l FOREWORD In these days of glaring headlines, the world seems to be in a state where things matter if measured only in the multiples of ten. Lost are many of the formerly held principles of human honesty and decency, and taking their places are new and better methods of bringing conflict and misery to fellow man. The war will not last forever, though, and in the days following the peace all the for- merly adhered to principles will be needed as never before. That these prin- ciples are lost, we of LFA do not believe, for in our years spent at the Academy, we have been able to look out at the troubled world with new conceptions, new ideas, most of which stem from personal ideas of morals acquired here at LFA. In the gatepost welcoming the entering Academy student to his new life, the ideals of the Academy seem exemplified. The gatepost is his first material conception of a new life which holds in store only unknown mysteries, wrapped up in things called traditions and ideals. The post at this time means very little, and the entering student is concerned only with the actual life, initiations, and athletic programs of the Academy. As the student, however, comes to realize the deeper thoughts behind the traditions, as the school motto Ad Viros Fac- iendos begins to take on meaning, the last parting from the school at the sign- post becomes a moment of importance. Gone is the lad who entered a freshman or sophomore, when he leaves, he is the product of years of untiring efforts. The only so-called witness to the change is the signpost, now standing as a note of parting, which has witnessed the change into a man with clean ideals, a man who is ready to take his place in the troubled times of today. 6

Alvin P. Gemhler To Alvin P. Gemhler - coach, adviser, and friend f we, the staff of the 1945 Caxy, take great pleasure in dedicating this hook. Many have been the times when his word of encour- agement has led the Caxymen of the field of sport victorious, and numerous are the in- cidents when he has given faith to those not so athletically inclined as some. His reassur- ing smile, when the path became rough, has led us all into a more knowing realization of the words Ad Viros l aciendos. DEDICATIO
