Astride his horse, silent, with arms outspread in humble recognition ot unworthiness, waits the familiar figure, which, for four years, has ap- peared on the covers of Shawnee-Mission's yearbooks. Has this lone figure never burned with a yearning desire to see what was within the covers of these yearbooks he has so long adorned? Ah yes such has been his wish and that wish now is about to be fulfilled Patient waiting has brought its own reward For this lone figure symbolizes the true Indian spirit that throbs in the veins of Shawnee Mission Lall it wancieriusr or wiiai you Bidding farewell to his tribal traditions and surroundings this lone i ure explores the pages of the l945 Indian Come along with him and do some exploring too is 'YQ Yr- x l ifl 51 X'-L 1 I I ' .

ln MGITIOTIBITI N THIS, our fourth year at war we realuze now more than ever what part our boys have performed When trouble came they went where duty called They have left famulnes and frnends and have glven thelr all' to theur country Thelrs was the supreme sacrufuce They pald If wlllrngly Short months or years ago they roamed our halls worked at our desks played on our courts and frelds laughed joked and sang and slde by sude wlth us they pledged alleglance to the Stars and Strlpes From the snow covered fuelds of the Aleutnans to the sands of the Atn can desert they went to the far corners of the earth to flght for us that we and others of our klnd may keep on laughing and playnng work Ing and smgmg, as In tsmes past and that we stlll may pledge alleguance to the same flag as before We luke to thunk that on some far off fleld lagoon or sea there as a part of Shawnee Mussaon Hugh School For surely each took somethlng of this school when he departed We belueve that what each took was somethrng good and that IH these moments that come to all when flashes of the past brang glnmpses of thlngs that are loved we who re mann wall fund new strength and vusnons for the hard days ahead We read the lusts of names some frlends some brothers some unknown to us and humbly acknowledge the debt we owe to those who have gone Gold stars mark their places but at the gold stars we halt an read :ng and are solemn and reverent And so may we resolve luke them to do our part and rn that resolve stnve here for what they fought for over there U 1 1 1 ' 1 H , . . .. , .
