Fo reword Wings, appearing on the cover, represent our flight to victory. This victory can and will be obtained through the cooperation of the soldier and civilian efforts. Throughout the pages of this book, we wish to bring to you this theme: Wings Over America. Through the idea of wings, we are reminded of the untiring effort of the men, women, and chil- dren of today who are doing so much to boost our morale and lead us onward to safety. Each person is doing his part either by giving his son or daughter to serve in the armed forces of our country: by giving his own services work- ing in defense factories or doing Red Cross work: or by lending his money in buying War stamps and bonds. We begin our flight with a happy take-off through four years of studious but yet enjoyable work. While looking through the book, you will find pages devoted to services rendered, club activities, and patriotic performances. These tasks were sincerely appreciated and will be fondly remembered when recollected in the future. The complete summary of our idea has been so beautifully expressed in our own Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident-that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life. Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. It is the sincere wish of the staff of 1943 that the Ripper with Wings Over America will speed your valuable and pleasant hours until the day of Victory.
