SCHOOL BOARD Ivirs. Pearson. lvfr. Nordquist. lvlr. Alvestad. Mr, Perlersoii. lvlr. Howe. lvfrs. Graham pai ' ' Meuaqe Seniors of FortyfFour: Congratulations on your fine high school record. I cannot help but commend each one of you on your decision to complete your high school education in spite of the demands of the last few years of war. You have stuck to your guns on the home front and have done as much as possible to prepare yourselves for some constructive contribution to our society. It is my sincere hope that your experif ences here at Gig Harbor High will not be just a memory, but that you have had a challenging experience here that has awake ened your conscience to the little things you can do toward a more wholesome and peaceful future. Goodfbyc and good luck. - GEoRoE R. GILBERT, Principal. Jfawe'4 Wfeuage To the Students of J fp ,K , A Gig Harbor High Schoolzlh i' Greetings: There are many things which I would like to say to you in a yearly message of this kind. I could bring your words of praise for past achievements or urge you toward greater eHorts for the future. I could give you a resume of last year's world events or try to open your vision of the future. But one thing seems to push all others to the background in this year of conflict. Every one of us must think in terms of war. We are told on good authority that every boy who is now enrolled in high school must expect to enter the service of his country upon graduation from high school if not before that time. Every girl upon graduation must expect to meet the challenge of loyalty and patriotism by training for or entering upon some useful pursuit. Why must we do this? Because we be' licve in the American Way of Life, and freedom must be fought for continually. We must face many sacrifices that a brighter future may be in store for all of us. Very sincerely yours, C. H. Howii, Superintendent.
