T the boys on the football and basketball squads and t their coach, Mr. Arthur Sand, we the Class cf 1940, dedicate with affection, pride and admiration this tenth edition of The Valley Legend. We are proud of their record—not only because it hAS been a winning one—but because they exemplify the ■’Spirit f the Game . Modest in success and generous in defeat, these boys, we feel, have really represented our school with good football, smooth basketball and clean sportsmanship. We congratulate them on their fine record, and for next year we wish them the rewards which they deserve.

It is with a deep feeling of gratitude that we pause to count our blessings. As we look about us we see troubled and perplexed people caught and carried along by the great forces of destruction. Most of them victims of circumstances from which there seems to be no escape. We are thankful to be in the United States where we have more or less been able to determine our own destinies. We are happy to be in that part of our country called Minnesota instead of the lands of our forefathers. We are appreciative of the fact that strong men and women came to a new land to establish homes. Otherwise, at this moment, we might be making a desperate attempt to stem the madness turned loose by the greed of man. We know that we are in a favorable position through no effort of our own. We are able to attend a school where forces working for the good of humanity are recognized, where idealism is still revered, and where each can develop in himself those qualities that make for a better life. For these opportunities we wish to thank our parents, the patrons of our school district, the Board of Education, the faculty and especially Mr. Hanson. His days made long by work and planning for our benefit have made our achool life full and pleasant.
