Vi- ay In September, 1945, when we entered the portals of Technical High to commence our final year of high school life, the echoes and the joys brought by V-J Day were still resounding in our ears. The significance of V-J Day, which ended the most costly catastrophe in the history of humanity, will forever hold a place in our memories as that day when the chains of oppression were unshackled and when men could once again live free lives without the fear of slavery in their hearts. V-J Day has given a stern challenge to us-the youth of America- It is the duty of the Class of 1946 and of the graduating classes that will follow to do their part that the world will never again be forced to suffer an era of up- heaval. We must bend our every effort to the end that war will never again violate the peace of our shores. We must live according to the ideals of the heroes who died in our name on Iwo Jima. We must redeem the sacred pledge that we make when we offer our allegiance to our flag. Almighty God wills peace to all men. Let us be His instruments in helping, in our humble way, to bring peace to the entire world.

Q' lllilill U fri? is .9 It is altogether fitting that our class, the Class of 1946, pay tribute to the one hundred and nine members of Technical High School who have given their lives for their country in the Second World War. Yet we young students are almost inarticulate in finding words of gratitude and expressions of sorrow strong enough to show adequately our feelings toward these heroes. Never can an appreciation of a sacryfice as total as theirs be realized in words. They were chiefly young men, these one hundred and nine. Some of them are remembered as our friends and our class- mates. None of them shall ever be forgotten, nor shall their sacrdices be left unsung. These heroes died in order that we might live: in order that our American ideals may be the groundwork for the building of a better world, a world of liberty and brotherhood. It is to these immortal Technical High School men that we proudly dedicate the following pages, in memoriam. Nj! . . . . .: f it X 79 I N
