tl ,yi fwf17'f' ffi fl, ii W9 Wapakoneta, Ohio Dear Fellas and Girls: ln the days since Pearl Harbor, hundreds of high-school annuals have been dedicated to graduates in the service. They have paid tribute to your courage, your loyalty, and to the valiant way in which you are performing the arduous task of keeping us free. This year's Retrospect is really for you, but we aren't formally dedicating it to you. We believe there is some- thing very dear to all of us, something for which you are fighting that has more real meaning to you than words like freedom, or democracy, or justice, Let's dedicate this book to Wapakoneta, to Our Town. 'l'hat's really what you're fighting for, isn't it? For the chance to go swimming in the pool on a hot July day, to yell yourself hoarse at a football game with St. Marys, to ga skating on the river some crisp Sunday afternoon, to treat your best girl to a chocolate soda, or to crowd into the gym for a basketball game with New Knoxville? lsn't this what we're all fighting for, here and abroad, not for something so big it can't be touched upon, but for all the little things that make up our own private worlds.
