THEME This year We Seniors wish to express our deepest admiration for all former graduates and a faculty member of Athens High School who arc in the armed services—Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Corps, and Marines. In our high school they received their basic training which has prepared them so well for the gigantic task in which each of them is playing such a vital part. They have entered this grave afTair with heart and soul and with only one definite aim — victory for all of us. They will do anything to obtain this goal, even to making the supreme sacrifice of their lives as Bernard Hughes and Loren Beardsley have done already. On the following page are some snapshots of graduates who were in the Service at the time of the publishing of this annual. No doubt in another year many from this Senior class of 1942 will have taken their places in this struggle to continue our American way of life. All our hopes go with them and may God protect them in the dark days ahead. We salute them and to them we dedicate this annual. BERNARD L. HUGHES 1922-1941 LOREN BEARDSLEY 1918-1941
