THE MARGARETTA 4 hiinrial Brhimtinn We, the staff of the 1942 Margaretta', dedicate this year's issue to you of our alumni who are serving in the armed forces of our nation. Most of you men were among us even a year ago, and today the ever- widening gap left by your departure is all too noticeable. It becomes even more so when the list is read, for, it is a long list for a school of our size. Yet it is typical-since it is demonstrative of every other school in every other town in this country and in others. Many who still remain will soon join you in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Corps, or Marines. For it is a glorious example that has been set by you who already are serving. But is not war a glorious thing? Doesn't the booming of guns, the waving of flags, the feel of a uniform, the tread of marching feet, the sound of the bugle, exemplify this glory? Fear not, absent comradesg we at home are not fooled-not one of us. Every American realizes the true situation. We know the real story- the story of dirt and fatigue, misery and pain, work and sweat, homesick- ness and despair. We know that War is Hell , whether at the front or training in camp. But don't we owe something to our country-a country which, thank God, is still free? We are indebted to an infinite degree. We all are pay- ing-especially you boys. It is the greatest of sacrifices to leave our homes in these times. But, we have been challenged, and Americans don't take things lying down! It is just The American Way . We will rise with a mighty sword to cut down the tyrannical maniacs, the usurpers, and the scum who dare to threaten us. There are many ways that we, the hilt and body of that sword, can show you, who constitute its blade, that we are with you and behind you every minute. We will work for your victorious return, and pray that it may come soon.
