x education We, the Senior Class of I943 ,are going out after gradua- tion to face a much battered world. It is being torn by bombs and shell fire from both enemy and allied guns. Be- hind those guns, fighting side by side, are boys of every race, color, and creed. They are in places that we have never heard of before. In Bizerte, Karkov, and Buna they are risk- ing and giving their lives, They go on fighting for days without food or water and putting everything they have into this game called war, but do we hear them complaining? Certainly not. They have a job to do, and they are not going to give up until they have done that job. We, here at home, don't know what they are going through-we can't even imagine it. These boys are the manpower of the nation and are fighting so that their children and grandchildren will have a better place to live. They would go through anything to keep our nation alive and prospering. lt is to all of these Johnnys and Jimmies and Joes that we dedicate this book, the AQUILA of 1943.
