gamble and I-lil Greeley. In the next year we met the first of those two frank teachers who expressed their honest opinion of us. Miss Davenport called us the worst second grade she could remember, and that included three years in a steel-mill town. In the third grade, we met Miss Russell and learned spelling, the multiplication table and a lot of other things too. During 1936, we were coached by Miss Swantee and had our first picnic at Bacon's sandy but Hgee, it's niceu Queechy Lake. The next year saw a small boy wander into our midst as Tyler Headley joined the miscreants. That same year Miss Davenport had her second inning, but we were older and much wiser', and managed to escape with only a little of that red stain. We also met Miss Davis that same year and really began to learn history. In the sixth grade we reached the sum- mit of the lower school and were fast becoming uneasy about that frightening word which was whispered behind closed doors only, Drill',. During the reign of Miss Snively and Miss jordan, we were enlarged by the two muscle-boys, Scholtz and Moessinger. That same year, George Ross entered the ranks and distinguished himself by breaking a window and chasing us all madly around with a chair. Detail, attennun-shun! This is the worst Gompany G welve ever seen, rasped the voices of our zealous instructors. We thought we'd never learn the intricacies of rig-ht turn, and they must have been sure of it. After our first year as Upper Schoolmen, Dr. McCormick left, and although disappointed by his de- parture, we remained to witness carefree days under Mr. Stetson and knew we had 44 22 PD nothing to fear. During that plebe year, when Mr. Easton's red hair and Mr. Paul's dictionaries were the only frightening aspects, the then-innocent Ed Lucke and our preacher Bob Jamison joined the throng. The school year passed-punctuated by both Mr. Eastonls and hir. Paul's frequent outbursts. We left both embittered. The second form year was noted mainly for teachers Fred Bowman and Anson B. Moran. lvfr. Bowman was later hired as a double for Governor Dewey and could tap-dance too. As we became freshmen, noisy Harry Boardman, cute Irv Burrows, reliable Bob Clark, and naive Malcolm Riley joined us. We learned about skiing from Mr. Owen, Shakespeare from Mr. Pike, and Mr. Midgley carried on Miss Davcnportls good work. The outlook for the following year was bright, for the societies loomed there. How we dreaded those initiations! We were surprised and delighted to learn from Mr. Brown that there were people less scholarly and of less intellect than we tilliterate Mexicans in Boulder City, Arizonaj. We were alarmed in Chapel one day by Mr. Brown's violent outburst: Either sing it the right way, or Iam through, through I At the end of our fourth form year, both Mr. Brown and Mr. Stetson left. . Then came the fifth form, and Mr. Meislahn took over. Immediately the enrollment jumped. Wfas this a sound increase, or was it inflation? I VVe don't know yet, but those two outcasts from Poker Flat, Bernie Conners and Larry Foley, several out-of-towners, Blubber Wemple, quiet Roger Sheldon, mysterious Harry Southworth Cwe donlt understand him yetj, Chief Peckham, Bluebeard Gold, and unassuming Avery Holzworth descended upon us. Colonel Conners, with the aid of a pair of loaded dice and a roulette wheel, picked sixteen of us to be sergeants two were on our way up in the worldj . And so we were seniors-and a pretty bunch. This year we acquired the Altamont Fox QCharlie Coonsj, Red Brownell, and the affable Earll' Parkhurst. Again Colonel Conners rolled those dice, and sixteen of us became officers in the battalion. Then came our Hrst parade as officers, the dances, the OB. and Scholtzls party, the 847 Club, Bernie's farewell party, the carnival, the competitive drill, the sixth form dance,-and now graduation. The school, shaken at our departure, is still standing fwe have left it for next yearls classj. We have had a good time here, and now we are ready to go out into the world, head held high, chest lifted, and heads reeling,-ready to inflict our various temperaments on the services and colleges of the country. 4'Hold on to your hats- herc comes the class of '45! 442375- HUMCOJRES lUlE I1ACON4Shc had Dick worried by constant talk of a Scarborough lover until she made the mistake of showing him to us. Dicque never could comb the Queechy sand from his hair. Always the last to break a tradition, we called him the Conservative . BOARDNIAN-Harry always brightened up those long, lonesome evenings. If we all had the Boardman technique, what couldn't be done? He nearly ran out' of weeping towels this year. BOYNTON-The genial proprietor of the 847 Club never really could stomach the Albany girls after spending the summer with those glamorous lovelies at Madison. Ach spent about half his last weekends in Connecticut and the other half talking about them. Oh, those flowing locks, Ach! BROWNELL- Brownie', came to school with hay-seeds in his hair, but heis gradually losing some of them in the company of our Albany city-slickers. How about some of those corn squeezings, Brownie? BURROWS- Stop throwing those light-bulbs around, Edgar. Burrows stopped eating his lunch early-wonder why? If we didnlt know ulagof' better, we might think he was sleeping. CLARK-The big frog in a little pool. Rumor has it that those stripes were tattooed on his arm. K'Bob would have made a good basketball manager if he had come around more often. CONNERS-The Rabbitl' never did get to know the boys in Company D very well. We said good-bye to Bernie every week for months before he left for the Army. Don't forget to remember us to Mr. X the next time you see him! COONS-How about coming into town tonight? Ture, ture, said the Altamont- Fox, I hope the bus isnit late. Maybe he will stop answering Mr. Holmes' questions by saying L'You got me when he's stumped. Some one always pops up with the answer, I donit want you . FOLEY- Fluff with his open, innocent face fooled a lot of us. His most famous remark seemed to be, She's just out of this world . Please tell me, I won't tell anyone. How are those driving lessons coming, Fred? FULLERTON-Skinner was laziest office-messenger to plague the staff in recent years. f'Where are you going, Ave? fXQ'Zn81.! To shine my shoes, XXQZSL!

