,., yshew and THIS is a memory book for us, the Seniors, of our last year of high school. In it are our teachers, our friends, our organizations, and our sports. It represents our work and our play. For all of us senior high is a step toward the accomplishment of our goal. In our group arc represented most of the states of the union and a few foreign nations. We have been brought together by the world conflict. We have welded ourselves into one unit. May we, in the new world that is to come, go out with the ideas of friendship and understanding that will help us to point out the way to a permanent peace for the future.

In the hearts of each of us is a niche set aside for very special memories. Here we have reserved a space for one who will always remain dear to us, both as a teacher and as a friend. It is with a great deal of pride and affection that we dedicate the Compass to Miss Irma DkVault. We sincerely appreciate the many services, great and small, which she has rendered us. Her helpful advice made it possible to solve many of the inevitable problems of high school days. We approached her not as we would a bystander curiously examining our course, but as one honestly interested in our progress. A short conversation with her would prove her sincerity, her many kind acts would convince us of her spirit of cooperation. In her everyday habits of fairness and good sportsmanship we found an example to follow. Her unceasing aid and encouragement inspired us to attain greater goals. She tried to make us better citizens of the world.
