We, the students of Prescott Senior High School, a small, democratic unit of the United States, are traveling today along a very dark and very rough path. We can't see our way at times, but we know what our goal must be—complete victory for the democracies and freedom from oppression and want for all peoples. This road may seem to grow longer and longer. Our tasks may grow harder and harder. Sometimes we may grow discouraged and weak, but we must bear in mind the greatness of the struggle and the magnitude of the goal that we are striving to reach. We must lift the downtrodden, beaten, starving nations from the shadows of hunger and terror and want into the clear light of freedom. But freedom alone is not enough. We must raise their standards of living so that they will be happy and contented and no terrorist will again be allowed to rise to power. When the war is won, our work will be only partially completed. We cannot lose interest once the battle is over and withdraw into a tight shell of isolationism. We students, as the citizens—the civilians and the soldiers—of tomorrow, cannot let this happen. Although our numbers may be small, we can be a huge influence if we do our part.

 ’ (I It E II II II This year of war has brought many changes to Prescott Senior High School. Our whole outlook on the future has been abruptly changed as a result of the ambitions of those in Berlin and Tokyo. Where formerly students look forward to occupations in civil- ian industries, they now consider the relative merits of the different branches of the armed forces or the possibilities offered by war industries. Our hopes of higher education have had to be given up in most instances. Here at school—well, you all know the changes that have taken place in the field of interscholastic sports. It was a bitter pill to swallow at first, but it hasn't been so bad, has it? Although many activities have been dropped, there have been new ones to take their place. Remembei the scrap drive and the blisters we acquired in the process of gathering the huge pile of old stoves? I think that we can say that this year has been a full one for all of us. Now, at its close, we have many memories of happy hours spent in study and recreation. Let us not forget the past, but let us face the future with courage and determination.
