HUNTINGTONIAN STAFF More pleasant and joyous than any other experience of our high school days has been that of editing our Yearbook. The task has not been easy but by a combination of zeal, enthusiasm, and talent on the part of the staff, we know the thrills which accompany a job well done.

-410 The Principals Message My Dear Young Friends: You are leaving high school to enter a world the like of which has never been known before. The awful specter of war spreads its grim shadow over the entire globe, and whether we are on the battle front or the home front we cannot escape active participation in this titanic conflict. The condition of our times will seriously affect your future. Boys who had planned college carcers must postpone further training for army service. «Many of the girls whose parents have carefully planned their college education will find themselves in offices and factories because of the shortage of manpower. Americans of all races, creeds, and national origin must join hands in this supreme effort to crush the evil forces of oppression and bring victory to our cause so that democracy shall not perish from the earth. You who have spent four years at Huntington High School are better schooled in the ways of democracy than most high school graduates of your race. You know full well that democracy in its practical operation in this country is far from perfection. This is especially true in its application to persons of your race and mine. Your experiences in this school, however, have proved to you that democracy is a practical and satisfying way of life. You have been made to see that if democracy can function in a school community; if we can live together here in peace and cooperation with mutual respect and regard for each other’s rights and privileges; if we can share decisions and responsibilities in our school community, there is hope that these elements of democracy can be made to work in the larger communities of the city, the state, and the nation. Ås you go forth, then, to do your bit in the Army, the Navy, the office, the factory, or to further training, remember always that it is your patriotic duty not only to fight for the preservation of democracy in the world, but also to do everything in your power to improve its operation in our country to the end that all men of whatever race, creed or color may share its blessings alike.
