wma uirnmqwe como . ln the year l492 people, held by a superstitious ignorance, dared venture no further than the charted ways of man. An invisible wall of wild imaginings separated the known from the unknown and people shuddered at the thought of sailing that uncharted main. Then came Columbus with his dauntless courage and unbounded faith. With stan- dards set far and high he scaled the wall and set forth into unknown seas. But courage and perseverance won their reward and today the world honors the name of the Great Navigator. So it is with you, the members of the Class of 1943 and all alumni who are and will be in the Armed Services of our beloved country. You have reached the wall separating life's unknown and uncharted seas. Hitherto you have been guided by fond parents, wise teachers and good friends. Life has been made easy for you. But now life opens up for you with no chart but caution, no guide but conscience. It remains for you to set your standards so high and far that like the Great Navi- gator, you shall at the .end have done that which is greatest in life: Added something to the sum total of the world's security, happiness and knowledge. The l943 Anthem is dedicated to you as a beacon to cheer you along the unknown trail. ln it will be found a wealth of smiles and beau- tiful memories and perhaps just a few tears. Our hopes and prayers go with you. Only if you are willing to give, not only all that you are but also all that you can be, to the service of your fellow-man will you have any right to expect se- curity from society. lt is pure effrontery to ask God or your neighbors for your daily bread if you do not try to deserve ity for, we are taught, 'Unto whomsover much is given, of him shall much be required' O.

ENGLISH The Board of Education is the controlling factor behind the schools. ft is their undertaking to provide a sound basis for a progressive func- tioning system. Theirs is the responsibility of laying the foundation on which each individual student may advance toward a brighter future. Brentwood's three schools, Elroy, Moore and the High School, are the results of a fore- sighted planning. An administration and a faculty of high qualifications and standards are available to the students. The schools theme selves are well equipped with every modern convenience to further the education and cul' ture of their student bodies, This was the goal and now the completed work of the Board of Education. We, as Seniors, feel that we have been guided well and extend our appreciation for work well done. Three years ago in l94O Dr. O. H. English came to Brentwood to serve under this board as Superintendent of the Brentwood Schools. Dr. English came to replace Mr. l. D. Bodyston upon his retirement after many years of suc- cessful administration. Freeport's loss was Brentwood's gain, for Dr. English did not lose a moment in introducing new projects and plans to Brentwood. Under Dr. English's guidance the Brentwood l-ligh School applied for admission and was accepted into the Middle States Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Ad- Anihem-Page 6
