FQREWQRD We, the senior class of 1940, do solemnly dedicate this book to the cause of peace. We consider this dedication most appropriate in this year that has seen so much death, carnage, and de- struction. The time has come when our childhood days are behind us. Now it is our time to be on our way. We must enter into the affairs of a strife-ridden world, and it is our duty to shoulder the burden of the battle. However, ours will be a new type of battle, a battle for peace. Therefore, we shall press ever on- ward, never retreating, never ceasing until the battle for world peace has been won. This shall not be an American peace nor yet an English, French, nor German peace? but a peace that shall be enjoyed and zealously guarded by every member of the great brotherhood of man. CLAUDE DUVALL, '40 Seve
