This is Worth Fighting For Yet, typical of Americas high school students, we have clung to traditions, and because of this, the 1944 TOKA has been published. It is part of our way of life; in its humble way, the TOKA is one of the things for which we are fighting. AMERICAN WATCHWORDS was chosen the theme because, though deeds are often forgotten, there are some inspiring words that will live for eternity. Treat it with re?pea because, like our freedom, the TOKA is something that Hitler or Tojo can not take from us.

And there were men at Wake Island, outnumbered many times, sweating . . . bleeding . . . dying . . . Their voices rose to a tremendous, resonant turbulence: Send us more Japs! they cried, for they knew they were right, and they remembered what the Virginia Legislator and the man at Gettysburg and all the rest had said.
