They owe him a true debt of gratitude for his untiring efforts to make their last year at U. High a memorable one. Friendly, understanding, and with a broad viewpoint, Mr. Robbins rated A-1 with the entire student body. All of U. High, both students and faculty, are sorry that Mr. Robbins will not be back next year, but sincere wishes for success in his new position go with him.

0 . G. Letter And non at hit detk. 7o the Se+tiosti. oj 1944 A few short days after this 1944 Bisbila becomes your own. you. Class of 1944. will be U. High alumni. Think for a moment of the four or six years spent in U. High's halls and library, in classrooms with U. High teachers. Do the events seem no longer to be part of your life — but memories? There were lunches in Shev-lin (or Dayton's), a coke at the Varsity, a football championship, the book you read for Miss Handlan, that session in the office with the administration. These things are not memories. They were your life and your education. In Harvard's or Vassar's halls, in a P-40 cockpit, or on a destroyer s deck you will solve that equation, pull out of that dive, or launch that torpedo better for the years at U. High. It is in this faith, that you will do a better job for your years with us, that your teachers have worked, and in which I shall soon hand you your diplomas. So remember us with affection. We have done our best for you, and now we wish that the best may continue to be yours. G. LESTER ANDERSON 9+tjjCSimcitia+t Se uUee.
