A, wt., f 'f '?1?'5'7 ','TV'? PRlNCIPAL'S MESSAGE DEAR AUTOBIOGRAPHY: Supposing you were to sit down this afternoon and write your autobiography, what would you be willing to put into print for all people to see and read? Would your manners, morals, habits, abilities, influences, and friends be such that the story of your life would be an inspiration to others? Would your autobiography become a best seller, or would it be distributed only in the form of complimentary copies, given away by the writer? 0 The world moves forward through the efforts of the individual. No school, city, state, or nation progresses unless the individual progresses first. lf you were to write an autobiography this afternoon, would you be proud of the things which you have done-proud enough to tell about them? Would you be proud of the things you have said-proud enough to say them again in writing? Would you be proud of the friends whom you have chosen-proud enough to write about them? Shall you start writing this story this afternoon? Or-would it be better to wait awhile until you have something worthwhile to say? You, and only you, have the answer! Elwin LeTendre, Principal.

DEDICATION Lest we forget-as some of us have already forgotten that many Berkeley High School students playedtheir full part in the ter- rible war which ended less than a year,ago-this dedication is written. Those students of a few years past had a good time at Berkeley High. They did all the things we do now. They went out for the teams, they were A.S.B.H.S. prexies, Jacket editors, and partici- pated in all the other activities around school-just as we are now doing. As this year's Senior Class regrets leaving, so did they. Their task was far greater than ours. They went out to wage a war. We enter a world, troubled, but at peace. They did their job. We must do ours- be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have thus far so nobly advanced. During the war we were all aware of the sacrifices made by the many former Berkeley High School students. Let us hope we shall never forget their heroic service to mankind. They would have agreed that a fitting tribute to them would be the dedication of this Pod-so much a symbol of the best time in all our lives-School Days. The Senior Class and the Pod Staff join together to dedicate this Pod to former students of Berkeley High School who served their country in its greatest time of need. 1 20 7500+
