He never failed to have a pleasant word to say, and the memory of which lingered after he left. Never a frown seen upon his face—he was always smiling, so kind and so courageous. By his example he gave us the slogan “Courageous Cheer.” May we not in silent prayer, every morning in unison, use this thought: “Almighty God, give ‘Courageous Cheer' to all of us—especially to all mothers who have and will have boys in the service of this great and glorious country—that we may carry on as the boys would have us to do. Sustain these noble mothers, Heavenly Father. Give them the strength and the faith that will conquer in the great crisis of our country. Be with our boys and may they know and realize that we are not going to fail them. “In silence do we pray, knowing that thou wilt answer those of a contrite heart.'' He lost la’s life when the Battleship, Arizona, was sunk at Pearl Harbor. To his memory the class of 1942 dedicates the Sapulpan. THE ARIZONA BOARD O F E D U C A TtI O N Mr. C. H.

Man is constantly striving to improve upon Nature. That he has already made considerable progress is evidenced by recent developments in the plant and animal kingdoms, d'he age of metals seems to be passing into the age of plastics. These wonders have taken place only through the improvement of Man’s mind. Man, in addition to his efforts to improve the world about him, must recognize a greater necessity—the improvement of Man himself. Medicine and surgery have done much for his physical welfare, but the paramount need is for mental improvement. With all our cultural and intellectual accomplishment, we have failed to bring enough light to the mind of Man to enable him to live satisfactorily or to think without error. I suggest that you consider the undreamed possibilities in this field. JAMES L. PRINCE Page Twelve PRINCIPAL Mr. Cari. A. Ransbarger We, the graduating class of ’42, wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Ransbarger, our beloved principal, for his guiding hand and patience.

Charles Hasley Page Forty-one FREEDOM — YOUR FRIEND AND MINE My theme is not at all an unfamiliar one, for the exponents of a worthwhile cause are numerous and their voices are always to be heard wherever controversy arises. Throughout the history of the universe, man has clamored against dictatorial powers although this particular phrase is relatively new. Now I, too, am adding my weak, though fervent, entreaty to the myriads which you already have heard. Since Hitler’s first conquest, there have been those who prophesied that the United States would ultimately come into the open conflict with the German nation for the second time. Those people were scorned and hooted at, labeled “war mongers” by even the most broadminded citizens. Those critical, shortsighted persons were no doubt extremely surprised when war was declared against the Axis powers. They should have seen by the line of Hitler’s conquests that he would not stop with any mere pittance; a greedy person is seldom satisfied with a small share in any pie. Hitler was resolved to dip his fingers deep and pull out, not one, but many plums, each and every one gory with the blood of innocent thousands of people. The German leader may aptly be compared to the city slicker who comes to the country towns to spread before the admiring yokels his wonderful tricks in trade and to display his nimble-fingered dexterity. “Only a dime, ten cents, one-tenth of a dollar,” is his cry. But, in no -time at all, he has the week’s wages of most of those who gather around. Then, at the right moment, he slips away, able to defy them simply by the fact that he has their money to make his way to far places. Hitler was the same in character, only his was a great campaign. Czechoslovakia was sacrificed! Things moved swiftly and on well-oiled rollers from then on. One country after another fell under his domination until, at last, after Hitler had enough fortified battle front and supplies taken from conquered countries to thumb his nose at the major nations, these same great nations swung into action. Almost too late did their forces move against the marauder nation; the mustachioed fanatic of Berlin had a tenacious foothold along a wide front. The struggle has been, is, and will be a bloody, history-making epoch that will go down as the blackest blot that has ever been penned against any country. Britain, our vanguard in this great conflict, has withstood the attacks ot the vicious war wolf for some time. This has seriously weakened her, and we as her allies must give all the aid possible to strengthen the bulwarks of freedom which our sister nation so long has kept from tottering. Now, too, we must arm ourselves. Our navy, which was once decreased in hopes of peace, must again be built up. Planes, guns, and armament of all kinds must be put out in mass production in order to fill the needs of our armed forces. To accomplish this, our country is in need of funds. How can this be done without adding greatly to the burden of taxes which are now paid for government maintenance? Simply by the purchase of government defense bonds and stamps. By this method, each citizen is helping the government and helping himself. To those who cannot purchase a bond, defense stamps can be purchased when convenient and later exchanged for a bond. Thus an $18.50 defense bond will be worth $25 in ten years. Each citizen will be benefiting, and, most important of all, will be helping to keep America the land of the free. Be a good citizen! Be an American! Buy a bond today. Let’s keep your country and mine safe for future generations. Remember, the way of freedom is the American way. —Reginald Dodson.

