DEDICATION To the boys in all our Armed forces in the air, on the land, and on the sea, who protect our shores and other shores, who uphold the principles of democracy and who represent us in battle, we, the Whitonian Staff of 1942, greatefully dedi- cate this book. The courage of these men of America and the sacrifices they make in behalf of Democracy shall be forever engraved upon our memories. Life in a Miniaiure Democracy-Qur School Since Life Magazine has gained such vast nation-wide, even world-wide popularity in the short time in which it has been published, we realize that pictorial-journalism is what the people want. Their enthusiasm for Life, with its abundance of photographs, has caused it to be the most looked-at magazine in our school library. As the old proverb goes One picture is worth a thousand words, so we Americans who believe in stream-lining everything from literature to the automobile, make pictures take the place of words. Since Whitehouse High School is a little America in itself, the students are typical Americans who love American things. Our school might be called a miniature democracy: We have a Chief Executive four superintendentl, a Supreme Court four school boardl, a Chief Justice four county superintendentj, a Vice-President four high school principalj, a Senate four teachersj, and a House of Representatives four student councilj, and last but not least We, the People Cus kidsj who enjoy a varied life at school. Within the covers of this book, you will find pictures of it all. Behold, we give you the Whitonian! Incidentally-if there is any similarity between this 1942 Whitonian and the currently popular Life Magazine, it's quite intentional-honestly I We are proud of our cover, and why not, for we have never had one like it before. Through the latest methods in making book covers, we are able to make OUR Whitonian quite unusual and pleasing to the eye. If you find the book a bit thinner than usual, remember we had to conserve paper for defense. We, the Seniors, hope that you'll find the book as filled with goodness as have been our years spent at Whitehouse School. Behold-this is the entrance to our school! Yes, its a very important door because we have passed through it daily for several years. Even after our graduation, we will still think of this as our entrance, and our building, for it is a part of us and our love for the American way of Life. I

Our Chief Executive Mr. McCabe's Message: Splashed over the pages of this Annual of 1942, is a panorama -of pictures describing your school career. 'l'he bright colors of the cover serve to remind us of the loyalties and friendships of school days. Should this volume in some small measure bring to you a realization that school is more than studies, more than activities, more than work and play, then the work of the Whitonian Staff will notfhave been done in vain. It must impress upon you this one important fact, that School is LIFE. May it ever serve to remind that it is your duty to face LIFE'S PROBLEMS with the courage and loyalty of those who fight with McArthur on Bataan Peninsula. The vision of what tomorrowmay bring .is clouded with uncertainty. Listen 'then to the words of an ancient poet: The Salutation of the Dawn Listen to the salutation of the dawn. For yesterthy is already a dream, Look to this day! And tomorrow is only a visiong Forlit is life, the very life of life. But today well lived In its brief course lie all the verities Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And realities of your existenceg And every tomorrow a vision of hope. The bliss of growthg Look well, therefore, to this day! The glory of action: Such is the salutation of the dawn. The splendor of beauty. -From the Sanskrit.
