Forefword Although the upper Tenth Ward, from which this school draws its pupils, is little more than two decades old, it had its Hanford Landing on the Genesee and one of the mills which helped make Rochester the Flour City. It shares with all of the nation the heritage of American democracy, and it has its own blend of supposedly discordant and incompatible nationalities from the Old World. Significant as may beithe traditions in which the Tenth Ward finds its roots, however, the present is more than the sum of its historical elements. I t is in 1942 a community of 30,000 souls, mainly of British, Dutch, and German ancestry, with a dash of Italian. Few families are extremely rich, and few are desperately poor. Many gain their livelihood directly or indirectly from the manufacture of photographic and optical goods, produced with incredible purity and precision. The Tenth Ward of the now Flower City lives very much under the spell of Nature. Parks and tennis courts extend for more than a mile along the Genesee River, ?.II- .

The Tenth Ward lives close to Nature in a still more elemental sense than most densely populated urban areas. Fruit farms and market garden areas crowd in on the west and northwest, contributing many pupils to the high school and much busi- ness to merchants of the Tenth Ward. Hundreds of industrial workers live in new developments along Ridge Road West and the Big Ridge. The influences of Lake Ontario, a few miles north, are an important factor in the environment.

Churches are numerous and well supported in the Tenth Ward. Social activities and clubs of all kinds flourish. Political organizations are active. A community news- paper, the Tenth Ward Courier, fosters neighborhood unity. Mild, tolerant, sympathetic, and leisurely are the inhabitants of the Tenth Ward. Modesy is admired and aggressiveness discouraged. Formality-genial, friendly for- mality-is preferred, and conservatism is deeply rooted. The temperament of the Tenth Ward is a blend of Dutch solidity, German loyalty and patience, British mild- .s W ,K ,,,-.3W'f'.4qg . . .gf A .MW ' wg- y .siiffv 'Mfr '31 -1.1 I N' ,,.u ...H ' -Q viii-Wi 9 P ' .. , J- X ,-V t r 5'l'gI Ig' --' 'K Jrl ' , .X . ,H ,I ' . --ig . ,, 1 '51 , 'f' 1'1 A. -f ' r 1' - -- 1 ., Q, '- .....

Something of the flavor of Merrie Englande pervades the atmosphere. In John Marshall High School, perhaps more than in any other nerve center in the area, are concentrated the dreams, hopes, and resolves of the future. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts and the seniors particularly have their eyes fixed on the days ahead. What is our part in the fortunes of war, the achieve- ments of peace, and the continuation of democracy? they wondered as the months elapsed, and what is our part in that finer world which has been the elusive dream of the centuries? The future is supremely important. Yet, because it is to a large extent the pro- jection of past and present, the editors have found themselves this year embracing a broader perspective than ever before. It is stated in a proposition which underlies the planning of this book: THE PROMISE OF THE FUTURE GROWS OUT OF THE TRADITIONS OF THE PAST AND THE REALITIES OF THE PRESENT, BOTH CONSTRUCTIVE AND RECREATIONAL. It is the aim of the editors to provide a few colorful hints of the background as well as a portrayal of the present with its many implications for the future.
