TIOT STAFF This is the group which created the Tiot for 1944. Jean Robertson Tom Rogers Charles Mitchell Henry Adams Verna Carpenter Catharine Gullich Co-Editor Co-Editor Art Editor Photography Editor Circulation Editor Advertising Editor We have worked hard to make this yearbook the best publication any senior class has ever offered. Whether or not we have succeeded, is for you to judge. The demands of total war have made necessary changes in paper, layout, and photography. Nevertheless, here it is — Tiot for 1944.

This wartime graduation of the Class of 1944 marks the third such commencement since Pearl Harbor. We are stepping forth from the peace and security of school life to a turbulent world rocked by total war. Fighting and winning this war will be the chief concern of the majority of our class immediately after receiving our diplomas. Already over thirty boys who entered with us as sophomores are in the armed forces qualified in V-5, V-12, or as Army Aviation Cadets and have been inducted and await only graduation before leaving. Selective Service channels will induct the rest as they reach their eighteenth birthdays. Girls, too, have accepted the challenge of war service, and they are entering the Cadet Nursing Corps and working in Defense Plants in order to contribute to the war effort. All of these jobs, service in the armed forces, nursing, and war work, are vital to victory, but it is after victory that the real job of this graduating class will come. Development of a post-war world which is in keeping with the best American traditions will require our best efforts. It will be the responsibility of young people like ourselves to see that the mistakes of the last war are not repeated. We, who are soon to dictate the Government of this nation through the ballot box, must go forth determined to guarantee equal opportunities to all people regardless of race, color, or creed. The privileges contained in the Four Freedoms and the pledges outlined in the Atlantic Charter should be made realities if we are to avoid future bloodshed. We have seen in English and History Classes what the causes of this war were; through mounting casualty lists, we are seeing what the cost of war is; in blueprints for the future and in our dreams, we can see the possibilities for the post-war world. It is up to us to make sure that these dreams and blueprints become actualities. By the Editors
