-,Q Geneseo Township High School FOREWORD With a future that promises to brighten after the first and hardest years of the conflict, we, the seniors of 44, can come forth into the world with our chins up and shoulders thrown hack. Knowing that the fate of tomorrow de- pends on the youth of today, we can advance with a def- inite goal in sight. When we have achieved that end--a just and lasting world peace-we can look hack to joys and sorrows, the trials and triumphs of our high school days. It is sincerely hoped that this edition of the Sphinx will keep the memories burning. Now with a Hip of this page we are once more the graduating class of 1944.

THE SPHINX .... 1944 DEDICATION In honor of the cause for which our boys are fight- ing and dying, we dedicate this 1944 issue of the Sphinx. Many of our friends and school companions have left us to fight for a cause that they deem worthy and necessary. To do justice to these companions and to the world, we therefore strive to make Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness a tradition well worth preserving for our pos- terity. May this cause be long remembered as a part of the American way of life.