Highlights of the season were the all-important Armistice Day game with our friendly rivals, the Bristow Purple Pirates, whom we defeated 5-0, and the crossing of the hitherto untouched goal line of the powerful Central Braves of Tulsa. Jack Colvard alternating between fullback and tackle won all-conference and Northeastern Oklahoma honors in the latter position. Pat Riley, our pillar of strength in the line, made the Tulsa World’s all-state football squad. Dee Ausmus was given honorable mention. Page Forty-nine CENTERS—Kenneth Smith, Robert Duckert, Dean Fleming Our lads put up a valiant fight and executed one of the prettiest plays of the season to score on a beautiful pass —Ausmus to Matlock. Pat Riley was game captain. We battled on even terms with Sand Springs in a steady rain, only to lose in the last quarter when the only score of the game was made on a long high pass. Bobbie Duckert. our dependable center, was game captain. Parents’ night, back in our own bailiwick, found us unable to cope with the speedy Webster team and we lost 19-0. At one stage of the game the Chieftains marched down the field on four consecutive first downs only to lose the ball on the 15-yard line. Ausmus, our passing star, was game captain. Going to Hcnryctta the following week, the Chieftains were scored on twice in the first five minutes. After that the boys played them on even terms; but the damage was done and we went down to defeat, 19-6. Riley, our red-headed guard, was game captain. Central’s Braves had their goal line crossed for the first time in the season when a brilliant passing game sparked by Dee Ausmus and Dale Wortman brought . ev Sapulpan fans to tw itat' T ol? first game of the season we drove to Drum-gnd watched Jack Riley, speedy Tornado back. Tlie opening kickoff the length of the field for fight’s only touchdown. The Chieftains, seeing ley had a busy evening ahead of them, settled md scored twice. Matlock escorted the pig skin Ji occasions. Ausmus was game captain. ie Chieftains lost their first conference tilt 18-7 to pgcr and more experienced Muskogee Roughers. Norman Matlock Pat Riley Co-captains The Chieftains gave their line credit for playing its best game of the season on Armistice Day when our team held Bristow scoreless while a field goal and a safety in the final quarter accounted for our winning a well earned decision from our old rivals. Riley was same captain for the day. We met the Ropers in our own stadium and were defeated 19-7 although we made more first downs. Ausmus played one of his best games of the year when he completed fourteen out of twenty-six passes for one hundred thirty-one yards. Matlock, our rough little back, was game captain. Bartlesville was our next opponent and although we won a statistical victory, we lost to the Wildcats by the margin of a single point. Jack Colvard in the fullback position ripped through their line repeatedly; but failure to convert after touchdowns cost us a victory. Matlock, our rough and tough halfback, was game captain. Our final game was in Holmes Park with the Okmulgee Bulldogs. We scored first and threw a scare Y,e C° Into the opposition, but ajl' tate fulltajrk Lcbow, running behind a strong line, defeated us 26-12. Colvard again made nice gains through the line as did Simpson, whose play in this game bodes ill for future Chieftain opposition. Riley, our bulwark in the line, was again game captain.

City Classen There THAR SHE BE During the last few years basketball has been a minor sport in Sapulpa high school. Recently, however, it has gained rapidly in popularity and has become a major sport, well liked by all. As a result of the new interest, attendance at the games has increased many times. Although the members of the team were handicapped by a lack of experience and height, they were hard fighting young men whose success depended upon speed and skill. They spent long hours in practice, for they knew that a game is not won on the night it is played. The games were hard fought and close, but the results did not show our team as successful as it might have been. Bill Stowers, one of the few experienced men, was outstanding as a leading scorer not only in Sapulpa but also in the Oklahoma Six Conference. He made 107 points while his nearest rival made only 102. This year we are losing four seniors, but we have prospects of a good team next year. We are looking forward to a great season and know our boys will give us one. UP IN THE AIR K 4T f' ' ' ' Dee Ausmus Guard Dick Krueger, our coach, when in high school played for Capitol Hill of Oklahoma City. From there he went to A. M. College where he played three years of basketball. In 1938 he made the All-American team as a forward. T. J.

