Board of Education REV. C. K. SMITH President GLEN ELDER JAMES SANDERS ELMO SNOOK RALPH WEAVER We are very proud of you Seniors, members of the class of 1943. Your achievements are commendable indeed at this particular period when our spiritual, physical, and economic existence is threatened. The very best in young manhood and young womanhood is demanded. The training which you have received and the lessons you have learned in the homes of our community and at G.H.S. are the foundation stones upon which sound principles and character are built. This includes firm religious convictions, mental and physical morality, and a loyalty and patriotism which holds most sacred the blessings of liberty and freedom. Our best wishes will ever follow you. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Rev. C. E. Smith, President Pape Four

DeLAND 15.Ed., M.A. Illinois State Normal University University of Illinois American Government Economics Health and Physical Education Student Council Radio Code Class Experience is a precious gift, only given a man when his hair is gone.” TO THE SENIORS OE ’43: As if in answer to your country’s call for trained manpower you approach graduation as the largest class in the history of your school. While it has fallen my lot to admonish you frequently to understand and prepare for the unusual responsibility that is about to fall upon you, your response to the need of the hour has been gratifying and reassuring. Some of your members have thought it best to find places in our nation’s fighting forces rather than to complete their high school training. We must try to give them the honor, the recognition and the support they deserve. They are offering all they have. During the last year and a half you have grown considerably in the qualities of patriotism, loyalty and sincerity. You have improved in earnestness and in devotion to your work. Far beyond usual expectations, you are preparing yourselves to your utmost rather than merely trying to qualify for graduation. You are realizing that you have a task to perform and you are getting ready to do it. Those who at times tend to view the future with grave doubt and misgiving should receive reassurance when they have occasion to experience the seriousness of purpose of you young citizens and your zeal for our cherished institutions.
