W, 1 ' '51i'?!'f!fl1fk I n Memoriam It is diflicult to describe adequately our sentiments con- cerning the graduates of Summit High School who have al- ready made the supreme sacrihce in the present struggle. Death in the prime of life seems a terrible thing to all of us, but there is no better way to die than in the service of our country. In this War against oppression and cruelty we are fighting for something Hner and bigger than ourselves. We are proud to salute you men who have had the cour- age and faith to fight so gallantly and well against the great forces of evil abroad today. You will not be able to go back to your loved ones when the victory is Wong but you are not alone, no, you will never be alone as long as free, liberty- loving men are alive to honor you and keep you always in their hearts.

Page 2 DEDICATIO X To those of Summit High School who are today serving in the armed forces of our country, we dedicate this book. We do this knowing that it is a small gesture to those who, as members of our armed forces, are prepared to give and sacri- fice so much to their country. But with pride in having known them and as a small expression of the esteem we have for them, we pay this tribute. May the country whom they serve, always honor them as that country now is honored by their service. In that hope and with love for them all, we dedicate the pages and the spirit of this book. -'F

vw -M The Top-Summit High's Year Book-has been published since 1921. Succeeding generations of students in later years have undoubtedly refreshed their memories of school days through the pages of their annuals. The decision to continue publication this year was not made without due consideration to the place of such an activity in a high school during War time. It seemed to students and teachers that so long as war priorities permitted, the publication of a year book was a real service to the school. Within the covers of this book, we have the current record of Summit High School during war time. To be sure many of the activities of normal times are pictured, but one sees also reflected here the new direction in curriculum and activities consistent with the national effort, and one sees also in its pages tribute to those sons of Summit High School who are making the supreme sacrilice for their country. May this 1943 Top, therefore, serve its ovvners not only as a souvenir of high school life but also as a reminder of these stern years when all of us, individuals and institutions, are bending every effort to help Win the War.
