RODMAN PUBLIC LIBRARY 378.771 C557C.1 v.19 MR ALLIANCE R00 The Chronicle. F ^\lCff^> ,# cssn Keep Them Flying We Dedicate to Tomorrow We, the graduating classes of 1945, in this our year of glorious yet solemn victory, do dedicate ourselves and our Chronicle to a future of peace—a world unmarred by the ter­ rors of wars and tyrants; one which upholds the principles of true democracy which we have been taught to love and cherish since childhood, a world in which people will not have forgot­ ten how to laugh—a world about which man has been dream­ ing from time immemorial. Yet in our triumph and eagerness for the future we must not forget those boys who will not be present to partake of this unbelievable peace. It is only fitting, therefore, that we, in memory of those many valiant boys, do dedicate ourselves to the task of preserving this long desired peace.

A Message From the Superintendent— In this, our year of victory, we look forward to a better America and a better world; an America which has her present desirable qualities and has developed additional desirable ones; an America which serves her people and which has a friendly interest in all the people of the world; an America which is free from fear of attack and has no desire to attack any ether nation. America is being well served by those in her military forces but America is also served by those who give her intelligent leadership, those who vote intelligently and those who serve their community faithfully. A good citizen is continually endeavoring to be a better citizen. Your school presents to its students the necessary tools and offers to them a fund of information which, if accepted by them, will make America more nearly the country we desire. The tools are the ability to read with understand­ ing and to express one's self with clarity. The information will cause them to love America with understanding, to serve her loyally, and to recognize propaganda against her interests promptly. The America we look forward to is your America! May you help to keep her great and good! From the Principal— Victory on the battlefronts of the world should mean a new era of opportunity for young people. Our armed forces present us with a new world. What we do with that world is in your hands. Your elders largely failed to grasp the peace following the victory of the first war. This victory will be a victory by young people and our peace can only be won by the young people of today. Seek your place in life with the thought of this obligation fixed firmly in your mind. This is the challenge in this year of victory. Say It and Write It Correctly Back row, left to right: Miss Geddert, Mrs. Pfouts, Misses McMillan, Hillman, Walker, Mrs. Stanley.
