DEDICATION---- Each boy demonstrated the great American spirit, to go onward in the face of great odds, making personal sacrifices that victory might be ours. It is with unusual pride, therefore, that we dedicate this annual to the winners of the 5AA District Championship . . . The Denison High School Yellow Jackets.

OUR We, the Yellow Jacket Staff, think it fitting and proper that this 1943 Victory Edition be dedicated to a group of boys typical of the American youth of today .... a hardworking group pulling toward one common goal .... Victory. The glory of success was not attained by any one member. Each put forth every ounce of his energy and strength and sacrifice, working together for the common good.

HIGH SCHOOLS GO TO WAR By GEORGE FURLOW Our country is engaged in the most terrible war in the history of the world. The training of civilians to act in Emergencies frees soldiers to fight at the front. The high school students have organized into a Victory Corps to work hard with such organizations as the Red Cross, Home Guard and the Office of Civilian Defense. The training is, of course, supervised by experienced instructors from home defense units as well as from the high school teachers who possess certificates of merit in defence work or who are skilled in some perticular subject or activitiy.
