DEDICATIO Because they left their classrooms this year to enter the field of service offered to them within the armed forces of our great country and because our best wishes and highest hopes go with them for success in all they can and may do to hasten the victory to which we are pledged, we, the staff, dedicate the 1943 lifarbook to Corporal Samuel Guzzardo, teacher of social studies, Lieutenant Richard Horrall, head of department of science, and Private Ralph Hall, director of the band.

PQREWQRD Our flag, symbol of the four freedoms, has floated proudly over our building each day this year, bringing fresh hope to all of us as we paid silent tribute and dedicated our lives anew to the cause of victory in the present struggle and of the peace that will follow. It has been a glorious, stirring year. Hundreds of former Roosevelt boys upheld the school's tra- ditions and teachings as they took their places in line of duty along our far-flung battle frontsg some paid the supreme sacrifice, and of them the school is justly proud. Students, in addition to their many responsibilities, have bent every effort with out- standing success to further the war effort in a very real wayg and teachers, with unswerving devotion to their country and to American ideals, with un- tiring effort and unselhsh sacrifice have kept faith with those who have gone before while guiding those who are to follow them in the world beyond the war.
