TO OUR READERS In submitting this year book the Senior Class of 1944, Ahoskie High School requests the kindly indulgence which a forgiving public usually accords to a first effort. Will you Be to our faults a little blind, Be to our virtues very kind. This request is made, not in an effort to apologize, for we have really tried to do our best, and no man can do more, neither can the angels. Ours are the faults of youth and inexperience and surely time, the old gypsy man will cure all such ills. We Seniors cherish the hope that with the publication of this year book we have set up a precedent which time will hallow in the years that are to come. We trust that ours have been the thrills and trials which come to those who blaze a trail in any field and that this year book may be a worthy monument to the pioneers who had the courage and the spirit to venture forth into territory hither-to unexplored. We should like, also, to express our sincere thanks to every person who has, in any way, helped to make possible the production of this year book. Without the loyal support and whole-hearted cooperation of many persons, not officially connected with our staff, ours would have been an impossible task. Although we cannot adequately express our appreciation, we want you to know that it is none the less heartfelt and sincere. 10 The 1944 War-Whoop
