KLI. U H BUYS . . . The held of blue which covers our Service Flag is indeed impressive and puts a lump in the hearts of Empehites. We pray that no more gold stars will mar our flag, and sympathy is extended for those gold stars already present. May God speed the quick and sale return of these Americans, from Army nurse to Navy Seaman, and may this dedication represent the faith and trust Empehi has in Hit's fighting alumnilw ff W 'Q vfies C04 1 f' Of of dk X i ff A' ? 1 - + Fff'?fE 'K fe Q tnwtttlii 2 Sa f Q, 5 f 24, up tl le, All -in X -6 ' T57 me 'me Q -f, s Z fm SW XW My ' MARINES COAST GUARD Page 5

To these men and women, once boys and girls whose laughter resounded throughout Empehi's halls, we pledge our loyalty, backing, and pride, and dedicate our Annual. Their lighting, and protection, a joh being well done, has kept institutions like Morgan Park free and democratic.

Page 6 EMPEHI GOES TO WAR! The year of l942-43 has brought many changes to the lives of Empehites. Many have seen their brothers leave for theaters of War, many graduating seniors are an- ticipating their own call to the country's service. Therefore, the students of Morgan Park have become more aware of this war and what it means to their future. ln doing their share students worked long and hard during the scrap-drive col- lection-many pulling to school in Wagons what the basement had brought forth. Red Cross drives and Victory Book campaigns flourished, and War Bond and Stamp sales have slowly increased due to the efforts of the faculty. Physical fitness programs have been stressed in physical education classes, R.O.T.C. cadets swing out with a feeling of really accomplishing something, extra-cur- ricular clubs have attempted to clarify and explain certain war activities in their pro- grams, assembly programs have empha- sized certain phases of the war effort. With all its seriousness, however, Mor- gan Park has not lost its lighter side. Dur- ing the fall and spring days students still congregate along the shady walks sur- rounding the school, although the converti- bles have practically disappeared from the scene. Football games and other sport- ing events are still tops for Empehites. We of the graduating classes leave Mor- gan Park for new fields-most boys for some field of service for our country. We will carry with us all the memories of a happy four years and also hope that those remaining will enjoy the same experi- ences.
