l l PAUL R. MILLER Priuripal Students of Kane High, YVhen we civilians speak of victory, we too often visualize that great day when the War will end and peace will once more hold sway over our land and the rest of the world. We long to see our friends and our relatives who are in the Armed Forces, and victory connotes a swift reunion with them. VVhat we forget is that victory is not a single event but the culmination of many seemingly in- significant occurrences that contribute to a final day when we can appear as conquerors. NVe forget that each day brings with it an opportunity to appear as victors or vanquished. lmportant and paramount as the Armed Forces are in deciding the course of the war, we must not forget that we have a part to play. Each thing that we do in a constructive way contributes that much to a swifter ending of the deadly struggle. Each thing that we neglect to do or wilfully pass over addsghat much to be accomplished by someone else. COMMANDING OFFICERS School has always been important in train- ing civilians. Now it is important in train- ing men to take part in this epic struggle. No longer does the Army, the Navy or the Klarines want 'fcannon fodder. They need men trained to such an extent that they may benefit by further technical training. Above all we must train citizens. lf we win the war and our people are not ready to live in the new world ahead of us, then the victory will be hollow indeed, for we shall have lost. PAUL R. Himsa O Miss Gregg l have to get a reentrance slipf, How many of us have said that after an absence? lt was Nliss Ethel Gregg, our busy assistant principal, who issued our slips. Besides this bliss Gregg taught algebra, sponsored Stu- dent Council, Hall Patrol and 'National Honor Society. For the first six weeks Bliss Gregg was acting principal. At the end of the first semester she became ill and was given a leave of absence. ETHEL M. GREGG flscvixtafzt Prinripal

Graduates of I9-H, Another school year of patriotic activity has become history. Those efforts begun last year have continued along all fronts with re- sultant gains in both the war and scholastic sectors. After this time we are all conscious that these efforts have definitely tipped the scales toward 'Victorylg and although 'Victory' is not yet in sight, we know that it is hound to come. Consequently, the theme of this hook, fVictory', is not a paean of triumph, but a challenging promise of a glorious conclusion. 'l'he four dimensional aspect of the War, the tremendous outlay of money and effort, the huge quantities of men and machines, should emphasize to each of us the vast im- portance of even small quantities and tiny efforts. The contribution of the tin from one tuhe of toothpaste hy each individual citi- zen of the countries comprising the United Nations would reach an amount more than equal to our war needs. lr is the sum total of these small efforts which will win for us. There is no thing, no person, no deed, no idea so insignificant as to be ignored as worthless. Each makes its impact for good or evil. This fact holds true regardless of whether or not the world is in chaos. Nlay you, the Class of 19-H, take heart and with renewed strength carry on through your lives the great values to he found in such a vital lesson. GLENNIS H. R1cK1zR'r.
