The Stay? Having Finally reached the end of our high school days, we, like all other previous senior classes, must leave. During these short four years, we all exper- ienced the joy and happiness that is inevitable in our association with teachers. classmates. and school activities. Dear Friends, Unfortunately, the usual happy memories of high school days were -marred by the advent of war. XYith the war came the need for lighting men. ln answer to their countryls call, many boys from Clinton left their homes. school and friends. Ainong our own classmates were: Chuck Toner. llugh Phillips, lack Fleming, Ronald lNlorehouse, Frank Blake, Albert Griffin, jim Marcellus and Ralph Guido. To these boys, who have given and are so courageously and unself- ishly giving their strength and energy during the best years of their lives, we wish to humbly express our deepest and most sincere gratitude. Let us hope that we shall be able to keep faith and show courage as we continue our journey in life, so that we may fulfill the duties and obligations that we are certain to encounter. Let us further hope that victory will soon bring world peace and once again happy family reunions. ,Xt this time l would like to express my gratitude to all those people who have in any way contributed to the success of the animal of 1945. Sincerely yours, Lois Rl. Dwyer. Editor-in-Chief.

Facult To the Members of the Class of 1945 Clinton Central School My dear young Friends: To you about to tinsh your high school years l extend mv congratulations and best wishes. You may be sure that in the years ahead we at the school shall follow you with benevolent interest. .Xs the survivors of a group three times your present number, you have persevered to the end and have arrived at the goal set for you thirteen years ago. This is no simple achievementg many have fallen by the waysideg your accomplishment augurs for you future success. You are about to enter the world of attairs more actively during one of the great revolutionary periods of history. The greatest war of all time is partly tin- ished and complete military victory is on the horizon. llowever. the danger of los- ing the real victory is very great. We have been told that we are lighting this war to destroy the universal enemy of manltind4Fascism and everything for which it stands. llo not be deceived. however: force alone cannot abolish and has not abolished the ideas upon which dictatorship is based. The forces of greed, hate and intolerance still stalk the earth and are rampant even in our own country. The battle for a decent world must go on and must be fought against those who would put their fellow men in bondage. 1 believe you people have been trained to carry on such a war, not with the sword but with the pen. word of mouth and good example. l urge you to play your part well. holding fast to the noble qualities of freedom, justice and tolerance with the hope the day may sometime come when we can be justly called civilized. Sincerely yours. Rlcnaian j. R.n.Pn l6hv
