During those times, we all should work together moro than ever before. In this book, we are showing a cross section of American youth all working together toward ono goal. We all know that ultimately this goal will be reached, but until then many sacrifices will have to be made. Among the first from this school to mako those sacrifices will be the High Seniors, so some sped Photo by Knight attention has been given to this class in the following pages. We have invited three men, prominent in our lives to give us messages on how we students stand in relation to national and community affairs. Their messages should be read with much thought. From them we can learn how to conduct ourselves for the present and future.
