DEDICATI . . . - When war came to the United States in December of last year it found many young men from Clifford Scott High School and similar schools already in uniform prepared to protect the United States, her institutions and people from whatever force might attack her. A look at the service list in Room 108 readily shows that after Pearl Harbor many more boys, both graduates and underclassmen, became representatives of our school in services ranging from the paratroops to the infantry. These boys who have so quickly become men are now especially important to us because they are not just pictures in magazine advertisements or movie heroes but they are boys whom we just recently saw playing in Ashland Stadium and drinking cokes down at the corner. They are boys who have been our own friends and moreover boys who are wearing the uniforms which many of us will be wearing soon. They are more than that, however, they are the representatives of a demo- cratic educational system which trains its pupils not only for healthy strong fighters but also for intelligent citizens who can keep peace as well as enforce it. When these pilots are flying across Japan and when these soldiers are advancing on Berlin they will have more to keep them going than the blind hate which would have been their food in a Nazi school. They will have the knowledge that their work is not for the satisfaction of a leader but for the peace and happiness of America, themselves, and all the world. It is here that painful hours of P.A.D. and English essays will come out side by side with the last fifteen yards of the mile event and the individualistic activities of the clubs It is upon viewing these things from which our real confidence in victory comes, that this, the last wartime volume of the TARTAN is dedicated to the graduates of Clijord J. Scott High School who have gone off to fight, and to the ideal of peace for which they are fighting. 15 'K Scif: ..... f I ! -1: ,, 'gn -1, N' -'xgzgg ees,s 1 I' x'llIl f f1 ' 1 G wefk1'11'11vL1nH'W?
