In a world blacked out by total war the happy high school day of the youth of America shines forth as an alluring beacon to a bewildered generation, the refuge before the inevitable storm, the vision of a joyful peace to follow. The faculty and students of Purcell have recognized the fact that the high school of today is a prelude to war, not war itself; and we consider our years at Purcell to be the best preparation for us to serve in a war7 the only legitimate cause of which is: the realization of a more perfect peace. Thus ttMemories for Mother is a yearbook of happy high school days, of days filled with prayer and study, work and play; and we have captured these memories in picture and in story. The horrors and heartaches of war were put aside as we endeavored to present a book representa- tive of the peace we knew at Purcell. However, despite the fact that we empha- size the pleasant rather than the grim angle of our years since December7 1941, we do not ignore the presence and immi- nence of war. Many of our classmates are already serving under the ttStars and Stripes, in active duty; and the immediate future of virtually the entire class of 1944 is known to us. Thus, the background of our picture, as presented in the theme, carries the thought of the future, when we shall be separated from our present surroundings, when we, like millions of other high school graduates, shall be en- gaged in the fight for Victory. During this period of separation from our parents, our home, our friends, we leave the happy legacy of high school ttMemorief to Mother that she may cherish these mem- ories till we come home to enjoy the peace for which we fight.
