fmechcafion Because we have such courageous Americans who believe in all the things that America stands for so that they will make the supreme sacrifice to preserve America for posterity, we of the graduating class will go forward into the world to do our part to insure an ever- lasting, peaceful tomorrow. Our high school days were darkened by World War II which we saw begin just before we entered Dixon High School. We saw our families and friendsjoin the armed forces to strike down freedom's enemy, once and for all. Many of them paid with their lives for a cause they knew to be more important than they were as individuals. They didn't light Nip or Jerry because they hated them but because they didn't like what they would do to the America that we all love. We witnessed Pearl Harbor on that never-to-be-forgotten December 7, 1941, Bataan, D-Day, Wake, Battle of the Bulge, victorious V-E Day, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the discovery of the atomic bomb that caused the devastation of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and then finally that long awaited and memorable V-J Day. A hard war was fought and America and her allies were victorious. We now realize that there is a long, hard road ahead, but America has weathered many battles and has always been on the winning side. Therefore, we as young Americans will go forward with faith in the future of civilization and williwork toward the day when democracy will reach perfection and peace will rule the world. We, the graduating class of 1946, hereby dedicate this, the 1946 Yearbook, to the heroes who gave their lives in World War II.
