 Although we receive our diplomaa in tho midst of the greatest conflict in hilfory, we, the claH of '44 feel assured that we have trained ourselves well that wo might better meet the I'flponaibilities of life. Howonr, our thoughta turn from our clallmate. around tu to thoae who through a quirk of fate were not fortunate enough to be hero to shore theae honora with ua. It ia to I'hete bop that we wish to express our deep regret that they are not here, but in the aamo tone, we have great hopea for their lpeedy victory and aafe return home. Wo, of thia elaa, feel moat fortunate that we have had the foreaight and courage to overcome the tomptationl of jobt and money ID very prevalent now. Greater com- mendations are due to our claumates who do not hove to overcome temptation of money and eoay living, but the forces of prejudice,, hate, and greed. Thein fl. a greoter struggle than oura could possibly have been, but, having the fortitude, the strength and the fear of God in their hearts, we know they will come through. It is our hope that victory will come soon and all of our classmates will return to finish their education not in a world disturbed by turmoil and strife, but in a world of peace and harmony-a peace which they helped to make. i( MORGAN TO WIN A WAR TO THOSE WHO LEFIf DEDICATED • Y¥YY¥¥¥YY¥¥¥YY 16 Catherine Russell