Hil had Mr. Anthony beat by a mile with his famous good-will talks at the Girls' Academy. We don't understand Hil, but maybe they do. HEADLEY-Sorry our dances bore you, Ty. Guess you couldn,t stand the long distance between Loudonville and Peyster Street, so you had to foresake the wilderness for a more civilized spot. Ty has been in the groove for the last four years. HOLZWORTH- Right shoulder, ohms Ei' Avery bafHed us for two months with his Green- bush accent before our trained interpreter, the jovial Math. man, translated it into English. We never could Hgure out what happened to him that night at Scholtzfs after the Guidon. JAMISON-Always great on humming, der fuehrer could be counted on to brighten up any class with the latest funeral march. Bob never did get to hold that seance we heard so much about. - CC 24 75 KYFFIN-In spite of his good looks, the kitten never could be inveigled into a date with them fickle wimmin . John never could quite throw Lucke out of the window. When he could put the check-rein on his wild young energy, Jinx would put on his best English accent to get the demerit slips. LUCKE-He really takes seriously being our class, number two steady. Wish we could have seen more of Ed, but those nursery rhymes had to be told. Who do you think you're kidding, Ed, the Colonel, the teachers, the redhead, or yourself? IVIARDEN-Herels our vote for the potential class lover f Aw, I don't know any girls. j The first ten years are the hardest, Bill. How about naming Dartmouth's athletes for the last hundred years, Ears? Mouse's dry humor brightened many a poker session at the 847 Club. MOESSINGER-Everybody thought Red was a woman hater until they saw him in action at the l'Royal'l. Doesn't drink, doe-sn't smoke, howls he make out with Cuffy? Keep saving yourself for that Lake George belle, Red. He made 357.23 and two Als QU on Mr. Midgley's radio. MORRIS-That summer on those dashing expeditions to Sehroon Lake and Pennsylvania, Barr and Harry formed a famous partnership. Barr found Albany quite tame after those starry Timlo evenings, and was often to be found in Troy. The fat man used to drive the truck at Timlo-maybe the steering wheel did break, maybe the sand did grip the wheels, but there was no evidence that Barr used the brakes. PARKHURST-The big boy from Schenectady had a smile for everybody. Jovial Parkie surprised us all in the Vincentian game with that tremendous wallop. PECKHAM- Whatta ya think, Chief? Don't know, Moe, Ugh! Chief always had the French class waiting for his next word. He's working on a book called Why the present-day Indian is so reservedu.

SCHOLTZ-One of the big men around school, f'Shortiel, took great delight in his toy soldiers. Jim had a lot of faculty friends, and was untouched by the rebellious spirit. As far as social life was concerned,-strictly aloof. SHELDON-Roger joined the Navy to escape Sam Baeon's classes. ,Hal ha! Rog, it crossed you up. They have them at Sampson, too. Maybe the Navy can tear Mr. Studious away from his books. Good luck, Salty! SOUTHWORTH-An episode on a test paper on Monday morning- Mr, Webber-I knew it last night, I knew it again this morning, but I don't know it now. Love, Harryn. One teacher says, When I see you out there running the mile, working so hard and so determined, I admire you, but when I get you in my history class . . . . Silence is golden. SPORBORG-The bag takes our vote for 'fthe origin of the speciesw. He has that caveman approach, about as subtle as a Mack truck. Q: Taking this down, Sporborg? A: No, why should I?', STEVENS-When Chuck got his tooth fixed, the dentist gave him gas. He never did wake up. I didn't know we shouldn't do that. Oh, those exotic weekends! WEIVIPLE-Clark was loudest when bemoaning his fate and the tough breaks chance gave him. The Dumb Dutchmann delighted in skipping the Schenectady bus so he could hitch-hike to school, in leaving his English class to see the nurse and in complaining untiringly to the teachers. Come on, Gee! WILLIAMS-Is this trip really necessary, Pete? Cuffy ,planned to get admitted to Williams College on his name alone. Dr. Fischoff saw more of him than the Academy did.

