We Who Will Serve Today we are writing finis to a chapter in our lives, a memorable one, filled with learning. fun and experiences which prepared us to venture into the future. Its title is Simon Gratz. But what oi the next chapter? Its first pages we know. are filled with war,-war, death and destruction. but further on there is peace.-peace and a better world. It is ours only if we earn it. work for it, and if necessary die for it. Some who were to be with us today have already answered our country's call. We will fol- low. It is to ourselves. therefore. that we wish to dedicate this book-We Who Will Serve.

School Some people had a dream once,-long ago. Not a dream of riches and fame, but a dream of a school:-a place within which those who seek knowledge and truth could find it. Those pioneers of education probably never imagined to what enormous extents their dreams would be realized. They could not live to see the schools of today rising magnificently against the skies. Schools with not only the minimum requirements of teachers and classrooms, but with countless other facilities and workers. striving to produce an educated citizenry. Simon Gratz High School is only one of these schools, but it is our school, and we cannot help feeling that somehow it is the goal of those first educators. Simon Gratz-with a heart of learning that will live when all around her has crumbled into dust. Simon Gratz - our school. our friend. Who could have known so long ago that the schools of today would be producing the defenders of democracy? Who could have visualized the graduates of today going forth to serve their country in time of war? Who had that foresight- that understanding? We cannot say. We do not know for sure, but whoever they were: wherever they may be today, we are sure that they must be smiling and well satisfied with the fruits of their labors- with Simon Gratz High School. sw . . . . ,n.,--mf.-,: .
