EDITORIAL This is the book of our youth. Within its pages are stored all the pleasant memories of our schooldays. Yet, at graduation, there is the thought that so many among us are turning from these halls to something greater-the service of America, surrendering the richest part of life-Youth-and many of them will be making the greatest of all possible sacrifices-Life itself. Today, with the obstacles that civilization must face, this graduation seems so small a thing, but when the clouds have vanished we, the living, shall fulfill the realization of their dreams. In the future there will be much to forget. For so many there will be the horrors of war to erase, but there will be the purpose for which they fought which all of us must remember. Let us hope that if ever we lose sight of the sacrifices which our classmates and'friends have made, we may find in this book some remembrance of those who pledged themselves to America, and once again appreciate their struggle. for so long as we remember their battle for our peace, we cannot help but love Liberty the more-and that was their desire.
