an p . I XWMAG-ge ln the national emergency Thomas lefferson High School is setting a real record in patri- otic Work and training. Stu- dents and faculty members have assumed the new respon- sibilities and are contributing strongly to the War effort. This Victory Edition of the Monti- cello is a valuable record of the year's activities, a patriotic contribution not only because it faithfully tells the story of the defense activities Within the school but also because the Monticello Staff, in carrying out their theme, have had the com- plete co-operation of the Army officials, thus making it pos- sible for many groups of our students to be received gra- ciously at the Army posts and fields and to imbibe still further the patriotism now so vitally needed. lt is my earnest hope that you continue to meet this new state of World affairs in the same fine spirit with which you have engaged in your activities this critical year. -T.
