Cfariri glcfilforiaf VVe, the Class of 1946, are the first peacetime graduates to leave Chartiers High. VVith some feeling of fear we enter a world burdened with a desperate anxiety concerning the maintenance of peace. Our elders have paid a bitter price to bring about this peace, as the citizens of tomorrow, it will be our task to work unceasingly toward one goal-the preservation of that peace. Ours is now the heaviest responsibility as well as the greatest opportunity ever to rest upon the youth of any land in any age. YVe, with the other youth of our nation, must strive toward cooperation with our sister nations and understanding of domestic unrest. Racial intolerance and religious bigotry cannot thrive where the1'e is a genuine desire for peace. This is our opportunity, we do not dare to fail. Symbolic of our postwar era is the atom. Much of our thinking has been geared to that very minute particle of matter from which came forth such amazing power. Likening our school to the atom, we might consider its many component parts The faculty, the social organizations, the sports departments are all integral parts of the whole. Each has done a splendid job in its own orbit, likewise each has contributed to making our school a smoothly organized unit. In compiling this yearbook we seniors have not tried to give those classes who will follow us a picture of a perfect high school. It has been our aim to con- tribute in a spiritual and material way to the development of an ideal high school. Our errors and failures should serve as a challenge to our successors. With an understanding of the past, a faith in the present and hope for the future, we pre- sent for you our yearbook. WMM MMM Editor-in-Chief Charconge -- 3
