building for the future We of the class of nineteen hundred forty-five of Princeton Township High School have spent four happy, industrious years at the task of Build- ing for Tomorrow. For the most part, it has been more a pleasure -a delightful and interesting game-than a task. At times, however, it has seemed a difficult under- taking-difficult not only in our individual prob- lems and assignments at hand, but also in our re- sponsibility in the looming momentous problems of the future which will influence nations. In years to come, when we look back over our high school days, we will very likely remember them as fun-filled, eventful, and, to a degree, ir- responsible. This book is designed to remind us, in those years to come, that we also were engaged in a serious enterprise which carried with it future responsibilities-that of Building for Tomorrow. In the building trade great care is given to selecting a strong, sound cornerstone for a struc- ture designed to last. This cornerstone is more than just another stone. It is a special stone, and might be called the signet and seal of sound build- ing. In the business of living, happy lives and successful careers are built on the cornerstone of character. Thoughts and motives determine the quality of the building. In life as in architecture a weak foundation will not support a strong super- structure, a sound character cannot be built with shoddy materials. With these convictions, we wish to express our sincerest appreciation to the teachers who have been our friends and interested advisers during the years they have endeavored to help us lay our foundations with strong materials and embed our cornerstones in truth. What if we have gone through high school in the time of war, a war which has necessitated many sacrifices and consequent discomfort and even sorrow? We may even consider ourselves in a measure fortunate, for sacrifices serve to broaden and strengthen charaderg and so our cornerstones of character have only become more sturdy found- ations upon which to build a happier, more useful life. May we remember the immortal words of Goethe: Talent ir developed in Jolilude, Clmracler in the .rtorm and Jireu of lhe world. -BARBARA SKINNIER
