BROWN ' The 1941 class is graduating during an era in American history which is unlike any preceding era. Although We are not at war, We are drafting men into the service. Even though We remain out of war, there will be many problems to be solved in our own country after the War is over. Thousands of men in service now will return to peace-time conditions. They will be looking for jobs. Our economic structure will be strained. It is time now for all of us to be studying the best means of solving these eco- nomic problems. The boys and girls of the 1941 class Will encounter these problems. May the training which you have received in your High School be of great value to you when the post-War problems arise.

- 1 One cannot think about welfare of high school youth today without in- cluding consideration of the influ- ences of the war which has engulfed the Eastern Hemisphere and now threatens to extend to this nation. J Already America is preparing to de- fend herself against old world des- potism. One million young men are now in military training. Others are preparing for work essential to national defense. Volunteers who are not eligible for these classes of work are being organized for other services. W. M. RICHARDS The situation calls for sacrifice and heroic action. We are learning anew that God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always willing to protect and defend it. Just how great the cost of such defense will be no one knows. It seems certain that it will be great enough that everyone, both old and young, will have a part. The success or failure of America will depend to a great extent upon how well the churches and schools have developed the moral and spiritual preparedness of the people to face unflinchingly the difficulties which lie ahead. To these institutions will be due the credit or the blame for Ameru ica's action in this emergency. May they renew and redouble their efforts for a stronger and better America. W. M.

Faculty meetings were held frequently at the call of Principal Mr. Rice E. Brown. The Scholastic Honor Society committee was headed by Miss May Hancock. The Student Council was more active this year. The sponsors were Principal Rice E. Brown, Miss Dorothy Hamer, dean of girls, and the chairmen of the sponsors of three classes. Miss Hamer acts as girls' representative on the administrative staff of the school. q Mr. Hugh Brogan, assistant principal, aids in sponsoring many school projects. The school would have a hard time carrying on without these two members of the fac- ulty. MISS DOROTHY HAMER Dram of Girls flfl 1
