THE TOOT 1944 5 1944 Editorial Graduation from high school is the zenith of our lives to the present, but it is by no means the culmination of our education. It merely heralds the advent of higher learning and training to meet ever developing prob- lems of the future. However, no matter how high our academic standards may be. there is no course for us which attains the require- ments for perfect understanding. Neverthe- less, our intellectual and spiritual training gained in grade and high school prepare and furnish us with the tools to build our mind and morals for adult life. We know that obtaining knowledge is a life long task, and as long as we live we should strive to grow in perfection. At this time ad- vance training will be one of the requisites determining the possibility of a permanent peace in the post-war era. After the war many grave problems will be facing us as a nation. We, the new and coming citizens, will be called upon to manage the affairs of gov- ernment and to solve these problems. Only by a thorough knowledge of the function of the government and a complete understand- ing of the causes and details of the prob- lems can we squarely face the tasks, and work for a successful solution. We, in presenting this yearbook, have col- lected a fairly complete chronicle of our four prospering and fruitful years of high school. We, the class of '44, wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank both the Board of Educaion and the faculty for their unerring guidance and help. —ASA SMITH Editorial We are the future governing body of America and as citizens should learn to ac- cept the responsibilities of citizenship as well as its privileges. We are a nation of people of all walks of life living in a nation not created by super- men, but by free and independent actions of its individuals. Our government is not composed of men directly responsible to “master minds”, but a government created by a free and enlight- ened people. It is for this that many of our fellow class- mates have left to increase an already large honor roll. No army is stronger than its re- serves; our reserves are the millions of young men now in high school who will be trained for military service. And we on the home front should be alert to protect that for which we fight. —AUGUSTINE ALBANESE