The battalion C243 strongj was formed, as soon as school opened in September, with all members of the Middle and Upper Schools participating. The Battalion, which is the only organization to which every student in the upper six forms belongs, emphasizes discipline and the feeling that the cadet Hgrayw must receive highest esteem. During the first month of drill, the recruits were instructed in the manual of arms and in marching with the seniors alternating as officers. Thus, after each senior had been rated according to his merits, the commissions were announced. Col. John Conners, Jr., professor of military science and tactics, presented the sixteen commissions with Major Scholtz leading the Battalion in its seventy-fifth year. The succeeding weeks were devoted to preparation for the Armistice Day parade. After making a creditable appearance on Armistice Day, the military unit went indoors and began its winter program. Through the winter months, the cadets were taught map-reading, triangulation, first-aid, military courtesy, rifle marksmanship, and the Infantry Drill Regulations. Recruits continued practicing the manual of arms under special instructors. In February, the company commanders began intense preparation for the annual Guidon Drill to be held on March 23. During the weeks that followed, the companies drilled at the Troop B Armory to attain their highest proficiency in close-order drill. Previous years' traditional uthirty-twol' drills were enlarged to forty in the company competition for the coveted guidons. With only five days' practice for the drill at the Washington Avenue Tenth Infantry Armory, most of the time was spent in reviewing the Battalion drill. Friday, March 23, the Guidon Drill, the biggest event of the year, finally arrived. The Battalion passed in review before Governor Dewey and his staff. During the evening parade, which followed the Guard Mount, Governor Dewey awarded the Guidons to Captain Richard NI. Bacon of Company B, the winning company. Alumni, parents and friends were present to witness this outstanding function of the year. 44 35 PD MILITARY AWARDS THE ERNEST L. MILLER MAJOR'S MEDAL Given in memory of Major Ernest L.

They were co-captains Barr Morris and Jim Seholtz, Tony Sporborg and Bernie Conners fV.I. transferj. In the opening game, the Red and Black defeated Philip Schuyler, 20-0. Against two tough Schenectady high schools, Mont Pleasant and Nott Terrace, the Academy team came out victorious, 7-O and 14-6, respectively. Cn October 28, the Academy squad met Albany High on our field. After at thrilling comeback for us, the score at half time was 20-19 in favor of Albany High. The second half revealed that both teams were very weak, as Academy pulled ahead in the final stages only to lose the game in the last few minutes by a 33-32 score. The following week, a sluggish Red and Black eleven lost to a powerful Cranwell squad, 20-7. In the last tilt of the year we suffered our third defeat of the season by losing 19-0 against Vincentian. Next year's football team appears to have both spirit and power. Those re- turning are Captain Jerry Elliot, Ben Cubbage, Ted Woodward, Doug Canaday, Russ Dodds and John Kyfhn. 44 38 D Rear-Cameron, T. D,, Cubbage, Friesner, Clark CManagerl.

Having defeated Milne in a non-league game, the team lost the second game to Vincentian, 14-12, although the Cadets showed some potential batting power by rallying in the final inning. After this game, rainy weather began to take its toll by postponing four succes- sive games. However, later, the team again pitted its skill and strategy against t-he other highly favored Albany nines. Although Albany High School, C.B.A., and Vince-ntian gained three straight victories from us, Academy scored its second win over Schuyler, with the aid of Outfielder Dick Bryant. The one game this year in which the team had a Held day was in the postponed contest with Darrow, for almost everyone on the squad got a hit, all of which helped to win the game by the score of 19-2. The team's captain and flashy infielder, Bernie Conners, was inducted into the Armed Forces shortly before this game and therefore forced Coach Morris to revamp his inheld slightly. Soon afterwards, however, the infield had to be changed again, for Chick Cleveland, shortstop and pitcher, left school. In the two tilts following his departure, the Cadets triumphed once to end the season with a record of Hve wins and seven losses. it K 40 D Rear-Coach Townsend, Smith, Moessinger, Ashby, Melhado, Jamison CManagerj.

