f ( dedication TO THE LODI UNION HIGH SCHOOL FAC- ULTY, whose generous help and guidance we deeply appreciate, we, the Tokay staff, dedicate our nineteen forty-six To- kay. Without faculty as- sistance, the staff would not have been able to compile and publish this edition of the Tokay. We of the staff are voicing the gratitude of the entire senior class when we acknowledge the untiring efforts of our teachers who taught us the fundamentals of our chosen subjects. We are grateful for the helpful suggestions of our class advisers who assisted us in carrying out a success- ful last year, which will be remembered in the years to come. We are keenly aware of the sym- pathetic guidance of our counselors in planning a successful future for those of us who wish to further our knowledge and to ac- complish worthy things after we have left Lodi High School. To all of you, we give our whole-hearted thanks.

 oreirorrf THE NINETEEN FORTY-SIX TOKAY IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC AND WRITTEN REVIEW of the school year. It tells of Lodi High School's adminis- tration, classes, activities, and sports. In this review, we have tried to portray both the serious and the lighter side of your high school life. The accent has been placed on the lighter side by featuring candid shots of rallies, plays, sports, and other school activ- ities. The serious side of our book is presented to you through the written messages of our superin- tendent, principal, and fellow students. Although we students have our lighter moments, we are seri- ous enough to realize that a greater effort in educa- tion will mean much to us in creating a better future. The various messages stress this importance of a more concentrated effort in education for a better world of tomorrow. As every preceding staff has done, we have endeavored to improve this edition of the Tokay. Candid shots of campus life have been featured in an arrangement which we hope you will especially enjoy. In an attempt to establish a tradition, we have used a cover design similar to that of last year. The staff presents the nineteen forty-six Tokay to you for your approval. Our special aim has been to present it in such a way that, as you look through it in years to come, you will once aqain see the faces of your school chums and feel the thrill of those happy, carefree, hiqh school days. If you are pleased with the results of this venture, then so are we. ROSE SCHIMPF, Editor

THESE FOUR YEARS WE HAVE STRIVEN TO HELP YOU prepare yourself for the future. Our function as a school has been to provide you with resources from which you should have derived attitudes, appreciations, and interests. We hope that through these resources we have enabled you to develop your capacities for sound thinking, fair dealing and skillful partici- pation. As a school we have many responsibilities. We have certain responsibilities to you as in- dividuals, and other responsibilities to society of which you are members. In America, part of the responsibility for conserving and improv- ing the American way of life has been assigned to the schools. To meet our obligation to you as individuals, we provide a variety of opportunities for personal development. Among these are the use of the language arts, the social skills needed for participation in democratic living, and cer- tain cultural and manipulative skills. To meet our responsibility to society, we help the pupil understand the traditional American way of life, we help him develop attitudes necessary to defend and preserve the best in the American tradition, and we help him de- velop the understanding necessary to improve the traditional American way of life. It is not enough that people appreciate America's greatness; they must also recognize her weaknesses, for these are the symptoms of future breakdown. A definite indication of one weakness is the fact that a third of our young men were rejected for military service because of bad health or illiteracy. This would probably not have happened if it were not true that about a third of our people live on a sub-stand- ard welfare level. Surely these people do not MR. EARLE P. CRANDALL Principal principal v message share equality of opportunity in our democracy. Such problems as these must be solved through the processes of education, and you, as citizens in this democracy, must assume your responsi- bility for their solution. To meet the student’s many personal needs through the regular school curricula is imprac- tical; therefore we have provided you with the advantages of a more personal guidance and counseling system. We invite you to continue to use this service after you graduate. Come in with your college and employment problems. Perhaps we can be of service to you. It has been a pleasure to work with this class. We hope to have the pleasure of future associ- ation with you all. EARLE P. CRANDALL.
