ADMINISTRATION ☆ ☆ ☆ Superintendent Paul B. Jacobsou. When the last Blackhawk was published our sol- diers had just landed in France. As this goes to press we are preparing to celebrate VE day in Europe. In due season victory in the Pacific will be ours. After that we must assure peace in the world. In addition each of us must produce so that individually we all can earn a good living. Boys and girls who attend school are learning to understand the problems which confront world citizens and are preparing themselves to earn a living. Some will do so by going to college and by entering the professions. Others will do so as a secretary in business, as a machinist in industry, or in some other honest operation. The boys and girls in Davenport are to be con- gratulated in that they have continued their educa- tions and have assisted in solving the manpower shortage in the Quad-Cities area. You are studying and getting ready. You will be ready to accept your places as citizens and as producers in the years which lie ahead. OAdC-lAa'-v , Superintendent.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ It has been a source of great honor and high privi- lege to have had the opportunity to work with and for the members of the 1945 graduating class. The past three years which you have spent in Davenport High School have been critical years in the history of the nations of the world. The future welfare of our beloved nation has stood at a crossroads not knowing what the final outcome might be for you as well as for your posterity. Now you begin to see a bright new star of hope for a lasting and just peace arising for all peoples and nations, although much pain and suffering may have yet to be endured. The high privilege of helping to mold a new world order will no doubt be given to you. May you em- brace every opportunity for such service to the end that such critical and chaotic world economic, politi- cal, and social conditions may never arise to harass mankind. May you help build a world order which shall bring peace and happiness for posterity every- where and always. Congratulations to each member of the 1945 D.H.S. graduating class. May you be granted health, strength, and opportunity to accomplish your fondest ambitions. Principal. Principal A. I. Naumann
