K' ffXl . Y, The Taleoken of l94l is endeavoring to form a permanent 'bute to the youth of this year. Through our aviation theme we Me to reproduce in print the patriotic spirit of American boys and girls. For, with justification, we feel that our high school students are the most fortunate persons on this earth. Because of our Ameri- can way of government and life, we are able to look forward to the future, not with dread and discouragement, but with hope and confi- dence. ln return for all the opportunities and advantages offered to us by this glorious country, we are preparing to devote our humble services and our lives to it. Let us never forget the words spoken by that brave spirit of another generation: We must march ,... we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend.

to Fligh The old order changeth, making way for the new. We of the Taleoken staff, in compiling this annual for 1940-1941, have been constantly aware of the truth of this statement and, in endeavoring to follow the trend of the times, we have found it necessary to uproat certain traditions in regard to arrangement. ln carrying out the theme of the book, we have likened our progress through high school to the training course of the ambitious young pilot, following chronologically the steps from his entrance into ground school to the final winning of the wings. This has resulted in the re- moval of the seniors from their accus- tomed place up front to a spot nearer the back of the book. This and other innovations we submit to you now for your approval. We sin- cerely hope we have succeeded in i s pleasing you with our efforts. The big six of the Tale- oken staff look over a few pictures. Seventeen hundred of us pass in and out each day. f