We all remember what the Japs did at Pearl Harbor, how they fired upon us without warning or mercy. We must always be on the alert so that what happened then will not happen to us again. It is each person’s duty to help his government all that he possibly can. There are numerous ways of doing this. One way is by purchasing defense bonds or stamps. Do not be panic-stricken by gossip or rumors. Do not go in and buy out a whole store just because you heard someone say that there was a shortage of certain supplies. Doing this is hoarding and in the long run it will never get you anywhere. Save something for the other fellow. Remember that you are not the only one who has to have things in order to live comfortably. We must all unite to preserve our American way of life, which, deep in our hearts, we all love. If we win this war, then our Union is saved, at least for the time being. If we lose, then only God in Heaven knows what will come next. Surely none of us knows. In these days and times of strife and warfare we must remember Pearl Harbor and we must also have faith in God, our Creator and our Maker.

It was under the direction of John W. Towry, the head sponsor of the Sophomore Class. There were more than 60 students taking part in this revue. It was made up of songs, dances and skits. FRESHMAN FOLLIES The annual Freshman Follies, writh a cast of 100, was staged in the High School auditorium on March 27, 1942. It consisted of four principal scenes—Gypsy, Cowboy, Harlem, and Patriotic. This production was directed by Mrs. McMichael, assisted by the sponsors,,,'Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Page Sixty-nine As is our custom before each home game our band and drum corps paraded in the downtown district. On the day of the Webster game they had to detour around a few blocks of paving under construction. That night at Holmes Park we played the Webster Warriors in our second conference game. The Armistice Day parade was in honor of the football game with Bristow. The parade is an annual affair in both cities. The senior float won first prize, but there were many that ran a close race. The classes and school organizations entered floats. Page Seventy THANKSGIVING ASSEMBLY The Thanksgiving assembly was a musical assembly of a religious nature presented by the A Cappella Choir. Between numbers the Brass Quartet played and later the Girls’ Octet sang. HALLOWEE'N ASSEMBLY The Hallowe’en assembly October 31, 1941, was of a comic nature. Witches introduced the play, At the Stroke of Twelve. A dance was presented and the freshman girls sang to fill in. Page Seventy-one ARMISTICE DAY ASSEMBLY The Armistice Day assembly was a patriotic one in which the students presented a pageant, The Moral Equivalent for War. At the end of the assembly Mr. Allen gave us a pep talk about the Bristow game. CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY The Christmas assembly was a pageant in two parts. The first was the birth of Christ and the second a modern version of something for which to be thankful. The music was supplied by the A Cappella Choir.

Herrin, Superintendent of Schools, Creek County; Edison T. Tingley, Principal of the High School, Sand Springs; Earl Lindsey, High School Guidance Counselor, Sand Springs; Carl A. Ransbarger, Principal of the High School, Sapulpa. Our faculty made a complete study of the high school program this year by applying the Evaluative Criteria of the Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards. Professor Frank Fuller of the Oklahoma A. M. College directed this survey. Early in March a committee selected by the State Department of Education visited and checked the high school. Based upon the report of the committee, a follow-up program of improvement will be conducted during the next two years. EVALUATION ASSEMBLY On March 17, a patriotic assembly was given in our auditorium for the visiting Evaluation Committee. It was in the form of a musical drama, under the direction of Mr. Savaiano. Page Seventy-three CLASS PROPHECY OF ’42 The great inventor Jack Rea has agreed to let us use his unfinished time machine through which we