jmcwmri Hello Johnnie, Yes, another HSpotlight has emerged from the press. Another year in C.C.S. has passed from the present into the past and the Seniors of '44 have cndeavored to give you in this book a few cherished memories. l have a copy of the '44 Spotlight here, Johnnie. Let's look through it before the bell rings. It really isn't much different from previous year books. Each year has its graduating class . . . its juniors, sophs, and frosh. Each year has its senior play, school paper, year book . . . But, Johnnie, this year book portrays the happy and sad, carefree and serious, moments of this par- ticular school year. Here is an average day: Bus No. 4 just pulls in . . . LaMont saunters up stairs . . , 'Ll have several announcements sounds forth . . . Miss Davis jots down a few names . . . a one-man filibuster in English IV . . . typewriters pound . . . Veni, Vide Vici- translate . . . 'aliight dress-Count offw . . . Cail sleeps in History . . . Gang- way to the cafeteria . . . Wow! What a Chemistry test . . . the last mouthful of ice cream slides down . . . a test tube smashes to atoms . . . Boys cook apple sauce Girls make knife-holders 'cBoogie, Woogie Brocoli blares out In Chorus, uHome Again ...Ernie stays to write that 2000th w0rd...the team has a workout after school . . . Johnnie walks Betty to the bus . . . a big game tonight . . . the crowd roars . . . Jackies, Winnie, Peg and Norma lead the cheering . . . another victory . . . the Hgangw meets at the diner , . . Coney lslandg then Croscutt's . . . uSee you tomorrow . . . She's a swell kid . . . he's a lot of fun. What should I have done differently today? . . . forget it . . . on earth peace. We're lucky Johnnie to have a year book like this . . . lucky to live in America, to go to such a wonderful school. They call this freedom,', Johnnie. That's what we're fighting for-Hsweet land of libertyfl O

what ia, an, 66 HAT ls An American? -is a sixty-four dollar interrogation. An American is a million and one characters with a million and one characteristics melted into one swell fellow, and he's definitely hu- man. An American cherishes his freedom above all else. That's why today he is either plain HC. I. Joe with a wail of a wallop or Hfiosie, the Riveterw with a wail of a production record. Liberty is a top word in his vocabulary and when the Nazi hordes and the Japanese monkeys threatened this liberty you had a mad American who immediately set about to change his enemies' mind. An American likes nothing better than to shift for himself and when the world is Hhunky-dory instead of Htopsy-turvey he has a job that he really does up Mbrownn to earn the good old 'fdumaw to support the wife and children who are really tops, An American adjusts himself rapidly to every new obstacle, yet keeps that hearty old laugh. An American demands perfection in his associates, himself, and whatever he comes in contact with. That's why he moves at such an ungodly rate to keep abreast the world and to equal his high stand- ard of living. Yet, he slows his accelerated pace to enjoy nature, to find out what happened to '6Dick Tracy, take in a ball game or a movie, or listen to Jack Bennyis Hcornf' An American puts a great deal into life and enjoys doing sog he's doing a thousand things at once. An American is that million and one characters, yet, he's one in a mil- lion. He's independent and freedom loving, has his faults but his fine traits overrule. I can expostulate onthe subject for an indefinite period of time but its to no avail for you know what an American is and so do I, for we're both Americans and proud of it. -Norman Coe. 6
