NCE again the Seniors will be ushered out of the halls of G. C. H. S. into the world which every graduation speaker declares will be dark and uncertain, and into these same halls will be heard the green but earnest voices of the new Freshmen who are starting to train themselves for World citizenry. This time the Seniors will not leave with the idea of fulfilling their own ambitions and hopes, but instead will go out into the world to perform the tasks that the war has necessitated. Each one of us is Willing to accept this duty knowing that it is for the betterment of generations to come. Will the World, that we are preparing to meet, be a world of the mar- vels of aviation and science? If this is so, we have been preparing our- selves to meet this challenge through our classes in mathematics, aero- nautics, science, and physical education. Our training in the languages and the problems of democracy has trained us to cope with problems of international affairs. As the Seniors depart, their places and responsibilities will be accepted by the underclassmen, who will have observed and profited by the experiences of their senior classmates. The Pine Knot - 18

We all remember Iames McMillin, who left our midst September 30, 1943.