can gaze into the private lives of our seniors in 1960. As we focus the machine on 1960, we see Jack Bruin, and his wife, the former Patsy Potter, getting ready for the big formal dance at the Rocket Club in downtown Chicago, given by that man-about-town, E-lmer Mclntire. We enter a taxi-cab and to our big surprise we find the driver to be none other than Dan Dyer. He tells us that he has been happily married to Helen Rae Payne for the past ten years. At the busy corner of Cheyenne and Broadway we find Leon Henderson directing traffic. Upon our arrival at the club, we recognize two of the doormen to be Chester Perkins and Reginald Dodson. The two hat check girls are also graduates of ’42, Barbetta Perry and Edna Mae Hayes. Head waiter, Lyle Martin, directs us to our table. Lyle tells us that the experience he received in Sapulpa high school plays has helped him in his career. At the next table we see multi-millionaire John Finch and his loyal wife, who was Patsy Moore, Miss Vera Mae Fol-sum and Joe Naifeh. We hear the familiar strains of our school hymn. Later we learn that it is the theme song of Earle Maple’s orchestra. We recognize some of the members of the orchestra as: Harry Brackett, W. C. Grubbs, Logan Gantz and Bill Burke. 1 he “ 1'hree Hot Spots” entertain us with their lovely singing. The girls are Lorene Willard, Edith Hagan and Josephine Boyne. The party closes with a jitterbug contest. Gerald Sample and Joy Vahl get the cup; but they are almost beaten by Gerald Rush and Mary Alice Snyder. Page Seventy-four As we leave the club, we notice the husky bouncer, Winston Rose, throwing out Lelin Pack and Orlando Martinez. We decide to spend a few days in Chicago ; so we make reservations at the Stowers Ilotel, owned and operated by Bill. We are greeted as we enter by our old friend Oren Howard. He informs us of the splendid accommodations of the hotel, and how we are to ring for any service desired. After remaining there a short while, we begin to doubt this slightly because we find the assistants to be, cooks—Juanita Legg, T. J. Haney, and Marjorie Klingensmith; waitresses—Iris Ann Tanner, Letha Settle, Ada Boyanton and Ima Jo Dawson; butlers—H. B. Bell, Junior Campbell, Charles Casteel and Ralph Miller; chambermaids—Evelyn Miller and Wilma Dees who are married to the janitors, Creal Kirkwood and Edgar Ozment. While visiting with these old chums, we learn the whereabouts of many others. Bob Duckert and his wife, the former Ann Edlinghausen, are visiting the dude ranch of Babs Conway. They are accompanied by Jennie May, Mary Aus-mus, Bill Griess and Vere E'razier. Later in the evening, while listening to the radio, we hear the familiar voice of John W. Young campaigning for Ralph McGill, who is running for Congress. After a song by Bob Lawson, the contestants for the following program, a quiz program, are announced by John Steichen. They are, girls: Brookie Adkins, Lena Bush, Margaret Mae Harris, Irene Land and Maxine Oliver; boys: John Lauber, James Martin, Jack Stephens, Willie Ramsey and Joe Lee Boaz. The first contestant is asked when the war of 1812 was fought. This question stumps all the contestants, so a volunteer from the studio audience comes forward. To our surprise we learn that he is Billy Mauch. He gets a big hand and among those clapping the loudest are Gordon Mauldin and Logan Posey. At the end of the program, announcer Billy Naifeh tells of the benefits of Barko Dog Biscuits, the new crispy, crunchy tidbits put out by Bill McKinney and Bill Gumfory. Later in the evening Norman Matlock and his wife, Virginia Poole, drop in for a chat. Norman is a salesman for the Spiffo Novelty Company owned by Charles Hasley. He tells us that Betty Hermes is manager of the West Coast division of the company. A magazine salesman knocks on the door. She is none other than Doris Roderick. We buy a magazine from her and find out that it is published by that noted editor Joan Sidwell. In the periodical there is an article by Wanda Toombs and Mo-rine Riley explaining present world conditions. Early the next morning we are awakened by a commotion in the street. When we look