This year, though, nothing deserves so much honor as the courage and sacrifice of the former students of Tama High who are fighting all over the world. Nothing else is so important to us since our school activities are a part of the American way of life which they are battling to preserve. To the Tama- hawks in the armed forces overseas, in gratitude greater than mere words can express, we dedicate this 1944 Iuka. str 122' 'BI 'DZ 431' 61' 151' if 42

Zrrewvrd Home Again, those are the two words that mean everything to our fight- ing men overseas, those to whom you have dedicated this 1944 Iuka. They'll do their part all right and do it well. They've had good training in the Army and the Navy, but they had something else, something you can get right here in Tama High. Yes, you have attended a few classes and participated in a few extra curricular events, won several honors, but if you haven't learned that art of SELF DISCIPLINE, that primary necessity of a democratic people, much of your education will go for naught. Discipline in the public schools of a Democracy should never be a forced discipline, but rather a voluntary discipline where each student has a deep conviction as to his duties and his responsibilities, and an eager willingness to assume them. Our boys over- seas know a lot more about freedom than we do: they know how hard it is to win, how easy to lose, and that there is nothing more worth defending once you have won it. But freedom is a gift to those who do not abuse it. So let us all on the school front shoulder our duties and responsibilities with such a spirit that we will show that we also know the value of what we have here and what a privilege it will be to have a part in this country's future when the boys come Home Again. BEN IONES.
