Foreword x HE RECORD of man ' s progress and the heights which he has achieved can be written across the newly conquered skies in one word — flight. Soaring, creative minds have made possible undreamed attainments, and the expanse in all fields now under control is a tribute to the loftiness of the human spirit. The sky itself offers no limit; it is but another challenge for deeper exploration into the unknown. Mankind has not reached its goal nor fulfilled its ambi- tion; but today the wings are strong and the heart is brave and the mind is clear, and the flight to enduring enlightenment is assured.

Captain Eliason Lieutenant Selenge Lieutenant Whitney Since the beginning of the war, support and assistance from Inglewood High School have been needed many times, and her students have responded to a variety of calls with an all-out effort. But the finest contribution to the winning of the war has been from those teachers and boys who have entered the armed forces. Their patriotism is admired by the friends that they have left behind, and their great sacrifices are appreciated here where we no longer see them. On December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor, one of our high school ' s graduates, Marine Raymond Pennington, was killed in action. From the time of that first attack many Inglewood alumni and former students have been fighting and risking their lives. We wish that we could list them all here, but the number is so great that no accurate account of them has yet been made.
