Geneseo Township High School lIE4DlIRlIE5M71DllRllD r E are standing at the edge of our adventure in the accumulation of knowledge for life, and thus we look out toward new horizons and assume our fuller respon- sibilities. We are ready now to help bear the burdens of the nation and perform to the best of our abilities the duties of citizenship. To us has fallen the difhcult task of helping to reconstruct war torn lands and lift our country out of the chaos of war and destruction to the light of peace and happiness. We must welcome home our disabled, maimed, and blind war veterans and show them a new, richer life. Ours is the responsibility to show all men the way to education for better lives in the future. We accept our task, and thanking our advisers and teachers for their directing hands, we go forward in our work. May this record of our accomplishments these past years stimulate us and others to the performance of our duties. THE EDITOR. 1
