The World of Tomorrow! ln this crucial year of 1944 the students, now more than ever before, think and plan for a future that will bring into realization all the hopes and dreams of today. As the doors of Grove City High School close upon us for the last time, we must realize that on our shoulders rests the responsibility of fulfilling these dreams. Young as we are, the seriousness of this task is being brought before our eyes by see- ing our friends go off to war. See that boy in blue? A sailor now. Remember when he carried your books and shyly gave you your first kiss when you were twelve? lt doesn't seem possible that he has been on a des- troyer in the South Pacific. And Dick-re- member watching him when he played cen- ter on the basketball team? He looked as though he had grown to six feet of muscle over night and hadn't quite become used to it. Now he is wearing the uniform of a Mar- ine and even though he still looks like an overgrown kid, he has that look in his eyes that makes you glad you're not a Nazi or a lap. Many of the girls have gone to join in the fight for freedom. Ellen, whose clothes were the envy of every girl in high school, has deserted her unusual clothes for a plain uniform of khaki. ln our school life We are being reminded of the goal that is set for us in the future and are preparing ourselves to meet it. We can already see this goal, and once we reach it, we shall look back and see that each rung of the great ladder was developed and made stable by the teachers in our own school. We shall see where our mathematics, sci- ence, languages, and problems of demo- cracy made us stronger and firmer in our de- cisions. And how our social affairs and phy- sical education trained and developed our minds and bodies to complete our tasks more capably. Let us dedicate ourselves to follow our boys, those who have gone before and those who will go to blaze a path for freedom, jus- tice, and truth for the entire World of To- morrow.
