For lesson dril Shattered Dreams ears ago the class of '43, with high ideals set out to equip themselves intellectually, and spiritually for successful careers of their own choice. vvever, a vast change has spread over the world and June 1943, will show picture than did our dreams in 1939. Our country's cause is looking n youth-American girlhood to fill vacancies that in ordinary times would hold. Occupations or professions which were unknown to the 'past are today open and waiting for our time, energy, and skill. e hour has struck. We pack away our happy care-free life.

God willing, od and country is not a beautiful dream, an idle fantasy, but a stern led into our hearts and minds from our early school life until we have passed ouxl iinal tests. Truly God is our love's first duty, But thou, native Flag, its second. Jean Piroth i
