MONSIEUR LE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: We hope you will not think we are presumptuous if we introduce ourselves to you. We, the Seniors of Lafayette High School, wish to pay you tribute in the dedication of our 1941 yearbook. We honor a great leader and a worthy Frenchman who loved America as dearly as his own land. In your life were represented the spirit of youth, the love of freedom, the faith in democracy, and the alertness and courage, which combined with a high intellect, form the modern basis for Americanism. We believe in Lafayette High School as fervently as we believe that the spirits of great men never die. As long as the ideals and spirits of a great man survive, he lives. We feel that your ideals are part of our institution and we glory in our name and the ancient crest of nobility which graces our banner. We know of your love for the tricolor-the traditional red, white, and blue-and have colored our message with pa- triotism. We ask you to turn from your native grief-strick- en France, and to view in America our part in a vast pano- rama of hope. In the tale of Lafayette High School, written by many students, you will view the individual personalities. Through their freedom of expression, you will learn of our school with its ideals and activities, and you will gain intimate knowledge of a living democracy. It is our desire that the spirit of this school and its fair- minded principal, Mr. D. H. Murphy, occupy a place in your heart. Changes are inevitable, but Lafayette memories a1'e among our most precious possessions, and we wish to share them with you. It is our prayer that we never may lose them in this turbulent world. Most respectfully yours, SENIORS OF THE CLASS OF 1941.
