W ' ,ERE in Gettysburg and vi- cinity are buildings and ' m l ' memorials that give recog- nition to the fact that four score and five years ago school children of Get- tysburg and Adams County experi- enced War at iirst-hand. They knew well some of the build- ings that we are presenting in this book -they were also aware of the deeds of valor that prompted grateful sons and daughters to immortalize the deeds of their ancestors at sites where brave men fought and died to preserve this nation, VVe, too, have experienced life in a war torn world. Many of us were called upon time and again to use our ener- gies in supplying necessary materials for a nation that had sent many of its men and women into the armed serv- ices. Now all of us have been working toward a better foundation for peace and happiness. To give expression to our thinking, we have seen fit to combine photo- graphs with art. The photographs ex- press gratitude for memorials to com- memorate brave deeds. The art work typifies various phases of the life of a high school student.
