Now that victory has come to our armed forces, we can begin to build a structure among the nations of the world that will make for a lasting peace. This can only be brought about by our nation and all other nations working in close harmony to bring to all peoples the privileges and bless- ings which we in this country have long enjoyed. The problems of peace must still be solved, and it will, in all prob- ability, take several years before they are completed to the satisfaction of all nations. The present-day youth of our country will play an important part in building this permanent peace of the world. I am confident you of Lake View High School will fully measure up to your responsibilities, privileges, and opportunities. JAM Assistant Pfrinfipal 7

We Honor r. Henderson A familiar face with its imbedded lines of deep concern and solicitude, mollifying eyes Which seem to remove the harshness from the judgments which he must pass, and the stern but equitable manner will no longer be ours to behold and cherish. Mr. G. Dana Henderson, who has been assistant principal for eighteen auspicious years, is now termi- nating his association with the faculty and student body. He attributes his executive ability to the training he acquired at Crane Technical High School, Lewis and Armor Institute, and Northwestern University. His progressive career had its beginning at the Trumbull Grammar School where manual training was his specific phase of teaching. Advancement to instruction in secondary schools took him to Provisio, North Shore, and Austin High Schools. 'February 11, 1922, marked the commencement of Mr. Henderson's teaching at Lake View. The first six years were devoted to regular teaching, administrative work, and later, guidance under the title of Dean of Boys. The completion of his sphere of in- fluence was the office of assistant principal. He received immeasurable enjoyment from his forty-six prosperous years in the Chicago School System. Although many times strict discipline was his duty, he infallibly upheld the respect and admiration of all he encompassed. Our distress became his burden, and his highly com- mendable principles insured us of justice with equity. Mr. Henderson's keen understand- ing of human nature, jovial spirit, and honest character all help to form the fine gentle- men whom we proudly say was our assistant principal. He not only knew how to handle his students, but faculty as well, with his engaging manner. We cannot bid farewell to a man whose personality and principles shall endlessly in- fluence our future lives. They were ours to absorb and understand, and are now pre- cepts to abide by and cherish. To you, Mr. Henderson, we join in one accord to voice our thanks. May your future bring all the contentment and peace which you so richly deserve, and may your reward be great for the outstanding service you have given to the progress of high school teach- ing and administration. From the heart of Lake View, a massed chorus of hundreds who have come under your guidance resound in an acclamation of gratitude, and a physical but never a spiritual farewell. 6

The victory of our armed forces presents to you, the youth of our country, a great challenge and a tremendous responsibility. You are the soldiers of the future, the leaders of the world, who must carry on the fight, with all the resources at your command, to secure the peace for all peoples. The war demonstrated to the world the extent of our economic and industrial power. You must understand and demonstrate the extent of our moral and spiritual power. You must have the courage to exercise this power in your role of service and leadership in the community of nations. The weapons you will use in your struggle will not be gunsg they will be ideas and ideals. It is your responsibility to build a world that recognizes the rights of individuals and the integrity of nations. Do not fail to make it a place where men may live and prosper in security and freedom. ' xW J I Assistant Principal Greeley Branch 8
