Here at Farragut the activities planned by the teachers and adminis- trative force only re-emphasize that American youth is free, Free to live and love and laugh and so face the world4a war World or post-war world unafraid. ln these pages of the Log we endeavor to show how closely our training, our work, and our entra- curricular activities develop the physical, intel- lectual and moral qualities required by the various divisions of our armed forces and how we are pre- paring ourselves to be the kind cf person needed in the present emergency and the kind of citizen America will need after the War. The lune class has selected as its colors steel and flame and as its motto SEEK VICTORY THROUGH 'THE STEEL OF REALITY AND THE FLAME OF IDEALS '. May We then work at our sports, studies, clubs, and, yes, our parties, to become more and more the type of citizens America wants--ready, where- ever we may be needed, eager to fan the flame that blends with the steel to weld an indestructible character for the foundation of a better and safer world of tomorrow. This year the Log is not dedicated to any one person or group but to all who have contributed to this purpose from the smallest freshman to the stateliest senior, the teachers and parents, and the boys and girls who have gone forth from Farragut and are fighting on all the battle fronts of the world while we hold the home front to preserve freedom for those who will come after us.
