A1CC0RDINC IC a P.B.: Another year of Norfolk High School history has been written. The 1943 Milestone is the story of high school people and high school events. Of current interest today, it will be of historical interest tomorrow. No better history could have been written. My heartiest congratulations to Sponsor Kenneth McIntyre, Editor John Steen, and the staff members. They have produced an unusually fine book. The 1943 Milestone will be a memorable one. It has been produced during the gravest days in our history since the Civil War, It will preserve for us the history of youth in a war age, the story of a high school being buffeted by forces created by a world at war. The book is unique. Nover beforo has a Milestone oontained stories of scrap drives or tin can drives. The words ration and jeep have probably never before been montionod in such a publication. Never beforo has a iilostone had for its theme - Economy . It is very fitting that such a theme be followed. Thrift, always an important and desirable trait, now becomes a must trait. Wo must save as nover before. We must not only save? we must salvago what we have thrown away. We have been in the habit of discarding seemingly worthless articles. Now we learn that many of the things we hove thrown away are valuable. The lowly tin can, the empty, twisted tooth paste tube, the grease in the bottom of the skillet—all prove to be not only valuable, but vitally important in our struggle to save democracy. It appears, then, that it's smart to be thrifty. If it's smart to be thrifty in connection with material things, how much snorter it must bo to be thrifty in connection with certain more intangible things. Perhaps we should give thought not only to saving tin cans and tooth paste tubes, but also to preserving and dovoloping our bodies, our time, our religious and moral opportunities, Evory timo we stay up late at night we waste valuable hours of sleep and rost, Whon wo wasto thoso hours, we are at the same time wasting potentiol energy and labo . When wo forget to go to church or think upon spiritual or moral matters, we waste an opportunity to develop an important side of our lives. When we pass up an opportunity to smile at an acquaintance, we lose the chance of gaining a friend. It appears, therefore, that tnore is more than one way of being a spendthrift. Those who planned and wrote this book not only had in mind economy of naterial things, but also economy of those more important personal qualities and traits just mentioned. You night possibly get along without tin cans, without twisted tooth paste tubes, even conceivably without money. You can t get along without health, without friends, without spiritual and moral development. It's smart to be thrifty. Are you that wayT Allen P, Burkhardt Superintendent
