01 CWOP' N the optimism and the energy so typical of youth lie the sen- timents of the youth of today as to the future. As the graduates of nineteen forty-five stand on the threshold of a world marked by chaos and destruction, they see ahead a faint and distant, but definite, possibility of a universal era as has never existed before. For themselves they see a more certain return to the normalcy of the American ideals and traditions-its freedom. its opportunity, its equality, its tolerance, its individualism, its dynamic life-and rapid advances in their perfection. Even from a more material standpoint, technology, medicine and science offer their promises of finer things to come. Youth is turning its thoughts to the future, and to a better future. It is appropriate therefore that this volume of The Alldvr- dice, has as its theme Looking Forward, as it sets down the record of Taylor Allderdice for nineteen forty-five. May this volume perpetuate the pleasant memories of the years past, and particularly of this last year of high school life. May it serve as a fitting souvenir of our many happy times together. But above all, may it do so in times that are some prac- tical realization of man's ultimate desire, a world of universal liberty and justice, contentment and happiness. and peace.
