Don't sell America short—we still have our good farm lands, our vast natural resources, our well equipped factories, more of the world's supply of gold than ever—over 130 million people are anxious and willing to consume our products—and we still believe there is plenty of business for the firms and individuals that roll up their sleeves and go after it like they mean it— and make a special effort to convince the other fellow that we are not going to give the country to the Germans or to the Japs, and these United States are going right ahead—new deal or no new deal! —Author Unknown ★ We have room in our country for but one flag—the stars and stripes. We have room for but one loyalty to the United States. There can be no 50-50 Americanism. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else. —Theodore Roosevelt ★ The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings and successes. —George Washington ★ The Declaration of Independence is the grandest, the bravest and the profoundest political document that was ever signed by the representatives of the people. —Robert Ingersoll ★ My concern is not whether God is on our side; my great concern is to be on God's side. —Abraham Lincoln

 BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION Well, we finally made it. At first, it was no school until Monday, then more infantile paralysis and still no school! We watched the papers from week-end until week-end. For awhile it seemed like the same old story, No school until ? ? By the middle of October, we were again in the swing of things—glad to be back in Ferndale High! We couldn't omit saying something about the public address system. That unforgettable, Good afternoon, faculty and students of Ferndale High. With this now-famous phrase Mr. Keller began his announcement to the faculty. EXECUTIVELY .................... page 11 Weren't we lucky whenever assembly ran over time, or some long-winded speaker forgot to stop! We still recall the moans and cheers when Mr. Keller said, Return to your fourth class. MENTALLY ....................... page 19 Do you remember the day you walked sheepishly into the unknown world enclosed within the walls of Ferndale High? You were a youngster in knee trousers or in short dresses. By now, you are aware that things have changed —that you have grown up. You now find yourself outstanding. INDIVIDUALLY .................... page 35 Did you watch that smile break over the face of some brawny fellow as he heard himself mentioned as one of the traveling squad? PHYSICALLY ...................... page 51 Don't forget those items we put on: the Senior Play, the Reception, the dances, or the Spring Concert. It was both fun and hard work planning our monthly newspaper and the school annual. For each person, however, it providing something worthwhile. SOCIALLY ..............................page 69 These people must report to detention tonight! A chuckle went round the room when someone pulled a boner. Candy bars, wax paper, dances, students to the office, admit slips, lost and found articles, all meant something in the life of a student. SCHOOL PATTER ...................... page 76
