DEDICATION C WITH LIBERTY AND JUsTIcEa- IN these two simple words lies the essence of a democracy and in this Hag lies the union of free men - men who are not afraid to stand up for what is right - men who are not afraid to die for God and their country. lt is for freedomls sake that we are now engaged in a great War - a struggle that should prove to the world that truth crushed to earth shall rise again. To meet our enemies on every front we are forced to fight a global war - it is necessary for us to have a large army, navy, and air force. To H11 these requirements countless numbers of American citizens have joined the ranks of our armed forces - Kane High School, like every American school. has lost many friends who have joined our armed forces, some for the duration, some forever. So in a humble effort to prove to these men that we are forever behind them and their cause, We, the students of Kane High, hereby dedicate this volume of the HURRI-KANE to you brave men in our armed forces, and especially to you men of our faculty who have sacrificed your own interests in order that We might continue our Ameri- can Way of life. With God and righteousness behind you there can be no doubt as to the final outcome of this, our war.
