FOREWORD YESTERDAYS, todays, tomorrows-They have been legion in man's history, of them he will live more, countless more. They weave through the substance of his memory, at once, tender and compelling, sorrowful and happy, less, more significant. They are the fabric that pinion his experi- ence, enhance his resources, strengthen his resolve, pillar his courage, envelop his being. In them and of them is his life. Thcy are his life,' free or fettered, rich or injirm, according as he patterns them. Yet while man might be master of his fate, through the warp of his nobler designs, snags the baser purpose of baser men or ill-chanced circumstance. To the student of Hilo High school, no less than to other freedom loving people, has come the nub of the intruder. Since Pearl Harbor, many innovations and restrictions have knotted themselves into the mosaic of campus events and traditions. The carefree todays that belong to youth have been prematurely pushed against mellowed yesterdays, and a precocious challenge catapults the student into adulthood, and charges him to pledge for a great, a greater tomorrow. He realizes that sometimes what he would preserve, he must forego, temporarily. It was in that spirit that the Hilo High school student body relinquished many of its privileges and prerogativesg interscholastic athletics, evening socials, the Blue and Gold this year. This volume of the Senior Album, trim-down edition of the annual, attempts in a meager manner, to record for the campus, however sketchily, yesterday's traditions, todayis new challenges, and more immediate student response to the building of a tomorrow of dynamic productivity, a tomorrow that dignifies manly fellowship and godly love, a tomorrow of insuperable intent and unencompassable horizon, a tomor- row when men stand straight and walk free.

PRlNClPAL'S ALOHA As Seniors, returning to school last September, you accepted a real challenge. It was one which was very dijjficult to face. Many of you left jobs which paid a good salary. Besides the salary you were gaining the satisfaction of being a vital part of the great all-out war pro- gram. Many questioned your judgment in giving all this up to return to school. Most of you have met this challenge in a most exemplary manner. You have shown the most skepti- cal, that you had a purpose in making this choice. In most cases we have been proud of your accomplishments. Some have fallen by the way, it is true,' some have gone into other work, some are now in the Army. Whereever you are and whatever you do we hope that you will have gained much from your acceptance of the great challenge. As you leave us may you carry with you the best wishes for your continued success. ELVIS B. RHOADS
