Dcdimfion Throughout our school career, we have derived many benefits from the various activities in which Miss Mildred G. Stoddard has had a most conspicuous part. A major activity in which she has participated has been the establishment of the Student Council. Under her guidance, the organization accomplished many impor- tant projects. She inaugurated the Safety Patrol and the Student Assembly. Her interest in community organizations, along with her parti- cipation in school projects and activities, has won for her not only the respect and admiration of the student body and faculty, but that of Bangor's populace as well. We, the Class of '44 hereby dedicate this issue of The Graduate to Miss Stoddard offering with it a deep and sincere gratitude for her services as our class adviser for the past two years. As our adviser for the past two years, Miss Stoddard has proved herself indispensable to the class as a whole. She has carried the cares and responsibilities of a large and active class. We realize that it was no simple task and are ever grateful to her for assuming it and accomplishing it so well. Her loyal support and cooperation in all our varied affairs, business or social, have been reassuring to us and deeply appreciated. We hope that in the future Miss Stod- dard may recall the Class of '44 with happy thoughts. Four

earners Caddy . . . Huzldcrs Z'om0rrz7W Our theme Learners Today - Builders Tomorrow embodies everything that we are confident we have been in the past and all we aspire to be in the future. It is a statement backed by assurance, knowledge and determination and, to our utmost ability, we are pledged to carry it out. The world into which we are entering is a strange, twisted world, one torn so badly that, at Hrst, the task of rebuilding it might seem impossible. But that task can be done and can be mastered if we try hard enough. Included in the we is not only our small graduating class but the millions of others who are graduating with us. It will require a vast amount of workers and each must play his part. That job is a big one, involving efficiency, completeness and TIME. It must be done slowly and thoroughly, starting at the bot- tom and working up. So we join the countless others in entering a portion of the bottom - our own hometown. It, like other towns, is a place for improvement. A more convenient place to start we could not Hnd. We first must devote our efforts in making it a better hometown-a better Bangor - a place to be envied by others: then we will be ready to work for higher goals until the final goal is reached, that of a peaceful, livable, well-balanced world. Equipped with ambition, we enter the world with a purpose. Equipped with education, we are ready to participate wisely in setting up an efficient government, prepared to carry out its wishes, and willing to render our services in remaking the world. We have studied and gained knowledge, we have grown and are fit, and now we wish to BUILDl!!l Thrrr
