icafi01zT.,T...,.-,E SHORT time ago they were with us-our brothers and our friends, our classmates and our Sweethearts. We admired the ruggedness of their characters, laughed at their funny stories, and forgave their misdeeds. We worked and played with them, shared their loyalty and devotion, and together worshiped the same God. When the call came for them to defend the liberties we hold so dear, they left our homes and churches, our classrooms and playgrounds. They left our oflices and stores and factories. And then, after long months of arduous training, they faced the enemy for us. ln strange and far distant places, whether on land or sea, or guiding their eager craft thru footless halls of air, they did not fail us. It has been theirs to serve so that we, and all peoples everywhere, might in the years to come live in a world unvexed by war and governed by the Prince of Peace. Many former members of our student body have, in the years since Pearl Harbor, given their all in the service of their country. Once Dawn was theirs, And sunset, and the colors of the earth . . , All this is ended. It is to the memory of these men, therefore, who in accordance with their high ideals of loyalty and service have made the supreme sacrifice, that we humbly and lovingly dedicate this book. -is Q. , , ,if it Mime lf? 55 J V if If fe af if J fffw' 154.534 ., fs?

Kvnssvcli ,flflemrfrirzl Serzfiw HE opening of school on Friday, April 13, 1945, was marked by an unusual spirit of quiet- ness. As the students entered the building that morning, their serious faces and muted voices gave evidence of the sorrow felt by everyone at the sudden and untimely death of our great and beloved President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which had oeeurred the afternoon before at the ULittle Wlhite House in VVarm Springs, Georgia. ln an impressive eeremony held on the front campus, the students and faculty of Senior High paid tribute to the life and memory of the man who, as President, had so courageously led his na- tio11 both in peace and in War toward the fulfilment of his dream for America - that we should continue to be Hstrong brothers in Gods family of mankind.
