5- O o We edlizate Formerly graduation was a magic moment dimmed only by the problems of college boards and tedious preparation for the various univer- sities of the country. Now as we walk through the halls for the last time we realize that in a warring America we will be called upon to face a grimmer task and a changed life. A rapid but none the less necess- ary transition, we have watched young gods in tails turn to men of war. They have laid aside books to take up arms for their country, knowing that no longer is the pen mightier than the sword, for sterner measure must prevail to stem the tide of destruction. To those gay, brave-hearted youths of LRHS who go to do battle for us and for many, we dedi- cate this issue as a token of the prayers in our hearts we cannot voice.

by Many Shelton lUe . So this is the end and the begin- ning- The end of school days, chi d- ish associations and the security which is the inevitable result of routine: he be inning o.' matu ity, independent thinking and the re.il- izrtion o ambitions and ideals. As we seniors face the night of graduation, our minds whirl with a medley of houghts—some hap py. some sad. While we are ea-o- to assert ourselves in the world rf adults, we are yet reluctant to give up the pleasures and friendships we have enjoyed .he past thre» years. But the time has come when we must enter a new phase of life and choose our paths. After we have rccieved our highschool dip- lomas we are free to make our im- pressions upon the world. Shall these impressions be good or bad: strong or weak? It is for us. individually, to de- cide how we shall run the race of life, whether we shall be fast or slow, winner or loser. It is heart- ening to know that the finish line for all is different, and the degree ith which we keep loward the goal, and not our swiftness, is the do. ciding factor. Our minds have been trained and developed through years of care- ful guidance from parents, teachers, and friends in preparation for this our end and surely our beginning. A I over America and the world institutions of learning are opening their doors to emit the stream of educated young men and women of this generation. . . the generation whose task it is to rebuild civ- i ization and rescue mankind from the dregs of despair and faithless- ness. We are wondering . . .about the tasks which lie ahead—hoping, that we may successfully meet the challenge of a suffering humanity —dreaming ... of a future unsul- lied by the whirling depts of hate and greed and fear—praying . . . for divine guidance and the moral courage to face our destiny. The time approaches—the hour L at hand. Our minds grow hazy with a thousand unfinished thou- ghts. We are in the midst of a sea f billowing white, and somber dark. Endless chatter and laughter issues forth from the lips of hundreds eagerly awaiting that slip of paper which is the ticket to a broader field of endeavor. There is a sud- den hus!« of expectancy :.s the mus't begins: a shifting of positions to to in readiness for the coming march. We file to our places to the stir- ring strains of the concert band. Who can say what vision now is ours? What dreams? Then we are settled and LRHS's en'.ire choral ?roup. led by the A Cappella Choir pours forth a medley of songs which seem to express those thoughts whch we cannot. The stirring service songs bring pic urcs of battleships gliding over the darkening waves, battalions of soldiers marching, marching . . . over uneven ground to the rhythm of pounding hearts, clumsy ‘auks, lumbering destructively on their way . . . gleaming wings, dipping and soaring, and dipping again as they unload their cargoes of death. War. The fundamental calamity of man.What will its numbing effect have upon our lives? We canr.- drift along as those before us have done. We must lay aside normal living, and adapt ourselves to the unusual conditions of the world. ent speakers are announced.
