In order that this formative period of our lives may remain forever in our memories, we of the class of 1945 have completed this Flambeau. It is made in order that you who read it in the days to come might get a glimpse of those happy days spent here and those dear friendships formed here. Although the passage of years may make serious men and women of these light-hearted classmates, this annual will forever represent that wave of youth, filled with the joy of living and ambitions of the future. If after ten or fifteen years a browsing through this book brings back happy and endearing memories of the days spent at Sandy High School, then we shall feel that we have accomplished our aim.

3 %eme Music is one of our chief sources of enjoyment and entertainment. It is almost impossible to escape the influence of music in our daily living. From the day we are born to the day we cease to exist—from the lullaby to the funeral dirge—one constantly comes in contact with music. A haunting refrain or melody may make any atmosphere cheerful or gloomy. Likewise one may be elated or moved to tears by a particular type of music. Because of its importance in our daily lives, we the Class of 1945 have chosen music as the theme of our annual. We have looked upon our school year as a period during which a musical composition was written and produced—a final composition in our high school life. The administration and the faculty were the directors of this new addition to our lives. As Seniors we are soloists in this final step toward graduation. We leave the accompanists and we hope that they will use the rhythms and tempos to enrich and add variety to their future high school careers. Throughout the book we have applied various musical terms and song titles to the different phases of the past school year. We hope that in this annual we have seized some of the beauty and enchantment of that marvelous art. Flambeau 3
