I943 FOREWORD--Ever since the Class of '39 published the first edition of the CROSSROADS, Whitehaven has had an annual. In this year when so many normal school activities have been interrupted or canceled, the Class of '43 takes special pride in being able to keep faith by pre- senting this yearbook, a record of our activities and achievements. Literally at the crossroads of our lives, we realize that the parting of the ways this year will be more definite than usual. It is our sincere hope that in the years to come, no matter where you roam, this annual will be a cherished possession, recalling pleasant memories and happy associations. DEDICATION: To J. D. Johnson, David Garland, and Joe Patzsch, who served the Class of '39 on the first CROSSROADS staff as faith--as they 19452 Dofethi' McKnight, Class RePTe5eHt2'-tiVeS now serve their country and to all the other Whitehaven students in the Jlmml' Le-Ssetfefa President and CROSSROADS armed forces, we dedicate the CROSSROADS of 1943. editor?