out, we see Charlotta McCly-mond on the sill of an eighteenth story window across the street, threatening to commit suicide. Firemen and policemen are waiting below with a life net. Some of the firemen look familiar. They are James Hopkins, Owen Gray and Ray Coley. News photographer Dan Hodges is standing by. Finally Charlotta is persuaded not to jump by policemen Dewey McKinney and Charles Watkins. We attend the big football game between the Chieftains and the Braves. Here we see Frances Lea Mayes and Claudeen Humes chasing those two handsome movie actors Jack Colvard and Jesse Thrasher. We also find in the grandstand, Dee Ausmus giving his wife. formerlv_Tulia Mayfield, a few pointers on the game. As the game gets under way we find James Hubbard and Melvin Roberts taking charge of the officiating. Looking around the stands, we find those four old-maid school teachers, Betty Lou Prater, Grace Randolph, Zelma Turner and Elaine Young. Sitting next to them we find Joan Waite who has just returned from Reno for the third time. During the first half we hear a commotion and looking around we see Willard Young, Junior Weaver, Doris Brock and Vera Lee Walker throwing pop bottles at the referee. At the half we see Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hickman, formerly Mary Ellen Fitzgerald, buying popcorn for their kids at the stand. Here we see Wanda June Alexander, Gloria Anduss, and Helen Evinger selling popcorn and peanuts. At this stage of the evening, the band comes marching down the field with Margaret DuBois leading it and Pat Riley directing it. As we leave the stadium, we bump into Roby Ann Davis who invites us to come to the opening of her new beauty shoppe. Deciding to accept her invitation, we accompany her. Upon our arrival at the shoppe, we find a host of old acquaintances. Pier five very capable operators are Wilma Jayne Fowler, Pauline Frazier, Mary Ann Harmony, Mildred James and Betty Linnet; the three manicurists are Anita June Miller, Esther Haught, and Marguerite Prater. Attracted by the constant chatter of a lady under a drier, we turn to find Patty Rae Pfeffer telling Kathleen Carroll her family troubles, and those of all of her neighbors. Not wanting to eavesdrop, but forced to listen, we hear the pathetic story of the former Virginia Deane spanking her youngest child merely because he broke out a few window panes. As she rattles on we learn that a few of the rival ladies in her community are Bonnie Hodges, Zula Kemp, Betty Rose and Marian Meyer. Disgusted with the conversation, we turn to new interests and see Wanda June Greeson getting the latest hair-do. Suddenly interrupted by a loud commotion, we observe the rich heiress, Mary Louise Routsong, insisting that she is the first to call and therefore should receive the free permanent. Gertrude Slater, who is in charge of the advertising department, is trying to explain to her that Patricia Lee is already getting the permanent. To our amusement we find Bonnie Gae Howe discussing the world situation with Wilma Gibson while Wilma is getting a pedicure. Page Seventy-five Deciding to seek new adventures, we depart and as we journey down the street we meet Anna Lee Snider. Anna Lee is now superintendent of the nurses at the Chieftain Hospital. She tells us that Doris Rose and Lela Bray, who entered training with her, are now stewardesses on the International Air Line Clipper of which Jimmy Douglas is a pilot. We notice a sign which reads “Ladies’ Ready to Wear.” Led on by our curiosity, we enter. As we make our way through the store, we are greeted by Billie Thayer, Mary Payne and Florence Waren all trying to make a sale. Finally getting away from them without buying anything, we find Mary Ellen Young surrounded at the bargain counter by her children. Betty Riggle is patiently waiting to assist her. As we leave the store, we are recognized by three old chums, Jo Anne Shirley, Mildred Walker and Leona Wolffarth. After spending a few hours with them we realize our return is over due. We bid the girls farewell and return with pleasant memories and satisfied minds regarding the ’42 graduates of S. IT. S.

