I-lllllllillllllll Editorial WE PROMISE TANDING on the threshold in 'read- iness for entering the most critical period in our lives, we graduates of 1945 are fully cognizant of the respon- sibilities which are ours in helping to reconstruct and rehabilitate this cha- otic world. We have already lived through one of the most turbulent periods in the history of our country and many of us have sacrificed the pleasures of the moment for the pur- pose of helping to bring the world out of its turmoil. We have been hardened for the task before us and with deter- mination and confidence we promise we can and will do our part. ANNI OPTIMI T would be comforting to agree with Robert Browning when he said: Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be. However, we of the Class of '45 think probably that a quotation with an adverse idea such as The best has passed would be more applicable to us. That may seem like a pessimistic attitude, but we must confess that we have had the best time of our lives in the past four years, particularly in the last year. At no other time have we experienced or do we expect to experience the enjoyment that came with those four years, not only from knowing that we were maturing and gaining knowledge and experience but also from just plain having fun , such as we felt when attending a high school dance, watching an Ipswich High victory in athletics, singing in the corridors on senior day, or from such seemingly trivial things as Watch- ing Bouzianis make his daily trip to the wastebasket for the purpose of depositing gum, or listening to Bedro- sian and Brown emit puns, or watch- ing Cruikshank stammer humorously through the answer to a question. Of course, our senior year saw the culmination of this enjoyment, perhaps because we were the magnidomini of the students then. At any rate, in this year we realized more than ever what a good time we were having and we knew that we would regret leaving the scene of it all. Though some of us may have said during our senior year that we would be glad to get out of this school, down inside we knew that we didn't mean it. VVe knew that after graduation we would wish many times to be back in high school and that in memory, at least, we would often come back, for our high school days can never be forgotten.