HOCKEY HIS year, because of transportation difficulties, the hockey team was able to play only two oHicial games, one with the Williams College Freshmen, and the other with the West Point Plebes. The team was very fortunate in that several let-termen of the previous season were back on the squad. It was not fortunate in the weather, however, for because of the snow, practice was difficult. The team played remarkably well against the heavier Williams players. The score was 1-0 in favor of Williams, this point being made in the end of the last period. The second game was played at West Point. A heavy snowfall the previous week had made practice impossible, but this rest did not help the team. The team was defeated by the Plebes, 6-2. The prospects for next year's team are very promising, and under the able coaching of Mr. Townsend, the team should be able to have a successful season. 44419 Third Row-Lusty, Morehouse, Marden, Allen, Taylor, Tucker.

TRACK HIS year's track team took the majority of first places, but could not get enough second and third places to win. Of the four meets scheduled, those with Watervliet and Philip Schuyler were called off because of the weather. In the meets wit'h Bethlehem Central and C.B.A. we lost by scores of 56-48, 58-46, respectively. jim Scholtz and co-captains Ed Lucke and Harry Southworth were consistent winners. Scholtz broke his own record in the shot put, and Southworth broke his record in the mile twice. Tony Sporborg he-lped in the broad jump, and Bill Marden in the shot put and discus. In the Albany Track and Field Meet we took four first places: Jim Scholtz, shot put and discus, Harry Southworth, mile run, and Ed Lucke, half-mile run. John DeGraff in the quarter and Bill Marden in the discus took third place each to make our total add up to fourth place. Next year the team will be built around Ashby, high jumper, DeGraff, quar- ter milerg Hickey, rniler, Cameron, dash man, Akullian, pole vaulterg and Saunders, low hurdler. 44 42 D Rear-Lauterback, Diamond, Cobden, Knickerbocker, Weltman, O'Connor fManagerl.

TENNIS S this article is written, the tennis team, captained by Irv Burrows, has played two matches, defeating Troy High, 5-1, and losing to Milne, 3-7. It has a return match with Troy, and two with Milne yet to play. Also it will oppose Nott Terrace twice, Williams College, Bethlehem Central and a faculty team. A An unusually large number of 'boys turned out for practice. Coach Totten immediately set to work and has done an excellent job in improving individual play- ing as well as in developing teamwork for doubles players. His efforts have brought about a team strong in numbers, cooperation and spirit. Manager Tom O'Connor's fine work also deserves a good deal of praise. Outstanding in the two completed matches were Bill Sutherland and Dave Stevenson, both as single players and as a doubles team, Bruce Cobden's and Red Diamond's work in doubles matches, and Dick Lauterback and Tom Gamble's doubles combination. The team is expected to complete a good record this year and with only Irv Burrows and Tom Gamble leaving, should do even better in 1946. K 43 D SWIMMING SOCCER OACHED by Al Sabisch and cap- tained by Dick Bacon, this year's swimming team had a very short sea- son. Because of the fuel shortage in mid- January which caused the winter va- cation , all but two of the meets had to be canceled. These two contests were with the same team-the Pitts- field Boys' Club. In the first meet, which was held in the Academy pool on February 27, the visitors won by a seo-re of 34-32. The Academy took four first places but were weak in the follow-up points. For the second and last meet, the team traveled to Pittsfield, where they were again defeated but this time by a score of 34-31. This meet took place on March 1 and the Red and Black team took three firsts and a relay. The decisive event in this meet was the 180-yard relay, which the Pittsfield boys won. So the season, though short and sweet, ended after only two meets, yet experience and the nucleus for next year's team were the advantages of the 1944-45 season. 44 44 P? HIS year, for the first time in the Academy's history, a soccer team was organized under the supervision of Coach Sabisch. Picked from an intra- mural group, the team played six games, losing five, two to Heatley, two to Watervliet, and one to Waterford. The season ended with a victory over Waterford in a return game. ' Next year, with more experience behind it, the team, captained by Bill F riesner, anticipates a more successful season.