S. a —Jennie May Page Eighty-one SAPULPA TEACHERS HUNT BIG GAME Although fresh game, roasted to a turn and served with appropriate sauce, is a dish much too tasty to he disregarded, the hunt is really the thing that counts. I know of no place where money can purchase the thrills that I got on one particular hunt. Pour of us, my principal, Carl Rans-barger, Tom Grisham, Lane Dougherty, and I, made our plans for a Christmas hunt. We would go into the foothills, far from the noise and tumult of civilization, where but little hunting was being done. Part of the trip would be made in cars, and the last few miles beyond the ends of the roads would be covered on foot. At last the eventful day rolled around. We packed our grub, our camp equipment, and our guns in two cars, donned our boots and wool shirts and pointed our radiators towards the looming Rockies. Carl and I were in one car; Lane and Tom were in the other. Carl was to act as guide. Out across the flat country we sped, along the desert trail, up the picturesque ' alley of Big Sandy Creek, which, in the course of our journey, we crossed twenty-eight times. After dark we stopped to wait for the occupants of the other car, and as we sat there I suddenly perceived two glowing green points of fire in front of us. “A wildcat or a panther,” I thought, and reached for my gun. But before I could reach it, the points had advanced until, in the light of the car, I could make out the woolly form of a big Southdown ram. While we sat there stupidly watching this unexpected spectacle, the ram continued his headlong charge straight for the car. When but a few feet away he gathered his body and jumped at the blinding glare of the left headlight. Crash! The ram backed away, unhurt. With caution he made his way by the car, then resumed his hurried way along the road as if he were late to a highly important engagement. At the old cow-town of Wildhorse we stopped for supper. We spun yarns with Page Eighty-two the oldtimers and other hunters. Then we headed for Limon. For seven miles we wound up a steep dangerous road along Dugout Hollow, a ravine that had been carved between the picturesque hills. Around perilous hairpin curves we went. The streaming headlights looked off first into the blank darkness above the depths and then at the steep rock wall. The boughs of pine flashed by on the wall side, and out in the darkness the lights caught the stately form of a redwood or the powerful, rugged, knarled body of an oak. On and on we went, up and up. At last, near the top of the foothills, we started down another ravine. Steep? Gee, I felt like a spider sliding down a wall. I was driving. The car had good brakes and I used them. In due time we arrived at Limon, a small mining town, whose quaint frame buildings are mostly untenanted and sadly in need of repair. Under a huge tree, we parked the cars, built a fire and made our beds. It was cold. We sat close to the fire. One side of us baked and the other froze. The flames died down. One by one as the fire got lower, and lower, we went to bed. Lane and I slept together. Our bed was made of two blankets. One of them was a two-time blanket, which means it worked both day and night. It’s daytime job was decreasing the friction between a saddle and a horse’s back on Lane’s farm. The other one was fresh; and this fresh blanket had been recently packed with a goodly supply of moth balls. When I stuck my head out of the covers my ears froze, and when I covered it up the redolence almost suffocated me. I don’t mind the scent of horses so much, but mix such a scent with that of napthalene and it is beyond human endurance. After a night of alte rnately going down for warmth and coming up for air, I was a great moth sympathizer. We arose, had breakfast, packed our equipment and started out on foot. Up the Big Sandy Creek we went in single file, crossing the clear glittering stream in numerous places on bridges built of logs. We left Big Sandy and followed up Collins Creek. Sometimes we were far above the rushing water, at others we were at its level. At places the trail was so narrow we rubbed against the cliff, and we were in danger of hurtling over the precipice to the rocks below. Once we saw the remains of an old sawmill. How that heavy machinery was ever freighted into the back country is a mystery to me. We passed a trapper’s cabin and a woman, glad of the sight of human beings, came to the door to watch us tramp by. On we went. The trail we followed was not so good, and we knew that it was little used. The sun burned its way into the crest of a western mountain. As it disappeared the air began to get cold. “How much farther is it?” someone asked. “It’s a long way yet,” was Carl’s discouraging answer. Steadily we went, sometimes walking, sometimes sliding. Our legs were getting tired, our hands were freezing. Darkness descended fast. Soon we could barely see our way. A suspicion entered my mind. I did not like to mention it, but the cold silent hostility of the night ovenveighed my aversion. “Carl,” I said, “If you’re lost, say so; and we’ll camp right here.” Carl merely laughed and strode on. My hands got colder. I was too miserable for further conversation. On and on we went, the miles seeming endless. I had lost count of time when in the darkness I bumped into Carl who was leading the way. “Here’s camp,” he announced. “Thank the Lord,” said a fervent voice from the rear. Soon we had a big fire going and supper cooking. As the radiating heat began to thaw the chill from our bones, our general mental condition improved, and by the time supper was ready the soreness and pains of the hard day’s tramp had been forgotten. In the morning we were up with the sun, had breakfast, and eight