With our | er»onal live l eing affected more and more eiery dav by thi present oinflirl, we are douhlv conscious of the ac red meaning of the word “(iwdom and knowledge.’’ I think that the cla of 19 43 ha indeed done it part in carrying on the tradition einlmdied in thi torch. We have approximately 2t Iwiy m the erv ice of their country and many more will oon follow.

The girl of our da at o are doing their |»art. Approximately 25 of our numlter have gone into job which are a iding the war effort considerably! When thi great world conflict i over and the period of reconstruction l egin . the nation of the world are going to look to America for guidance. We must be sure that we ourselves an give the material and spiritual help mi vitally needed. The ideal for which thi torch stand are the only answer. If we fail them all i» lost, hut if we succeed our efforts will |»e dulv rewarded. It is with these thought in mind, that I present to you. Fdward hnudson. the incoming president of the (ila of 1944, this torch. We wish you every success in your journey with it and trust that you will never let it escape your sight; hut that you will hold it ever before you as an ever-burning flame of comfort and inspiration!
