Shortages of film, paper, and finance were among our chief worries. Despite these and other troubles, the work of preparing a yearbook forged steadily ahead. We feel, now that the work is done, a sense of pride in having been able to continue a school tradition during a year of historic national crisis and achievement. We were not alone in our difficul- ties. War brought to the community an acute manpower shortage. High school students were asked to help harvest the crops, and they did. Almost every student found his way into some sort of essential employment. When the crops were harvested they went back to school. The good work did not end there. The fourth war loan was inaugurated, and the high school met its guota. Now that the end of the school year has come, we can look back and say that we have helped shorten the dis- tance to victory. -Contents- Administration Classes Activities Sports Features X' 5 .,i
