We are just another senior class leaving the grounds of Dearborn High School. There will be other classes following us but we will not be forgotten. We have left behind us a book containing a record of all events of the past year. In future years each page will recall to mind faces and thoughts that have slowly slipped away. Because of war restrictions on various materials the annual of this year probably took more time in planning and anticipating than the other Pioneers to this date. The members of the senior class who have put forth their effort to produce the 1943 Pioneer will now be rewarded in the satisfaction and enjoyment of the following pages. $member the anxious waiting for the rtain to rise on the thrilling drama of » play season? Remember the formal dances with the victory corsages and gala decorations? Remember the informal initiations where proposals of marriage and chewing tobacco were a common sight? nember how by the last year you jy got to know your teachers and found were nice people after all? I ember the long hours you put in t those A's (?) on your report card? Remember the gray hairs you acquired worrying over the financial end of your yearbook? 3

 The Senior Class of '43 pre- sents the following pictures in the hope of prolonging pleasant memories of our class and fac- ulty. As you look at each pic- ture and chuckle, recalling each one's faults and peculiarities, keep a kind heart—be sure to remember their virtues, too. As you glance through the faculty's pictures, remember—it's the bite and not the bark that really counts. It is our hope that this Pioneer is a true picture of life at Dear- born High School. If you remem- ber the furrowed senior brows during the year, you know we tried. We hope we have suc- ceeded. d
