Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love: where there is injury, pardon: where there is doubt, faith, where there is despair, hope: where there is darkness, light: and where there is sadness, ioy. Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to con- sole, to be understood as to understand: to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. St. Francis of Assisi The world is cold, and bitter winds with raging force blow over the surface of the earth this January of 1947. There are months ahead in which we must battle against opposing forces with every facility at our command, until finally we emerge triumphant and become masters of the forces of evil. Spring will come and new buds and sprouts of life will break through the hard earth as the warm and productive summer months approach. Nature rules its elements, but human nature is dominated by man, who has within his power the ability to govern his own actions and influence others, thus bringing about his bet- terment or destruction. The motives of a nation reflect the fundamental characteristics of its people. Unless peace and tolerance are embedded deep within the hearts of the individual people of a country, no peace will be found among the peoples of different countries. For, as a. lone pebble cast upon the water causes ever widening ripples to form, so also shall peace instilled within our hearts radiate to others. Then and only then, shall we be ful- filling the obligation of our generation and putting into practice the desire and necessity expressed in our class motto, That I May Serve . We've laughed, worked, and shared mutual problems together for the past four years. Now we must part. Physically the coming years will separate us, but mentally we shall always remain the class of January '47 who strove for excellence in scholarship, athletics, and moral standards. This book is dedicated to the Senior Class that all their memories of Redford High School may remain as vivid and lasting as they seemed on graduation day.
