Since Ordo Romae started our Service Flag, stars have been added until now there are seven hundred and three that represent those Washingtonians who are dedicating their lives to free this world from tyranny and destruction. We look on the stars of this flag, seventeen of which are gold for those who have given their utmost, and hope that somehow in the world of tomor- row, we may do our share to make this a world more worthy of those repre- sented on our flag.

DEDICATION We are being trained here in this exceptional institution to enter into life well prepared to meet its exigencies. To the graduating sen- iors the future is especially important—so important as to risk their lives for it. As to what we will have to meet in the Tomorrow one can only guess, and plan. Many astounding inventions have been cre- ated and developed during this present holocaust, but in the peace to follow these instruments of destruction will be changed to those for much better use. These will be used to better humanity and not to destroy it. It is for us the living rather to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us.” It is for our generation to make the peace a long and lasting one. It is to Tomorrow, a better Tomorrow that the January '45 class dedicates this LENS. APPRECIATION In every endeavor there are a few whose work goes without recog- nition although they have spent much time and effort. To Mr. Bridges, the printer; Mr. Peterson, the engraver; and Mr. Simon, the photogra- pher, we express our deepest appreciation. To our advisors Mr. Green, Miss Oberg, and Miss Ilgner for their invaluable help and to those countless students who have contributed so unselfishly, we offer many thanks. Without their timely advice and cheerful aid, our task would not have been so successfully completed.
