SERVICE The world in which we find ourselves today demands one thing of each and every one of us. It is that one word which is more in the speech of the nation today than ever before. That word iS S€rvice. Usually when one hears the word service it is connected with a branch of our armed services, the Army, Navy, Marines, etc. We rightly heap praise upon the members of these services who are doing such a magnificent job in the far corners of the earth as well as at hore. It is not possible to confer too much honor and glory upon them. They have a job to do which has been unequaled in the past, and they are doing it with a spirit and thoroughness a!so unprecedented in history. But there are, as in every battle, unsung heroes. They are the seemingly unimportant people who never get any glory for the effort they put forth. Yet, without them, our armed services could do little. I should like to mention a few of them. Included in their ranks are Civilian Defen se workers, men and women who get to work on time every day, men and women who, although inconvenienced by rationing of different commodities, think of the better days ahead, and smile, thus helping to boost morale. Then, too, there are those least likely to get credit for the valuable services they perform—the boys and girls who collect the thous- ands of tons of scrap metal needed to “keep ’em rolling.” Cer- tainly anyone who performs any of the above mentioned services, or any of the thousand and one not mentioned, should carry himself as proudly and feel as happy on that day of glorious victory as those who are decorated with a ribbon or medal.

FP ORReli Ue aie) Today when practically all minds are turned toward the armed forces and the winning of victory, we have centered the 1943 Annual around the theme ‘The Armed Services.” Rep- resented in its pages are the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Forces, and Merchant Marine. These, together with the Coast Guard, the WAACS, the WAVES, the SPARS and the Women’s Auxiliary Marine Corps, form Uncle Sam’s Honor Roll. Each of these plays a vital part in achieving final victory. During the past two years, many of the gradu- ates of Lee High have been inducted into, or have enlisted in one of these branches. To these, whose loyalty and patriotism will long be remembered, we wish to dedicate this Annual. To the several members of the student body who in recent months have left to help Uncle Sam in attaining that glorious, inevitable, victory, we wish to send cordial greetings and our best wishes with the dedication of this Annual.
