☆ ENSIGN HAROLD ZIMMER, U.S.N.R. Gave his life while on duty aboard a destroyer somewhere in the Atlantic theater, November 25, 1945. 1 i t E hereby dedicate this book to Ensign Harold Zimmer, M former teacher and coach, and to those men of George Rogers Clark who have given their lives that we in America might remain free. They gave their best to their country cheerfully and uncomplainingly, following the tradition of the first Pioneers. There is but one way for us to try to repay the tremen¬ dous debt we owe them; that is to make America a land to which they would have liked to return, a country which has not forgotten the ideals of freedom for which they died. They would have wished a land of free enterprise,where men may rise by what they can do, not by the influential friends they have. They would have wanted a government that was truly representative of the people and a people aware of the responsibility they owed that government. They would have wished a world where all men lived in peace; there was too much hate in the world they knew. Only by striving to achieve such a world, may we express our gratitude for their sacrifice. We must not fail them. P ege Three

to you Pioneers The Pioneers of George Rogers Clark have gone forth to war. And what could be more expressive of their fight¬ ing spirit than their school song? With this thought in mind we have chosen it as the theme of the 1944 Powder Horn, knowing that it exemplifies the true Pioneer char¬ acter—courage, love of country, and the adventurous spirit. This book, then, is intended to show that spirit in the stu¬ dents of our school. We wish to thank Herbert McLaughlin, photographer; Charles Delaney, printer; Pontiac Engraving; and the S. K. Smith Company for their kind cooperation. We especially want to thank Nilo Hovey, band director, for permission to print Go You Pioneers.” May the Pioneer spirit continue to lead the students of Clark to greater victories!
