Success was assured because they believed in the cause for which they worked. The student body which embarked on the venture of launching the first school annual also encountered trials and tribulations. Their efforts are also crowned with success. The curtain now rises on a new era which we hope will be one of peace and tranquility. Congratulations on bringing this venture to a successful conclusion. F. W. Ziegenhagen FREDERICK W. ZIEGENHAGEN

This wide and universal theater Presents more woeful pageants than the scene Wherein We play in. Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act II, Scene 7 More than 2500 graduates and former students of Boys' Tech have played a part on The Larger Stage of World War II, in distant lands, in alien climes, on desperate seas. Of these, 191 have made the supreme sacrifice in this woeful paqeant. From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the invasion of Okinawa in the Pacific theater, and from the invasion of North Africa to the victorious drive of our forces across Germany in the European theater, Boys' Tech alumni have been among the casualties. In memory of these, we devote a section of this first annual. And for the others, at least 2363 in number, we wish a quick and successful return from the theater of war to the stage of civilian life. At home, our students have also played a part in the drama of world war through the production of war ma- terials, stamp and bond sales, paper and metal drives, and in the training courses offered in our shops and classes. We now present, in The Larger Stage, some aspects of Boys' Tech's war par- ticipation.
