YOUTH AND THE FUTURE Youth is sometimes dazed by the many evidences of civilization crashing around us. Yet today, as always, youth is urged to blaze new trails. Souls of every age have advanced from the known to the unknown. Thomas Carlyle always insisted that we would be heroes or cowards. To face the future with con- fidence and tread life's unknown paths with courage is the hero's part. As you chart life’s course have a dominating purpose in life. A purpose is to a life what a rudder is to a ship; it gives direction and meaning. When you leave school prepare for a life of service to mankind. It was Lincoln who said: 'I will study and get ready and some day my chance will come.’ The world is not ending: frontiers arc not gone. The future calls for noble living and courageous actions. “Be strong! We arc not here to play, to dread, to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle. Face it! Tis God’s gift. 7 A. L. Donley

J. ALBERT STARKEY iriiiratinn (1 0 MR. J. ALBERT STARKEY, a willing friend and adviser to all who sought his help, a true scientist and excellent teacher, we dedicate this hook. Vineland High School would not have been the same without his engaging smile, his pleasant way of demanding passes to wander through the halls during Activity Period, and his kindly sense of humor. His friendly personality and his keen ability as an instructor of chemistry have endeared him to all of us, and he will always be remembered whenever we graduates of 1945 reminiscingly recall our high school days.

Afommiatratiim MR. JACK PENNINO Dean of Boys Ocean City Summer School Temple University Columbia College Rutgers University University of Pennsylvania—School of Industrial Arts, A. B. “World War II finds us in a global struggle involving machines, or science and technology the like of which man has scarcely dreamed or ever thought to prepare. Witness the planless haste with which we have poured out not millions, but billions of dollars in a frantic attempt to train people for this great conflict for a three dimensional battlefield. “The ultimate peace to follow will usher in an America and a world where the results of education will be used everywhere by the com- mon man. A truly ‘golden age’ is in prospect, and I am sure that the class of 194? is well pre- pared to meet it. “I congratulate you.” Jack Pennino MISS MARY ROSSI Principal College of St. Elizabeth, B. S. Columbia University, M. A. “During your four years in high school we have tried to impress upon you that character and personality arc as important as school sub- jects and the power to earn a living. We have tried to help you to become the kind of young men and young women who will be success- ful and happy because they arc of some posi- tive good in the world. “Now that it is time for you to ‘go forth to serve we hope you arc ready and willing to be of real service to the world, willing and able to give more than you take, thoughtful of others, and considerate of your fellow men. (Consideration for others is one of the greatest needs of the world today. We hope you will contribute your share to carry on the fine traditions of Vineland High School.” Mary E. Rossi 8
