Foreword In years to come this volume will become one of your most treasured keepsakes. Contained within it are your school days at East Technical. Pictures of your teachers and clossmotes. Memories of those glorious doys which are fast becoming the past. As this June and August class meet for the final time on their respective commencement nights, many a friendship will be severed. But some day about a half century from now when the ills of old age have set in and all we can do is sit by the fireside and read with a hot water bottle at our feet, we ll pick up this Annual. Then we'll begin to remember. That outograph. Why, he's the kid that I used to eat lunch with every day. Swell guy. And that picture. He was a card The life of the physics class. When things got too dull to consume any more knowledge, he could always be counted on to break the monotony. Even the teacher would lough. Sometimes. Ah! teachers. They were swell people. Well, at least some of them were. And os we continue to leaf through the pages we’ll begin to burn with a feeling of pride for the best damn school in the world. Amid those fond memories we'll be left to dream. IN APPRECIATION We of the Annual staff hove worked hard in preparing this volume.

Dedication As this class prepares to go out into the world it is not faced with the peace and security to which all men ore entitled, but instead, with sorrow and strife, effects of a cruel war. Why? Because of selfish thinking. The world need not be a theater of conflict if every man observed the golden rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A simple phrase, but i packs a lot of meaning. If each and every one of us gave just a little consideration to his neighbors, whether they be next door or across the ocean, it would be the beginning of a world worth living in. We are now faced with just that problem, that of making the world a better place in which to live. It is our problem. The only answer to it is a lasting peace The members of this class are pledged to give their best to achieve that worthy goal. For the sake of the Techites who have served on far-flung battle fronts and those loyal sons who have fallen on the field of honor, we must succeed. We must not let the same catastrophe strike our successors. Ours is not a simple task. It will require more than just good intentions. It demands much time and hard and serious thinking, but what does it matter if the desired results are obtained, if it will some day give a future generation the chance to lead a normal life free from fear. It is with all this in mind, and in memory of those who have given so much, the we dedicate this Annual to a just and lasting peace.