Barr Morris, chosen President by a vote of the entire student body, presided as Dick Bacon was elected Vice-President, Irv Burrows Secretary, and John Kyflin Treasurer. Other members were Jim Scholtz of the Sixth Form, Ted Woodward of the Fifth Form, and Clark Daggett and Jim Fullerton from the Fouth and Third forms respectively. Mr. Meislahn acted as faculty adviser. In its chief capacity as a medium between the faculty and the student body, the council this year performed many acts, the most important being these: contrib- uting money to the War Chest, Red Cross and similar institutions, setting the dates and times for all dances during the year, and distributing the student tax. Weekly meetings were held with Mr. Meislahn during which many student matters were discussed and acted upon. Student Council members gain valuable knowledge from their experiences with the faculty and other members. ' 44 48 D PUBLICATIONS HE Fish 51 Pumpkin was extremely fortunate this year in having started with a clean slate. All previous de'bts had been wiped away by means of gifts from the Mothers' and Fathers' Associations and by the diligent and economical work of last year's Board. As in former years, the publication was brought back into circulation as a four-page issue. 'There were twelve editions this year, spaced about two or three weeks apart, thus adequately covering the news of the school. In December, as a year ago, the Alumni Association sponsored an issue pur- posely for our graduates who are serving with the forces of the United States. Every alumnus was mailed a copy of this publication entirely at the expense of the Asso- ciation. We received many letters of gratitude, thanking us for our work in connection with this special feature. We feel only too happy that wehcould have been of service to those of the boys who once knew and still remember the life at the Academy. I So, all in all, the publications have been a successful venture this year. The staff 'of this year's Fish' G? Pumpkin has 'been especially efficient and loyal. We leave the management of the school paper in the hands of next yearls class, our successors, wishing them good luck to help them along their way. Rear-McChesney, Gamble, Burrows.

Tll-lIlE DRAMATTCS CLUB wo minutes to curtain !-Two minutes to curtain-! The house-lights dimmed and the curtain rose on the 1944- production of the joint Dramatics Clubs. The play, a mystery-comedy called 'iGhost Wanted by Guernsey Le Pelley, was directed by Miss Ella R. Robinson of the Girls' Academy and Mr. Lawrence H. Pike of our school. The cast included Joann Besch, Cherry Hockett, Lee Crandle, Alice Webber, Jean James, Marcia Hedberg, Geraldine Retanne fwho took Joan Mandlebaurrfs partj, Dick Bacon, Ed McDonald, George Ross, Bob Jamison, and Bruce Gobden. And it is now released for publication that Hil Greeley played the part of the monster! , The success of the play is proven by the fact that there was a record audience and a very enthusiastic one, that the clubs were able to give S100 to the Red Gross, and by the fact that there were so many favorable comments. President David Pike, Secretary Robert Jamison, and Treasurer Hildreth Greeley wish to thank Miss Robinson and Mr. Pike for their expert staging, the cast for its Hne cooperation, and the many production committees for their .efficiency in managing the technical details of the play. ' C4 50 57 VALEDTCTORY ODAY we are closing a chapter of our lives. With this exercise, our high school years are ended. Recent commencements, during the war years, have brought endings more abrupt, more Hnal than other commencements. After today, friend- ships which have lasted for many years will be temporarily interrupted, if not permanently broken off. This is drastic medicine at our age and is not softened by any immediate prospect of college years. But we must face our future like men, must this day become men. , ' How have we been prepared for our entrance into this 'high estate? The loving care of our parents laid the foundations on which our moral structures are built. They have given us needed confidence in early childhood, they have piloted us through the dangerous years of adolescence now so suddenly finished. Our teachers have helped us when urgent problems have arisen, they have been our good friends and valued counselors. f The trustees of the Academy have seen to it that t-he best equipment obtainable has been placed at our disposal, that our education might be the finest possible. 4 Our athletic coaches have taught us to play the game cleanly, fairly and with a fierce will to win, have taught us to take victory with modesty and defeats with our heads up and our backs stiff. For -this we thank them all. The preparation which they have given us will stand us in good stead. For as we leave the Academy, we go forth to take our part in the most gigantic war in the history of mankind. Unlike the last few graduating classes, we are fortunate in that we are entering a war that is half won. The triumph of our arms in Europe has once more gloriously blazoned the name of America across the pages of history. The Academy's part in that triumph lhas not been small. More than 600 alumni are now in service. Twenty-two have given their lives. X From liberation in the West, we shall sweep on t'o victory in the East. There is hard fighting ahead, fighting in which we may take part, but there is no doubt that we shall win, for the yellow tyrant can never stop the aroused might of the free peoples of the earth. Our particular responsibility, however, is an even greater one than winning the war. Our generation will determine the future of the world. We must help to guide our country in company with all other nations from the turbulent waters of war to the as yet unmapped channels of peace. To this end have our past preparations been dedicated, to this end must our future energies be directed. We must not betray those who have fallen, for if we fail, there may never be a third chance. Classmates: this is the last time that we shall stand before the school. Our close unit is now dissolved. To next year's Sixth Form we leave the leadership of the school, a responsibility which will call for t-heir best, but we are confident that they will succeed in it. For us the hour strikes, the trumpet calls.
