IN APPRECIATION LIEUT. HAYDEN L. SCHOFIELD We, the Class of 1945, express our heartfelt appreciation of the noble ef- forts and achievements of all those men and women who are serving in the armed forces of the United States. Especially we offer our homage to Scho, our principal on military leave, and to Phil Bate, Omer Claiborne, Ken Metz- ger, and Ted Mitchell, members of our class who left school before the be- ginning of our senior year and are now giving valiant service to our nation We hail these protectors of our American Way of life, and we promise to keep faith with them in our common ideals, to work and fight and pray to win the war and the peace, and to help establish a better world in the future.

EARLE W. ANIBAL ROBERT I. SMITH Supervising Principal Principal IRENE P. DUNN Secretary THE ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1945: As this is being written, the ever-changing clouds of war hang over all of us. Whether we are facing another squall of battle or the sunshine of peace, none of us can accurately fore- tell. The only certainty of the future is its uncertainty. In the face of such conditions, no one can plan much for the future in the way of material comforts: however a sound philoso- phy of life coupled with a good education is the best prepara- tion possible for either a war-torn or quietly peaceful world. The sound philosophy of life comes with age and experience. You have started moulding your philosophy 'by what you have done here in school while getting a part of your education. Your teach- ers, your parents, your friends have all made their contributions to your life. As each year passes more and more of the respon- sibility for your success or failure rests with you alone. We here at school regret to see you leave us, but at the same time we envy you. We have high hopes for you based on our experiences with you. We will listen with pride to accounts of your future successes and with regret to accounts of your fail- ures. You alone will detennine which you will have. We wish you the best of luck. But more important than luck we wish for you strong characters, real friends, and a great satisfaction with life in a world of peace. 7
