'gwgfvwg it LOCKING BACK lt is not a joyous task to View the world today. To relate the myriad flares of resounding events is a project in itself, a project requiring an ever alert mind and a mind able to interpret things for their intrinsic value. We are not attempting to interpret events, but to mention and record a few of the paramount happenings of our universe. Opening the school year, September brought about the luminous faces of 180 anxious students about to lunge headlong into the coming activities of an eventful school year. The first months passed swiftly, giving Palm Springs High an excellent opportunity to reveal her concealed athlelic ability. We had plunged into several successful endeavors in both social and scholastic achievements, then as we lingered in a compact little world of our own, unaware of the perilous events leading up to the fateful December 7, it was upon us . . . WAR . . . clutching with claws of death and destruction seeking world domination. Fate.again had her way, as the axis powers-joined hands against the allied forces of the democracies. Hitler and his associates trudged on through Russia until winter stepped in forcing his war machine to retreat, also giving the brave defenders an opportunity to rebuild the battered army. Mean- while Italy had surrendered all powers to the Nazis . . . sitting back as her countrysides were battered by British bombers. Nazi U boats continued operation off our coast, thus bringing the War zones closer to our homes. Suddenly we began to forsee the disastrous fate soon to be bestowed upon us . . . then these realizations became facts. We Americans immediately buckled down to the task before us, knowing if we worked vigorously and long enough, ultimate victory would be inevitable. Thousands literally ran to the closest recruiting stations to volunteer services in any field, thus the U.S.O., W.A.D.C., A.L.V.S., and O.C.D., were formed, improving army and civilian morale. Americans were called upon to sacrifice . . . sugar, rubber, gasoline, a halt was put on the sale of new automobiles, radios, household appliances . . . taxes zoomed skyward, bond sales were instituted on a tremendous scale, while across the sea severe changes were enforced on the allied policies of government. Even with such drastic changes taking place, putting the world in a hopeless turmoil, the American way of life survived. Composers were inspired to Write beautiful ballads such as, The White Cliffs of Dover. Patriotic mottoes and songs such as Keep 'em Flying, Remember Pearl Harbor! and Any Bonds Today? brought forth the showing of true Americanism. Broadway maintained her high standard, with one smash hit followed by another. Critics raved over Let's Face lt, My Sister Eileen, and Arsenic and Old Lace. The Morale of the Country depended greatly on the upkeep of American womanhood.. Military ensembles were emphasized, as California under war clouds continued holding the fashion spotlight. Cotton hose revolutionized the market as priceless silk hose was soon to be a thing of the past. t Scientific methods were being diligently expended in the quest of much needed synthetic rubber, also nylon, and other essentials to modern life, which are now being banned by belligerent conditions. Perhaps America did continue in her gay way, but deep in her heart she knew the seriousness of the situation confronting her. Perhaps she was con- fused and shocked at first but now she has settled back, realizing there will be defeats, transports will be bombed, industrial plants reduced to ruins and her boys ruthlessly slaughtered, but at the same time assured that with the dynamic American people and their dauntless patriotic spirit supporting her, nothing shall or can surpass her might!
