WILLIAM L. FINK Vice Principal Our little party was traveling to the summit of Pike's Peak. At a turn in the road, We paused be- side a yucca bush to survey the spacious skies, the amber grain, and the majestic mountains about which Katharine Lee Bates had sung. These We too admired, but We Were equally impressed by the Winding, ribbon-like roads that had carried us through valley and over hill to our present point of vantage. Truly, the panorama Was pleastng. Members of the Class of l943, you are Wise to have recorded in this book events that character- ized your school life during a period destined to be significant in our country's history. When, in the future, you stand upon a pinnacle of the years, may this record help you to look back in pleas- ant retrospect to the days you spent here at the Castle, But keep climbing! May there be for each one of you pleasant prospects ahead. FLORENCE B. BEITENMAN Vice Principal My hope for the class of 1943 is this: That, from your study of the past and the present, you have grasped firmly the thought that certain fine things are permanent in this tough old World. You are born into a tremendous period. Whether you Wish it or not, you must live up to the very limit of your powers. lt is not always a comfortable nor a happy situation, but it is a necessary one-this piece of life at its highest pitch. What endures now through all the mess created by power-hungry leaders? The same things that endured through the conquests of Alexander, Caesar, Tamerlane, Napoleon - friendship, family ties, .love of beauty, persistence, pleasure in honest labor, courage, daring. Material things may disappearg nothing can take from the human spirit the qualities, the tastes, the appreciation that make life Worth living. Z2

EISENI-IAUER Only a short time ago the Arxalrna used as its theme a glori- fication of roads, with special reference to the roads from the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate. We Wrote then about the freedom enjoyed as We traveled across our beloved land, and of the beauty of the scenery. Today We are concerned with the problem of maintaining that freedom and that beauty. lt is Well, therefore, that you should make your contribution a record of our school in the year of your graduation. You will no doubt Want to remember the emphasis being placed upon the adaptation of the curriculum to the prepara- tion of boys for possible service in the armed forces of our country. And you, girls, for the maintenance of a high morale on the home front. As for us, We shall be most happy as We see you progress in the years that lie ahead.
