W'-3.7 . ..-A h, -- .,., S, , ,JN Sgr Ng DEDICATION We dedicate this book to you, And hope it will convey Our thanks for all we have received: Your tireless work from day to day, Your guidance strong and virtues true, That gave us faith to strive anew. Our hearts go up in humble prayer, That we were blessed so well. No poet's words can e'er express, Nor artist's pen can tell The sadness now that swells each heart That time has come when we must part. In future years, in times to come, When high school days we shall recall Our fondest thoughts will he of one Who gladly gave to us of all That he possessed . . . l And so we say Farewell- God speed you on your way.

W' F' M To the Glass of June, 1942: Everywhere about us, young men are going into training for military or naval service. Friends, relatives and acquaintances are volunteering or being inducted by the draft boards in ever- increasing numbers. They are going into danger, offering all they have-even their lives-for the things Americans hold dear. Here in school many are asking, What can we do to help? How can we make easier the work they have to do? Well, more than in anything else, we can pre- pare ourselves thoroughly to do the job which will come to us within a year or two, either in industry or in the service into which they are going. Ordinarily nearly fifty millions of people are industrially employed in peace-time jobs. Within a year or eighteen months that work will have to be done by something over twenty mil- lions. The others will be either in the armed forces or employed in work to support those who fight. Can you prepare yourself to carry the work of two? Do it as nearly as you can. If you can go on with your education, do so' If not, take the hardest job you can find and do it in the very best possible way. In the mean- time, Godspeed and good luck. x eg 7
