The Qriole lllustrators are a group ot young, talented artists, who have the duty and privilege ot illustrating the yearbook. This year under the very capable direction ot a new sponsor, Mr. l. Lee Peters, and against numerous discouraging obstacles, thoy have completed what is probably one ot the finest bits ot work ever to leave 213. Only after long tedious hours of thought- tul planning and countless re-sketching did this comparatively small group consider its work complete. Particular attention should be paid the clever, three dimensional designed cover, the expert work ot the club's president and leading artist, Robert Kubiak. Credit tor the imaginative and attractive cuts that grace the pages ot the book goes to George Garbus and Robert Kubiak. The creators ot the witty and hu- morous cartoons are Rudolph Stolar, Elmer Miller, and Robert Kubiak. The group is likewise responsible tor the neat arrangement ot the composite pages. Therefore to you, the lllustrators, and to you, Mr. Peters, tor your tireless ettorts and excellent accomplishments, we the graduating class express our sincere thanks and congratulations tor a task well done! 9

fi' . I TO THE MEMBERS OF THE IAN- UARY AND IUNE CLASSES OF 1945: lt is a real pleasure at any time to congratulate some one who has achieved success in reaching a worthwhile objective. However, when l consider the tremendous historical significance of the e- vents which have already trans- pired in this year, nineteen hun- dred forty-five, and realize the un- usual nature of the years compris- ing your secondary school lives, l am of the opinion that perhaps you deserve a bit more in the way of congratulations than is usually meted out at graduation , time. l No classes which have preced- ed yours have ever faced such a MR. STERLING steady barrage of war time activ- ities in addition to their normally required assignments. Wliile it may he true that former classes would have acquitted them- selves as well as you have done, this in no way detracts from the many things you have actually accomplished. For these splendid achievements l sincerely congratulate you. Now, what about the future? Well, two roads seem to beckon me as l project my think- ing inlo that vast unknown and l believe they will peckon each of you, too. The one road seems to lead in the direction of aloofness from affairs, both domestic and foreign: in the di- rection of cvomplacencyy in the direction of nation-wide philanthrOI3YJ and in the direction of negalive goals, the realization of which would seem to be like patching that which might well he in need of replacement. The other road leads up-grade, to be sure, but it is defi- nitely pointed toward the great ideals of the ages and particularly toward the fundamental unfinished husiness of American democracy. Would you not prefer to travel the second road and at least help to perfect the demo- cratic structure which though imperfect as mankind itself, seems to hold forth a helping hand to more people than any other social order now extant. I sincerely believe you would, and the hope that you will succeed in your efforts as no other generation before you has done makes our parting a hit less poignant than might otherwise he. Witli very host wishes for lives of real service, l remain Very sincerely yours, Chester L. Sterling Principal 10
