DEDICATION We, the Seniors of ’44 dedicate this book to our principal, Mr. Claude V. York. To be perfectly frank, the staff doesn’t really know how to properly write an appropriate dedication to the man who has done more than anyone else in guiding our work and play during most of our school life. It is always hard for young people to immediately benefit from the counsel of those more experienced in life. Youth is eager, dar- ing, and quick to accept a worthwhile challenge. American young people have the faculty of great energetic vitality that is known throughout the world. So many times, those who have guided that spirit when it was being nourished, are forgotten as history records the lives of the successful youth of the nation. To each one of us, however, as we go to make our lives from the individuals we are, there will be a constant reminder of a person who gave his utmost that we might someday benefit from his work. We shall try not to disappoint you, Mr. York, you who have had so much faith in the character and achievement of the class of ’44. Four

✓ THE CHALLENGE OF THE FUTURE Students must continue to be students. They must analyze the ideas of the world. They must think them through so they will understand why they are wise or unwise. That is the democratic way and must be guided by pure motives if we are going to make democracy live. The economic and social problems of our own country must be attacked with sincere motives because governments of today are given much responsibility in helping the economic and social wel- fare of its people. This service must be the type which brings out the best effort on the part of each citizen. Plainly, students, we see the personal and international inter- dependence. We must work for an organization that will bring order and justice to all people and all nations. Six
