Mrs. Mark Law Withzthe Editors A FAMOUS YEAR Within this school year of '44 and '45, the most important days of history will fall. Hitler and his followers will be eliminated. Many of our fighting men will re- turn while others go on to iight the Japanese, bringing the United Nations closer to ultimate victory. This will be an internationally famous year to be read about, studied, and remembered by stu- dent generation after student gen- eration in the future. So let us, in spite of inconven- iences inflicted by Wartime condi- tions, in spite of having to do without football and other items which have seemed so vital in the past, make this year one of the best years in Wessington Springs high school history. -A.W. ,f..............,......,........,........,...,........,........,.....,,.:.

I hope you lwon't mind bearing through this f year with meg my products, strict- ly off the cob. If sometimes it seems utterly impossible, remem- ber, I too must endure it with not more than a few rebellious words during staff meetings. N A few freshmen who are still N entitled to be slightly green think puppy love is a dog disease! You tell lem, seniors, Iam too bashful. By the way, the freshmen aren't the only ones who are green. How about it Dottie, Phyllis and Ruth? While running through a maga- zine the other clay I found this lit- tle poem: It's said a kiss is harmless, But I insistg The aftermath depends on Whom you've kissed!
