To the Boys of 1943: You have now finished your course in this old and justly noted school. I congratulate you and rejoice with you in the sense of profound satisfaction that must be yours. But, as always in this life, the completion of one task leads but to more strenuous undertakings. Your lot is cast in a world caught in the throes of the might- iest conflict of modern times. In this troubled world you must play your part. Whether in war or in peace, you and your generation must decide the fate of human liberty for generations to come. I am confident that the graduates of this old school will not be found wanting in the present crisis. With every wish for your success and happiness, I am Sincerely yours.

W e, the eraduatinc sons of Latin School, offer, as our last official act. Liber Actorum 1943. It is our hope that it will please the School and its friends, to whom we owe so much. We have tried to keep from these pages the ugly finger of world trou- bles. For this is a record of our years together in school, and during these years we have had no weighty wor- ries or fears. We have tried to pic- ture those experiences that we should ourselves like longest to remember. The picture, if we have drawn it well, should be a happy one. Of the deeds ahead, those to be done in our country ' s service, there will perhaps be some day another Liber Actorum. We have grown up together, the 260-odd of us, from knickerbockers and Ritchie to young manhood. Here are our names and faces, and a thumbnail sketch of what each of us has done. Page Six
