America God built Him a continent of glory and filled it with treasures untold: He studded it with sweet flowing fountains and traced it with long winding streams: He carpeted it with soft rolling prairies and columned it with thundering mountains, He graced it with deep shadowed forests and filled them with song. Then He called unto a thousand people and summoned the bravest among them. They came from the end of the earth, each bearing a gift and a hopeg The glow of adventure was in their eyes, and in their hearts the glory of hope. And out of the bounty of earth and the labor of men, Out of the longing of hearts and the prayer of souls, Out of the memory of ages and hopes of the world, God fashioned a nation in love, blessed it with purpose sublime, and called it AMERICA. .Wabbi Jdver

7 urnfnnrh QKMID murmuring brooks and the twitter of birds stand the magnificent fir trees for which our state is famous. Acres of these fine evergreens carpet the mountains of our Oregon. In this year, 1942, our government is in desperate need of lumber- lumber for the cantonments, battleships, airplanes, and official buildings. Were it not for the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the defense of America could not be so eiective. We have chosen this great industry as the theme for our Whirlwind Annual this year. As a feature, we are presenting Paul Bunyan, the mythical herculean lumberjack who performed all kinds of impossible feats to further his chosen vocation. The insert pages and written material of this book combine the legends of Paul Bunyan with the reality of forestry today. As the western sun sets on another year here at Albany High School, we recall the pleasant memories of friendships with teachers and fellow students. Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree- A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast: A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray: A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hairg Upon whose bosom snow has laing Who intimately lives withfraing Poems are made by foolsllike me, But only God can make a tree.
