1,..-.,---- i -?-W -W- Foreword Since December 7, 19411, Americans have come to the realization that many keys which we have been using for generations are no longer useful. They realize that some were ill-forged, or no longer lit, and that others have simply worn out. They saw Mars forge new and better keys to open up horrible methods of warfare. They saw avaricious diplomats and politicians prove that the keys by which we have been directing our economic struggle for existence were useless when new and stronger keys were introduced. The airplane and cunning, limitless use of propaganda are keys which have taken the place of the out-moded battleship and the old-fashioned type of impotent propaganda. The diplomatic victories of this type of propaganda in government circles of the small European nations have convinced us that our key for this lock no longer fits. The treacherous attack on l'earl Harbor, the tragic defeats at Greece, Crete, and Singapore have vividly shown us that our keys for both de- fense and offense were ill-forged. Modern innovations and recent, events have not only pointed out the misfit keys in our national setup but they have also brought to light keys which do Ht M keys which were well-made, tempered in white heat, and carefully shaped to ht. the lock.

It consists of four years of work in the classrooms, in the machine shops, in the study halls, and on the athletic Held. For some the apprenticeship is nearly over, and we stand before the gate of the unpredictable tomorrowg for others there is still work to do. And for the records of those achievements, we place in your hand Tl-tic 'TlO'1'lClXT, master key to unlock memories of work and play, friendship and cooperation, loyalty and truth, growing and building, that we may never say with regret: 'The key of yesterday, I threw away, And now today, Before tomorrowls fast closed gate, Helpless I wait. In vain to wish, in vain to sorrowg Only the key of yesterday unlocks tomorrowf -4-
