Page 4 wid OZLGIQ ear . . . issue .of the Quiverian marks the thirty-ninth year of its existence. During that time it has been known as - - - The Jayhawker, The Pathfinder, The Spectator, The Periscope, The Rodeo, The Ace, and finally since 1921 The Quiverian. High school life at Wyandotte this year has been unusual in many ways. More than half of the senior boys will be accountable to Uncle Sam on or before graduation. Each school activity has been keyed to the war ef- fort. Stamp sales boomed, assemblies were either serious-dealing with some phase of the war-as Madame Barzin's talk on the Belgian underground, or quite the opposite-seeking relief from the thoughts of unpleasant reali- ties-as the Horizon Club's Cavalcade of Corn. Through the efforts of the Faculty, Parent- Teachers' Association, and the Student Cab- inet the student body has been brought clos- er together. After-the-game mixers with music by the Swingmasters proved a hit with every Wyandotter-from the uncertain fresh- man to the lordly senior. Crowning the Leap King, at the Backward Party after the last home basketball game, was something new for W. H. S. As you look through your Quiverian, paus- ing now and then to remember some special little incident, we hope you will be pleased with what you see. lf the eighteen hundred enioy our annual, as much as the eighteen who worked on it our goal will have been attained. fr' l E L.

M wi., l LIEUTENANT CHARLES O. JORDAN Died January 15, 1944 Service in the present national emergency could be roughly divided into three parts. Foremost in this classification stand those who, like Lieutenant Charles O. Jordan, have given their lives to the cause. At the time this is being written approxi- mately 32 others from Wyandotte have made the supreme sacrifice. They, of course, represent the ultimate in bravery and sacrifice. A second group who serve are the hundreds of boys and girls now in the armed forces. We sincerely hope that they will return to their families and friends but we are absolutely certain that they are willing to serve to the death, should that become necessary. The third group includes all of us on the home front who may be serving differently but nevertheless sincerely and earnestly striving to promote the great war effort. Now in whatever way we serve, the same devo- tion to country and duty is characteristic. I have Page 6 a feeling that the ideals engendered here at school have a great deal to do with the success of our service and whether or not we really achieve the desired results. If so, we are proud, if so, we are humble. It's a serious matter when we consider that such a large percentage of the student body of this great school are engaged in hazardous service to our country in an effort to sustain and uphold the freedom we love. Those who have sacrificed and may yet sacrifice all, we shall hold in fond memory. To those still permitted to fight on, we offer our congratulations and our support through our prayers. Those of us fighting on the home front will bear with equal fortitude any hard- ship we may be called upon to endure and any sacrifice we may be asked to make. Thus, may we serve sincerely, courageously, and honorably the country we all love. Principal J. Fletcher Wellemeyer
