i »rvVi Because our armed forces are fighting to pre- serve our democratic way of life, our freedom and our privileges, because they are unselfishly risking their lives to insure a true peace, based on justice and liberty, we feel that it is fitting to center the theme of the 1942 Reminiscence around West Point and Annapolis. We can well aspire to their principles, those of honor and dedication to duty. In the present crisis, we look to these academies to be our guides to victory.

E FIND it difficult to express our appreciation for the dedicatee whom we have chosen this year. Joining the faculty in 1937, he introduced several activities which have become traditions of Harrison High School — Senior Day, Better Speech Week, Maroon Murmurs, and the Annual Spelling Bee. Under his guidance both MAROON MURMURS and REMINISCENCE have received high ratings in national competition. Few of us realize the time and effort which he expended to train efficient jour- nalists so that these publications might maintain their high standards. His interest and support in every school activity is well known to all who worked with him. Every school organization could always rely on his sincere cooperation. Recently he enlisted in the United States Navy to do his part in the war effort. The class of 1942 wishes him success in the service of his country and a speedy return to Harrison High School. It is with pride and gratitude that we present our dedicatee. Wayne E. Pomfrey
