: FROM THE VICE PRINCIPALSH Life is made up of meetings and separations. A delay of a minute on the stairs may pre- vent the formation of a life-long friendship, or may bring it about. Your departure from Mission may crack some attachments which were beginning to form, or lead immediately to others. So you should not grieve too much at being obliged to go: happiness is as likely to be elsewhere as heref' - JOSEPH B. NEWMAN, Vive-Pfincijml Dean of Boyr I say farewell to the graduates of this school year with a feeling of sadness, that so many friends will no longer be with us. y In a sense this is not true, because our graduates never quite sever the bond between them and Mission High School. It has been my experience and especially so during these years of war, that formerstudents keep in touch with the faculty, and with classmates, through visits, letters, and through the 'memories of happy years spent in an atmosphere, of friendliness and understandingl We hope that in the coming years that your place in an adult world will include interest- ing and useful work and that as mature men and women you will always treasure a sense of personal dignity and integrity of mind and soul.

PAGE TWENTY-TWO THE PRINCIPAIJS MESSAGE I.want to take this opportunity of congratulating the members of the graduating class of june 1945, on the successful completion of one of the most important chapters in their lives, and extend best wishes for continued success in the future. It is regretted that many numbers of the class are unable to be present for the gradua- tion ceremonies, because they have been called to the service of their country, but we are proud of the contribution they are making to the cause of humanity. T Although one phase of this world wide struggle to eliminate oppression, intolerance, ruthlessness and brutality has been completed, it may be a long time before the entire world is at peace again, and we must all continue to direct our energies toward final and conclusive victory. When victory is won, we must then put into peace endeavors the self sacrifice, deter- mination and cooperation that we have put into the war effort, if peace on earth is to be permanent in nature. The young men and women of Mission High School must be alive to this responsibility, and prepare themselves for intelligent participation in our government and in world affairs. This war is being fought and won by the high school students of yester- day, but the peace must be won by the high school students of today and tomorrow.

I .4 MISS LENA M. MORRILL Probably foremost in the minds of all Mission graduates will be the teachers with whom they have made friends. Every student has his or her favorite teachers. Maybe it was that tough year of English that she helped them through, or helping Joe Mission learn the necessary math to pass that Army test. Mission High's faculty is composed of people who are here to help the students, not to make it hard for them. PAGE TWBNTY-FOUR MISSION FACULTY AT WORK ADM NISTRATIO ' ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Louis G.
