11) III I Superintendent Paul B. Jacobson The most important event during the year 1945-1946 was the winning of the war and the cessation of hostilities. But peace brings with it many difficult questions which must be solved. Full production and keeping in- ternational peace are illustrative of the prob- lems which must be solved if our war sacri- fices are not to have been made in vain. Boys and girls who continue to graduate are equipping themselves to assist in the so- lution of these and other problems. In addi- tion many of the students in the Davenport High School are getting valuable work ex- perience on a part-time job while continu- ing in school. Most of our graduates are equipping themselves for some vocation as a homemaker, a stenographer, a printer, a future college student, or a machinist. The community has provided generously in buildings and equipment; we are proud to know that you make good use of the oppor- tunities. Below: Mombors oi the School Board: soatcd. loft to right.

T It 1 T IIIH February 25. 1946 To the Class of 1946: It seems almost impossible to believe that you have so quickly completed your three years of senior high school work and that you are now standing upon the threshold ready for your exit as a graduate. In your high school days, you have felt the impact of a terrible war and you have experienced the joy which has come to many of your homes and to the nation because the shoot- ing has ceased. Treaties have been signed but much remains to be done to win the peace. You are to have a large share in bringing this to pass to the end that you and your posterity may live happily in your homes, your country, and with all men and nations of the world. As a class you have contributed your share to school activities and especially to the demands of your community and your country. Principal A. I. Naumann It is my hope that each of you may achieve your fondest dreams for success. I want to find in the daily task A durable sense of worthwhile work, No noted place in the sun I ask. Just the strength and will never to shirk. Sincerely your friend. Mr. A. I. Naumann. Princi- pal; Miss Ernestine Martin, office clork; Miss Birdino Steffen, attendance clork: and Mrs. Norm a Post, prin- cipal's socrotary. 11
