A.H.S. WHIRLWIND ANNUAL 7 E. A. Hudson Principal of Albany High School History Repeats Itself The 1918 issue of the Whirlwind Annual was dedicated to the Albany High Schoolboys who entered the first World War. This year we are again dedicating the Annual to our former students who are now in the service. Again, as in that war, the treacherous foes of Democracy have attacked the peace and liberty loving people of the earth and, again, our boys are being called upon to do their part in this war which is much more than the first World War. Again we are preparing a service flag for the students and the former students to represent those who will be serving in the important defense industries and those who are active on the battlefields and in our navy. There can never be any question as to the bravery or fighting ability of our students and former students, for our young people are typical of all Americans, and the whole world is well aware of the ability of our people when they are fighting for liberty and justice. There is one important thing, however, in this present war that our young folks should remember. Our goverment leaders are urging all high school students throughout the country to take every advantage of their high school opportunities and to be sure to complete their high school work in order that they may be as fully prepared as possible for the technical training that will come with enlistment, which should come after graduation. My appeal to high school students then would be-Utilize every minute and hour while in school in real, conscientious elfort and work and ever bear in mind that even though your asks now seem difficult that you are still having it many times easier than the boys who are the trenches and on the firing line. 61 JZ .kudsan I r ' T Ai .-
