- For the past four years the students of Henry B. Whitehorne High School have attended school with a war raging about them in the outside world. Al- though none of them have seen actual combat, they have made countless sacrifices for themselves and families on the homefront. Many of our boys have left the portals of our school to join the forces of Uncle Sam. These boys and girls are our pride and joy, and they are bring- ing a bit of V.H.S. to every corner of the world. This year the Shadows staff is employing a military theme throughout the yearbook. The cover starts the theme, and the book follows it on through. The staff is proud to have a military theme for the edition but it is their most sincere wish that in the very near future all military ideas will be forgotten.

The big day has arrived for the Class of 1945, and the next step has been taken in a great ad- venture. On the attitude and example of the senior class depends the success of the school year. They lead the way. Your class and the school, have selected wisely, as your leaders have done a great job, and the faculty have been delighted with your conduct, scholarship, and sportsmanship. Your home, school, and community have tried to help prepare the way for greater things. May the influence of your earlier life fashion a course that future events may change slightly, but always help push you on to a pleasant and successful life. Best wishes to the Class of 1945! WILLIAM H. SAMPSON, Principal. ADMINISTRATION General Headquarters and M .P s Following the last war, young people were thinking of the adventures ahead in postwar days, hopeful that we should never again be plunged into war. Despite our high hopes, we successively passed through a mild depression, a period of wild speculation, then a severe panic and pro- longed depression, ending with the present war. You young men and women of today are fac- ing the same hardships and vicissitudes of life. It is important that the adventurous spirit endure in each generation. With your youth, strength, and courage this war will be ended, then the grand adventure of striving for a better world will be yours. VINCENT GEIGER, Supervising Prirzripal. Ji
