Card Text: Manzanar Relocation Center, message from the project director of the high school yearbook: "In years to come, when the war is over, and peace has returned to the world, people may say to you, 'What was Manzanar?' Then I hope you may say that Manzanar was a wartime city that sprang up from the sands of the desert of Inyo and returned to desert with the end of the war. It was the largest city between Los Angeles and Reno. It was a city serving a wartime purpose where people lived in peace and good will, where there was a school system that taught young citizens the ideas of American citizenship, where schools were of as high a rank as other California schools, and where students dedicated their lives to the American way of living. I hope you may say that Manzanar was an experience worth living, where the important realities of life were made clear and where there was time and opportunity to prepare for participation in the work of winning the peace based on tolerance, understanding and good will. The graduates of Manzanar have a great contribution to make in determining the kind of world that it is to become after the war. Ralph P. Merritt, Project Director." 1944.
