Dedication to Admiral Harold R. Stark Class of 1898 whose excellent character and keen in- terest as a student of the old Wilkes- Barre High School played an integral part in establishing the time-honored traditions of our school: and Whose en- viable record of achievement as an alumnus has been a deeply-felt influence in making us appreciate the opportuni- ties which We enjoy as Americans.

S. Naval Forces Operating in European Waters in 1942. V6

I believe it was old Rip used to say - Hwell, I won't count when we have our lapses, are prone this oneH, but our inner makeup is is recording it and registering it character and our future. Van Winkle who, in his drinking, this one.H In a measure we all, to say - Hwell, we won't count counting it and our entire fabric and chalking it up against our If I could leave a thought in the year book which I could hope would be a lasting one, it would be that it is today that counts and it was well expressed by William Dewitt Hyde who stated: WTO worry about tomorrow is to fail of devotion to the tasks of today and so to spoil both days.H
