They represent a short history of the school’s activities and when read in after years, bring back many happy memories. The first year book was published in 1908.

GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1944 The loss of wealth isl the loss of dirt As sages in all times assert The happy man’s without a shirt. —John Ileywood, about 1565 This is the poet s way of saying that happiness does not depend upon wealth or position but upon one’s self. Life will offer you a succession of choices. Every day you will have opportunities to choose the highest and best or that which is not so high nor so good. Your lives will he just what you choose to make them. ou are unfortunate to be Youth at a time when the world is passing through a great revolution. Nations are at war. The channels of communication are filled with propaganda. Prejudice, mistrust and hate are the order of the day. You have little chance to live normal lives as Youth and thus lay the foundations for happy adult lives. Later you will perhaps be referred to as “The Lost Generation of Youth”. Do not, however, lose courage in the face of the destructive forces rampant today, dramatic though they he, but cling steadfastly to the things that are “just and true and righteous altogether”. Keep an open mind. Do not he misled by propaganda. Find out the truth before making decisions and taking action. Trust people. Cultivate a feeling of good will toward everybody. Constantly seek opportunities to help others who are less fortunate than you are, and you will find happiness in life. I congratulate you upon the progress you have already made in wholesome living, upon the successful completion of the high school course and upon the rich opportunities for service that lie ahead of you. Sincerely, Norman Koontz
