Those who educate children are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living. — Aristotle. During this war the role of a teacher is greater than ever before. Students, especially needful of advice and help in the emergency, often are spared the difficulty, costly lessons of experience because of a teacher ' s friendly counsel.

To the Students Academy Puts On Its War Paint The Academe lliis year may become a land mark in the history of Academy High. Everybody will want to keep it because it will contain the pictures of many of our friends who will soon be in all parts of the world waging war against the Axis. Furthermore, it may be the last publication of its kind for a number of years. The signing of this year book will mean more than at any other time. Our friends will not only be leaving school but they will be going to the ends of the world to do their duty for the land they love. Each one of us should have some plan whereby we may be able to keep in the Academe a record of our classmates. This class of ' 43 will have a big percentage of its members in government services over the world. The future may find them permanently scattered carrying out our government plans whereby peace and prosperity may be the core of the whole world. It will be interesting when reunion days arrive to check up to see if I have predicted correctly. The class of ' 43 should organize now to have a committee at work recording the history of its valiant four hundred as they charge into the war for the benefit of mankind. J. W. RAY, Principal
