You are proud of that star and that picture of your son. You write to that son often. You are fighting side by side with that son, and that kid brother by doing a good job on the production front. You saw Anna Sins today, and you were afraid you’d say the wrong thing. You nunbled, I'n terribly sorry.” You can't say nuch, but you are doing sonething better than saying nice words. You are angry that nen like Ton Bins should have to die and girls like Anna should have to suffer. You are buying war bonds. You men at home are working together, just as America's armed forces are fighting together, to win this war.' ffltOST They also serve who only stand and wait. —Milton You're the woman at home. You don't wear a uniform and you haven't a ti'tle. You're the woman who has learned how to do without help. You make the beds and wash the dishes and cook meatstretching stews. You care for your children. You scrub their ears, and you send them smiling to school. , You love your children, and you want them to be secure in a free America. You write happy letters to the soldier boys scattered around the world. You, your work, and your place in a country at war makes you one of the greatest reserves of strength in America today. You, and homes like yours, are what the boys, to whom this annual is dedicated, are fighting for! A. R. Henderson T.C.D. President of Board 13 years on Board Insurance C. E. Gregory N.T.S.T.C. Vice President 4 years on Board J. 0. Ashton Secretary 5 years on Board Merchant E. L. Connally Trinity University 8 years on Board Undertaker J. F. Jackson Meridian-State U. 6 years on Board Livestock Dealer E. E. Browder 4 years on Board Grocery Bruce Campbell 3 years on Board Lumber Co. John D. Richards Business Manager Groesbeck Ind. District Tax-Assesor-Collector My Dear Friends: Nothing binds men together or helps them understand and appreciate each other more than common experiences. That art or literature which never dies, describes experiences or expresses thoughts and feelings common to men. I am thinking of these lines written by Whittier: Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these, it might have been . Why do these words live? They express truth. Everyone knows the moaning of it might have been . We have all known the dismay, the heartache of some irretrievable loss that could have been prevented had we been wiser or quicker. Today the entire world is caught in a disaster because we were not wise or ready. ¥ M I salute you, members of the graduating class, and call you to the colors for an earnest life of service and work with your comrades. It has been a source of inspiration to all of us to see the whole-hearted enthusiasm that has characterized your efforts in paying tribute to the courage and faith of all the young men and women who have gone from Groesbeck High School to uphold the military might and democratic spirit of the United Nations in this global war. May you always be on the alert to find power to do, wisdom to understand, and strength to achieve. H. O. Whitehurst Superintendent Southwestern B. A. Miss Lucille Morton Principal S. M. U. M. A.

If any have been omitted it is because we were unable to secure the information. The Staff wanted pictures of all the boys, but we could not go out and get each individual picture and had to depend on parents and friends to bring them in. Below is a list of those whose pictures we do not have: Emmitt Baker Herman Burleson Munger Burney Curtis Ferguson Douglas Ferrill W. K. Hardeman Leroy Hart James P.
