Dear Tony, You were always such an expert apple polisher that l'm sure you'll like this picture ot our teachers. When all's said and done they're a darned good gang to know. You'll note a lot ot new faces. That's partly because Coach Young, Mr. Stock, Mr. Kingdom, and Mr. Legg are in the army and Mr. Potts and Mr. Luce are in the Navy. Two of the bunch aren't in the picture. Mr. Fedosky Wasn't around when the picture was snapped ibut he's with some ot the athletic snaps? and Mr. Russell didn't come until the second semester. There's a picture ot him alone. We'll label the gang just in case you could have forgotten. Standing lelt to right: First Row: Miss Mclieehan, Miss Temple, Miss Etter, Miss Iaacks, Mrs. Theodore, Mrs. Zygmunt, Miss K, Bmzzil. Second Row: Mr. Kiester, Miss H. Brazzill, Miss Merkoifer, Miss Schmidt, Miss Ihrig, Miss Moe, Mis. Canugfx, Mrs. Brown, Miss Spelbring. Third Row: Mr. Smith, Mr. Leonard, Miss Lynch, Miss Shemaitis, Miss Slocum, Miss Kessinqer, Miss McBriar, Mr. Christian. Fourth Row: Mr. Margrave, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Schulke, Mr. Elvin, Mrs. Garett, Mr. Petree, Mr. Lambkn, Mr. Davis. There they are, and I tor one am willing to bet there's not a better faculty to be found. l'll also bet you'll be the only gob in the Navy with that sort ot picture for a Pin-Up. Oodles ot good wishes, Ed.

you may be! Greetings, We have always thought that our T. F. athletes and band members looked nicer than any others in their uniforms and that our boys and girls were the friend- liest in the region. And now that so many of you are in the service, we feel that you are still the handsomest ones we know. When you come over to T. F. to say hello, we are mighty proud of you. We're anxiously awaiting the day when you come back to make up our overflow crowds at Carnivals and the en- thusiastic cheering sections at our games. Most sincerely, Anna Schmidt. At the left is our own Dean Schmidt, and at the right is that champion straightener-outer, Principal lim Leonard. Both have messages for us, To the Class of l944, Throughout the course of history there appear epochs in man's progress. lt is often difficult to recognize the ending of one stage and the beginning of another, but it appears that we lie at the threshold of a great new epoch. The members of the Class of l944, un- like the lost generation of 20 years ago, know that there is a definite place for them in the world's work. First, there is a war to be won after the war has been Won, a real peace must be achieved. This class must remember that a real peace requires something posi- tive, lt requires constant thought and effort, and above all it requires tolerance. No group, race, or nation is safe unless all groups, races, and nations are safe. lames H. Leonard From our ever cheerful office gals COITlG p Greeting to YOU in the service, wherever While you are away having many new experiences and adventures, things here at T. F. are moving along fairly well on schedule. Yes, there have been changes since you left, but along with the changes each year, many things remain the same eyou still need an excuse slip for the day you were needed at home twe believed youl and invitations are still issued for that party which is held from 3:40 to 4:30 daily. Even though our visit with you may be confined to a few minutes, we are al- ways happy when you take time from your precious furlough and stop in to visit your Alma Mater. Stop in to see us the next time you have a leave or furlough, won't you? BC'n U, Margaret and Dora
