Thz'rty- lwo CLASS OF 1946 WITH the passing of Foundefs Day and the beginning of a new year, members of the Freshmen Class emerge from the obscurity of under class activities to attain prominence on the campus. Your new position somewhat bewilders you, but donit give up striving, even for a moment. The more determinedly you meet your present problems, the easier these next three years will be. Be not content to follow the example of the Seniors, hut aim to do better. The Senior leaves school with a lump in his throat. Before leaving he likes to he sure that his successors will carry on with the same unselfish, determined spirit that enables DeVeaux to retain its rightful place among the Prep. schools of the Nation. This responsibility will lie with you soon. Now is the time to make yourselves worthy to carry on. This can he done by spending more time studying, and in extra-curricular activities. Extra time spent in this manner will be well rewarded in later life. But not all the stress should be put on school activities. At the beginning of this new era a change will take place within each member of the Freshman Class; he will begin to realize the importance of his responsibility and will become more mature. Truly the Freshman inherit a degree of prominence and they should strive to make it more pronounced.

CLASS OF 1945 THERE comes the time of year when some senior must write to one of the Classes under him. It is usually some form of advice which is generally read and then passed off without any more thought. However, we hope that you, the Class of 45, will heed these words. You are in the midst of the most constructive period of your lives. Here at school you must build foundations which will support you throughout lifeea task difficult in the times which are sure to follow this war. As the sophomore Class, you have begun to feel the responsibility forclasses under you. You will feel it even more next year, and, finally, in your senior year, the whole school will look to you for leadership. We, the seniors, have faith that you will do this job well. You are building your mental foundation now-with English, History, and Math, and probably your social foundations as well. Don,t forget to laugh, overcome obstacles, and make friends. But all this must be cemented with a spiritual foundation which, too, can be gained here. The opportunities to acquire these are what make DeVeaux outstanding. Realize that and profit.
