1 W To the Seniors Of 19442 LK, 1 Although the Seniors of l944 have been tempted during the , ,Y last two years to leave their school work and enter industry or the armed forces, you have resisted that temptation. I want you to know that the school feels that you will be more valuable to your country and to yourself for having fin- ished the course you started four years ago. You will be well prepared to hold up your end of the serious conflict that is now going on in the world. I wish you all success in whatever you may undertake. I also wish to emphasize that if you will come to see us or to write to us you will find us willing to do everything in our power to assist you in any line of work or endeavor which you are trying to do. Wg GEORGE B. FRAZEE, IR. Principal. ll I These past four years, l in which you have learned to work and to play, have been l happy and profitable years for you and Davis Tech, My best F wishes go with the Class of 1944 as you leave high school to enter the armed or civilian services. I know you are proud to be a part of the great tradi- tion of service that is back of our school, and that you will strive to uphold the high ideals and standards maintained by our alumni. We are proud of you. We who remain here in school will work, direct, advise, and cooperate in all the undertakings of the students of Davis Tech, so that more young men and women will become loyal, working Americans. RUTH ANNE HOOD, Assistant Principal. 3
