f f Lf wjwp' FUHEWUHII What is our theme to be this year? Yes, let's have something different. What is uppermost in the minds of students at Waite? Their many friends and relatives in the service, of course. It is inevitable that we choose a military theme and the decision is quickly made. Because we don't Want to show any partiality, we choose a soldier, a sailor, and a marine to carry out our theme. Their names are Tom, Dick, and Harry in respective order and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely accidental. You glimpse Tom, Dick, and Harry in several different stages of their tour through Waite High School. Our characters are home on furlough, and so We take them through the school introducing them to the people and places that are so familiar to them. We, the Editorial Staff, hope you like Tom, Dick, and Harry as much as We have enjoyed creating them for you.

llllllICA'I'l0 We dedicate this book to the American youth fighting on all the battle-fronts of the world-fighting because of the conviction that the standards and ideals of our nation are best. Thousands of them have gone into the services and thousands more are going, Every day they leave loved ones behind because it is their duty, because the sooner the world is rid of the menacing forces threatening to wipe out all freedom and justice the sooner they can return to their journey as Fate had planned it. They light in far-off lands, on the home-front, in the Arctics, in the tropics, never grumbling or complaining. They fight until every ounce of energy is gone grimly hoping that tomorrow will bring peace. Many of those tomorrows have come and gone, many more are yet to come. But some day the tomorrow we are waiting for will come and when it does, we, the ones who have been fighting the war on the home- front, will be waiting to welcome them home. Until the day of final victory does come, we all wish to congratulate our boys for the line job they are doing to bring this war to an end. We also want to wish them the best of luck for the dark days yet to come. Soon, however, those dark clouds will roll away and reveal a new and shining world-a world of freedom and peace made possible by the fighting American youth of today. Good luck to our young men for a speedy and permanent victory and a joyous home-coming.
