14.8 Dear Fellow Students: At this time, as you all know, we are facing a period of national emerg- ency. Perhaps some of us it will affect later, directly or indirectly. At this very minute, perhaps many boys are thinking of the time that they too, will be a part of the great armed forces of our country. Some boys in the school have already enlisted, and are now doing their share in helping to protect us. Even though some of us will not be able to help to defeat the enemy in a military way, we can all do our part. We can aid in Red Cross work. We can join the U. S. 0. We can help by making the little sacrifices that we are 'asked to make gladly and without grumbling. And of course, all of us are able to buy war stamps, and perhaps even a bond. For each of us, it is only a small part, but if everyone cooperates, it will add up to something big. In this yearbook We want to show just how our own high school fits into this national programg perhaps in ways that some people never dreamed pos- sible. So, fellow students, let us all be glad and thankful that we live in Ameri- ca, a country where we are all called upon to do our part, andvwhere we can still think, speak, and act as we please. Here 's to bigger and better national defense. May We all 'tkeep our ehins up, keep smiling, and keep them flying ll' Sincerely, t W Sie!! Six
