A Forward For more than thirty years graduating classes have endeavored to publish an annual reflecting the activities and spirit of the stu- dent body. This year the staff has striven to carry on that tradition. We hope that in future years the student will find within these pages a true Mirror reflecting memories of high school years. In times like these, when nerves are heavily taxed, things of a lighter nature are priceless cures for overworked minds and bodies. The staff has attemped to make the 1945 Mirror one of those bright spots amid less agreeable instances of an extraordinary period. Instead of looking back longingly, or veiw- ing the present with alarm, let us move our ideals forward to times when the Mirror can once again be published on a permanent peacetime basis. So to this and every forthcoming grad- uating class with genuine, cherished pleasure this 1945 Mirror is proudly dedicated. V The Staff x .M W ,Q 'X