o’clock found the dishes done. My companions picked up their guns. I had intended using the first half of day fixing up our camp; but alas for good intentions—I secured my own gun and hunted my hat. It would be best, we agreed, to hunt in pairs, so Tom and I started out across a rocky glade. We walked along, stumbling over rocks and pressing through the underbrush. We hadn’t gone very far when we found fresh signs of our game. In tufts of sparsely growing grass and in briar patches we found numerous beds and fresh signs. We had stopped to rest, when my gaze wandered across a small draw. I saw a white flag flitting silently from one briar patch to another. We hurried across the draw, rounded one of the briar patches, and again came in sight of our game. I put my gun to my shoulder. The front sight played on the rear of the vanishing form. I raised it a little, hoping for a better hit. I pulled the trigger, but instead of tumbling, he picked up speed. I tried again, but without success. The booming of a gun at my side told me that Tom was busy. The running form had put so much distance between us, the result of his shot was the same as mine. The hurrying animal reached the opposite side of the draw and, instead of going out of sight over the ridge—as it could easily have done—it turned and ran broad side to me at a distance of fifty to sixty yards. He seemed to be headed for a briar patch near the head of the draw. I could not ask for better shooting. For one grand supreme moment civilization dropped from me like a discarded cloak. I was a hunter, as men have been hunters for countless generations. The world dwindled to a few hundred yards, with the game at one end and me at the other. No hungry Indian was ever more intent on bagging his game than I. Cares, Page Eighty-three troubles, worries, ambition—everything faded into the background. I wasn’t self-conscious, for there was no grandstand or spectators to play to. I worked fast, but automatically. I ran at high speed across some fifty or sixty yards of treacherous shale rock. I have nothing but a faint recollection of doing it. An instinct inbred into the Anglo-Saxon race for centuries welled up within me -with such great intensity that it wiped all else from existence. It was the instinct to kill. My eyes were glued on the rapidly running form and at the crack of my gun my heart pounded with the hope that he would falter in his stride and go stumbling down. Was I excited? I most assuredly was. It was that stage of rare, deeply stirring excitement that comes but few times in the ordinary span of human years. That excitement alone was enough to make the trip a howling success. If ever the time comes when the action of catching a bounding form over the s.ghts of a gun does not rouse excitement in my breast, I will go no more into the Rockies to hunt. I pulled the trigger. The animal went down, the force of the impact having knocked him over; but he was up;,again in a flash and continued his course for the briar patch. 1 knew I had started something that I must finish. He was now far from me and the shooting was more difficult. I sped another ineffectual shot in his direction and he disappeared into the brush. By this time, Tom had made a hit, but not an instant kill. He declared his intention of following his game until he found it dead or until he could get another shot at it. “All right,” I answered, “I’ve got one up here—if I can find him.” I circled a briar patch as fast as I could, came to the place where I had last seen my quarry, and there on a stone I found a sign. I followed the trail, but soon lost it in the briars. I made a wide circle about a rough rocky place, again picked up the trail, and followed it. The trail led me across a rocky slope and there I found him—a nice, tender, rabbit. Page Eighty four SHOULD OUR FREEDOM BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED? The question is, “Should vve take our freedom for granted?” Freedom is far too precious a thing to think of lightly. It is the heart and soul of the American people. Freedom is the foundation of Americanism. Our liberty'was not obtained easily. It took the country’s life-blood to obtain it. Last year the American people were sixty per cent against war, as shown by the Gallup poll, by now they are in it 100% and will fight ceaselessly for their hard obtained freedom. It is usually not until a crisis arrives that the people of many nations realize how steadily they have been plodding along, not realizing what is happening in the national government. Not so the American people. All along the majority of Americans read the newspapers and keep up with what is happening—locally and nationally. Perhaps it is true that many Americans go about their daily duties not giving much thought to the liberty they enjoy; but once aroused to approaching or impending danger, they become galvanized into action to protect their liberty. Even the humblest man in America enjoys unusual freedom. In the United States of America if the humblest citizen should take stock of what he has, and what he is, and what he desires to be, he should find that the things of true worth are the things which all may possess. Contrast the situation of the housewife in the United States today with the housewife in the suppressed nations of Europe. Now that we are at war, the housewives of this nation are naturally restricted or rationed in their buying but up to now they have been deprived of little. Mrs. John Q. Public can still go to the grocery store and buy, not what is allotted to her by the government, but what her tastes and budget dictate to her. She is not handed a dull, drab, rough garment, unskill-fully made, but goes to her favorite dress shop, and