O'ZE0l,TO'Z Today, when world-shaking events are shaping the pathway which mankind will trod for centuries to come, it may seem strange that the restless youth of American high schools are able to concentrate on the seemingly prosaic task of gaining an edu- cation. We will cease to wonder, however, when we realize that the youth of today are not merely pursuing an educationg they are being molded into men and women with Well-rounded personalities. More important, they are becoming fitted for the task of leading a post-War world through its myriad trials and troubles. In the pages of this, the 1943 volume of The Olympian, you will catch ia glimpse of how the students and teachers of one American high school live in the world of today and endeavor to prepare for the world of tomorrow-the World of freedom and democracy universal. We faithfully trust that you will get from our yearbook an enjoyment akin to that which we have experienced in preparing it. MARIETTA, School of Glory. I ,ix l 4
