PYALLS, IDAHO ,. . X I X Dr. Ray M. Berry MESSAGE This book, which has been dedicated to our former students who are now serving their country in all parts of the world, might have been just as fittingly dedicated to those who are still in the classroom, for we have made a record this year of which we may all well be proud ln spite of many interruptions, we have maintained our scholastic standards and have even exceeded other years in this respect. ln addition we have purchased more stamps and bonds than any other high school in the state. We saved the potato crop in this valley, and we have participated wholeheartedlv in all salvage campaigns and other worthy community enterprises. Nineteen forty-four has been .1 vear of work and preparation for the harder task that lies ahead. lt is a vear which we will never forget. Mrs. Chloe Paclvcr Nlartin l Dr. Berx'y's Set'retz11'y

WAS llMl EMS ill lt was a pleasant yet poignant hour . . . An hour with old friends in the annuals of long ago. Gay young voices rang out again, pretty faces smiled . . . and a few sombre shadows flitted across the pages. Superintendent W. W. Christensen Those annuals are old. Some of them go back fifteen . . . twenty . . . twenty-five years. One of them gripped and held. For in it are proud, slim figures in Army khaki and Navy blue . . . just like today . . . And the girls are just as sweet . . . and unpredictable . . . as the girls in this book That old annual made those youngsters live again. Thatls what annuals are for. A few years hence-perhaps when your youngsters begin bringing annuals home-you'll dig out this old annual. You will smile, of course, at the G. l. haircuts and old-fashioned dresses. Perhaps you will smile Qtolerantly, we hopej at Dr. Berry's solemn Visage and the superintendent's rugged brow. But against the backdrop of memory, you will re-live today: Slim, manly figures . . . sweet girlish faces . . haunting melodies . . . happy, carefree days on the campus . . . perhaps a flitting shadow' or two. One wish for you. as time goes by: So live that you can always enjoy that hour with old friends in these pages. Sincerely, W. W. Christensen Mrs. Ada St. Clair t Mr. Christensen's Secretary i II
