Times of great ernergeney bring to the surface the noblest qualities of inanhind. When aneient Athens was in peril, its youth made a pledge nerer to bring disgrace 'upon their city and to defend it urith their lires against attaelr. This is the hind of loyalty Amerieans must hare in this period of crisis. The President has said that ive are lu-aging a u-ar ry' S'7l'l'I ll'f1l. This means that ive, young and old, are engaged in a struggle to preserre the Ameriean IfVay of Life. Unr liberties, our religions, and our eirilization are being threatened as nerer before in the history ofthe nation. Our enemies are seornful cy' the democratic form of gorernment. Should they prerail, the rights irhieh ire possess as freemen zrould perish and some nenv order based on the false doetrine of racial superiority uould be substituted. The history of the United States gires the lie to this erroneous philosophy, -for ure have giren the irorld a practical demonstration that men of rarying races, ereeds, and cultures can lire harmoniously together. This is the ideal u'e are fighting to preserre. I am sure that you will be loyal to this ideal. Whether it is to be your lot to serre on the home -front or on the field of battle, I lcnou' that the pupils of Jamaica Plain High School will bring glory to their school, their parents, and their country. 5?

Class Message Our high school years have been pleasant ones. Here, within the walls of Jamaica Plain High School, we have enjoyed many associations with friends, and varied social activities. We hope We have profited by lessons taught us by a faithful, friendly Faculty, and by the guidance extended by our genial Head- master, Mr. Casey. For all of this we are grateful, and offer thanks. Our class faces the turmoil of War. To us, this is a challenge to put into practice ideals which parents and teachers have endeavored to instill in us: perseverance, courage, and a will to meet the future honestly. In our school office, hangs a manuscript copy of the Oath of the Young Men of Athens , it may offer us an inspiration in the days to come. May we also fight for the ideals and Sacred things of our country, revere and obey its laws and try, in our humble Way, to quicken the Public's sense of Civic duty. JOSEPHINE LUCIANO Vice-President oj Class of 1942
