Honor Roll Valedictory We seniors can now look back on almost four years of high school. It is hard for us to leave school, because it's been our whole life for four years-the most important years of our life. It's hard to leave because the future is so uncertain. But in facing the difficulties ahead of us, we shall all be grateful for the experiences, the help, and the friendships of our high school days. JOY BOWDEN. Bean, Clara Bausch, Grace Benjamin, Aleva Berg, Sig Bowden, Joy Bridges, Betty Bruce, Anita Buley, Joe Fall, Lucy Belle Hanmierstrom, Elaine Hanley, Peg Salutatory We, the class of '44, have just met a deadline. There are many in our lives, each deadline rep- resenting a step on the ladder to the stars. Our new deadline which confronts all young Americans is a postwar world with freedom, equality and jus- tice for all persons. We will meet this deadline with all the faith and determination we have displayed in the past. This new deadline can, must and will be met. LORNA RICHARDSON.
