OUR CHALLENGE The finze has eonze when deparzf we inusf, For God has placed in us a iruszf. So, while war lords rule in every land, The Class of 43,' shall dishand. The task before us most certainly is greafg Is iz' any wonder fhen, we hesifaie Before faking ihe one final sfep I nfo fhe sea we know not ihe depfh? Our sunrise was all we wished it to he, So glorious, so eolorful, so hountiful and free, Bu! our noonday skies are darkened o'erhead Tho we paused, we go forward, wifhout feeling of dread. The world will liffle nofe our Corning, perhaps, As fhe las! sehool ties we gravely unelasp. Our path no longer will he padded with flowers, We are anxious fo aeeepi lhe Challenge thai is ours! -Iris june Freneh MANIFESTATIONS OF GOOD WILL In spite of the uncertainties and perplexities of this troublous year, the school has been well remembered. Among the many kind considerations were the following gifts: Booksqfrom the library of Mrs. Mary Saunders and the American Legion Auxiliary. Magazine contribu- tions included The National Geographic, Readers' Digest, and Sports Magazine by Mr. Ellery Strayer, Engineering Magazine by Mr. O. A. Carpenter, Life Magazine by Mr. Elmer Vernier. A large American flag was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Tingle in memory of their son, LaVern. Such gifts as these cannot be valued in dollars and cents, but rather this spirit is the essence of the feeling which makes for a better school, a better community and a liner fellowship. --Doris Priest Page 12

1 A Warring World Yes, many changes are evident and the schools are playing a mighty part as soldiers on the home front. The problems of education for freedom are not simple in these times. Priority must now be given to the winning of War-and Winning the war requires the services of young men and women. This generation will have no time beyond the age of eighteen to acquire the knowledge and training they will need and are entitled to have as American citizens, but we sincerely hope that the coming generation of students will have a smoother pathway on which to travel. -Harvey Scott, Jr. 3 'J -x it ,f 'R J Z ,.-I' ----.1 lun! .flaw IGH SCHOOL Page 11
