Dedication W, changes the lives of all Americans, but most of all it changes the lives of young Americans. War shatters the dreams of youth and interrupts their study, fun and development; yet young people are willing to forget their personal ambitions and private lives to take part in a greater struggle. Victory will be won by the courage, resourcefulness, and eager spirit of young Americans, fighting to preserve the rights and privileges which they have learned to treasure dearly. Some of our high school friends have already suspended their education to join the armed forces or to help in war production. Realizing their sacrifices and sharing their ideals, we, the class of 1943 humbly dedicate our yearbook to those members of our class who are already participating and to those who will participate in our fight for the American way of life.

The days go slow bur the years go fast. Seniors realize the truth of these words. So that they and their undergraduate friends may have a perma¬ nent, tangible record of their years together, this yearbook has been created to show the panorama of student life at Wellesley High in 1943. On the TITLE PAGE appears an appropriate FRONTISPIECE. Our sentiments and ideals as loyal American citizens are expressed in the FORE¬ WORD and DEDICATION. The enumeration of those hard-working souls who composed the YEAR¬ BOOK STAFF is followed by this TABLE OF CONTENTS. Our PRINCIPAL and FACULTY have di¬ rected SENIORS and UNDERCLASSMEN through a year of constant change. In AUTUMN we returned to classes, outwardly reluctant but actually glad to continue our studies; by the time WINTER brought its cold and snow, we were busily involved in many activities; when SPRING’S warm weather finally arrived, we were engaged in completing our year’s work and planning the future. The war has increased the importance of our academic learning, has limited our extra-curricular activities, and has given us a more thoughtful atti¬ tude toward the future; yet the many traditional FEATURES recorded here are symbolic of the good times enjoyed by American boys and girls.
