Foreword Let uf be of good rheer, laawever, remembering that mirfofluner harder! to bear are flame that never rome. fame: Rune!! Lowell We, the graduating class of june, 1943, are stepping from the secure, inclosed walls of Hawley High into the vast, cold wilderness of an uncertain future. Unlike graduates of past years, we are ven- turing into a world of turmoil and confusion. But we are prepared to face the hardships of our country confidently and willingly, hav- ing been brought to the realization that the democratic way of life is the only way of life for a progressive and cultured nation. For this understanding we are grateful for the patient and kindly guid- ance of parents, teachers and friends. Leaving school at this time we shall be hindered by many unusual complications and uncertainties. As future citizens of America, we leave the portals of Hawley High School determined to do our part, no matter how trivial, or how difficult our stint may beg we are determined to help to save our country from the clutches of dictatorship. Instead of continuing our education, many of us will join the armed services upon graduation. Our education may be postponed for perhaps three or four more years. But we are not going to com- plain. We, young women as well as young men, are going to fight, either as members of the armed forces, or in defense industries, or on the farms. We are going to fight that our underclassrnen may proceed with their advanced education without interruption if pos- sible. We are going to fight, remembering that misfortunes hard- est to bear are those that never come .
