O7,ElA.7'O'Z N the desert sands, in the steep and treacherous mountain passes of Europe, on the beach heads of the Pacific, in the air above enemy territory, Americans are lighting-their jaws clenched with grim determination. Only yesterday these same men and women walked the halls of Maury. Since then, they have learned one of life's greatest lessons-that time is only as valuable as the use We make of it. They learned the hard way-lying in fox holes, wondering if the next shell would have their name on it-flying through the dead of night Waiting for the search lights to find them. And the lesson became a truth indelibly engraved upon their faces. Through their actions, its significance has been transmitted to us on the home front. The 1944 Commodore endeavors to show that the students of Maury have taken to heart this lesson so bitterly learned and have attempted to make the brief space of time allotted to them count for victory.
