IN MEMCRIAM C5029 During all but three months of the high school career of the class of 1945 America has been at war. The members of this class have watched their neighbors, their friends, their brothers and sisters and in a few instances their fathers take their places in the ranks of the fighting forces of their country. They have seen the stars, scattered over the large service flag unveiled at West Valley for the first time in 1942, increase in number until now 636 students are represented on the crowded surfaces of two huge fiags. They have been saddened at the in- creasing tempo with which the color of the stars has changed to gold. They fre- quently have been sobered by the thought that before another graduation shall have come a majority of their own class will be represented by additional stars upon these fiags. It is appropriate that these Hags should be so placed as to dominate the cor- ridors of the school. It is also symbolic. For the feelings which these fiags sym- bolize have largely dominated the educational career of this class. These flags hang as symbols of the determination of that part of America which is West Valley to let nothing interfere with the prosecution of the war until the last enemy of liberty and freedom has been destroyed. These flags hang, not so much as me- morials themselves, but as symbols of the true memorials which students and faculty build with their lives and deeds. Not with words, not with tokens, but with the fruits of true democratic living would we, the faculty and students of West Valley, pay tribute to the sacrifice of time, of health, of career, of life itself so freely made by those who once thronged our halls as students.