selects those garments which most become her—gay colors, soft materials, garments which the wearer will enjoy. Some materials are no longer on the market because they are needed in our national defense program or were imported ones, but there is still a wide selection. Along with her husband and children, this woman may listen to any program on the radio that pleases her. These persons can go to a public assembly without an officer there to supervise their speech and activities. T hey may express their sincere opinions on any subject without being thrown into a concentration camp or experiencing a worse fate. When our Democracy is accused of being slow, bungling, and inefficient, we can look at our past record. In only ISO years, America has grown from a frontier country to the richest country in the world —the one with the highest standard of living, and the greatest degree of liberty. I f it is said that freedom and democracy are just words, you might recall that dictatorships have slaves and slave drivers, not citizens. Insinuations are that America cannot buck the trend toward dictatorship. As long as nations have existed, barbarians have attacked more advanced peoples. Often they have won. But man’s desire for freedom has always reasserted itself. Does freedom of speech just give cranks and fanatics a chance to give voice to their own grievances? Freedom of speech gives you a chance to hear many sides to the question, and you can arrive at sound conclusions which will lead to intelligent action. The accusation is that we have no freedom of speech. Have you ever criticized our government? Would you like to wake up and find yourself in a concentration camp for doing so? That’s what would happen to you for criticizing the government in a dictatorship. Page Eighty-five Is it true that we have a sham political freedom, strongly divided social groups, and all sorts of special privileges? Democracy hasn’t progressed in every phase at the same rate of speed. Political freedoms have advanced faster than the freedoms of our economic life. Would you like to have the government scientific, like building a bridge? Should one man be allowed to decide what is right for us? Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin don’t care about science. They pervert all knowledge to fit their own desires. Another accusation is that we aren’t a true democracy. That the officials only do what they think will be popular with the voters is also asserted. They do this to assure us that they are our servants and not our masters. It is true that some of our failures are the man on relief, the migrant worker, the sharecropper. We must apply our energies to bringing about betterment. In Germany, Italy, and Russia most employed people have a standard of living lower than that of our unemployed. Dictatorships have beaten unemployment by making slaves of their workers. M. E. Tracy puts it neatly: “Nazism, Communism and Fascism boast of the fact that they have no unemployment. Neither has a prison, nor an army.” A vital accusation is that we don’t have security, that you can’t get it in a democracy. The Scandinavian democracies enjoyed great liberty until it was recently destroyed by communism and fascism. Here in the United States we are trying to achieve security for all. And the constitution has guaranteed us liberty to read what we please, to go to the church of our choice, and to talk as we like. Surely no wide-awake, thinking American will be blind and deaf to what is happening daily to those who have taken their freedom for granted and have awakened to the awful facts concerning what has actually been happening after it was too late to save that priceless heritage of freedom. No doubt there are some irresponsible souls who take their freedom, as well as everything else for granted. It is the duty of every individual citizen of the United States to be constantly alert to any threat or danger to this cherished freedom. Surely every loyal man, woman, and child should be compelled to realize the value of freedom as experienced in our democracy, and should exercise eternal vigilance to preserve that liberty.

You look out and see a robin, Such a cute little fellow, his head a bobbin’. The sun begins to shine and wind to blow— These are the signs of spring, you know. Now look around and you will see That pretty little pussy-willow tree. Then away up high upon a hill, Waving in the breeze, is a little daffodil— These are the signs that spring is near. Won’t we be glad when it’s really here? THE AMERICAN WAY LOUISE WRIGHT Some people wonder why we’re so free And why we act so gay, Especially those across the sea Who know not the American way. I wonder if they sometimes pine To see Old Glory wave, To know our President so fine And other officers so brave. To know that in this land of ours We worship as we like, To know that all dictator powers Will never our land strike. So strike to keep America so, The land of the Free and the Brave, The land that all of us must go Out of our way to save. Page Eighty-seven THE AMERICAN FLAG DOROTHY MOSES When I look up and see the flag Floating before me in the sky, How useless ’tis to boast or brag, Flow difficult to scheme or lie! When I look up and see it there, It’s pure bright colors floating free, I thank the Lord who reigns above For my own precious liberty. Old Glory, now in these dark days, How shining does thy symbol seem To those who live in other lands, Whose freedom is a cherished dream ! To you allegiance we must give To keep thy banner floating clear That we in peace may always live, Defending truths that we hold dear. MOTHER JENNIE LOU SHOUSE No words express such beauty rare As found in a mother’s loving care. Ever loyal, gentle and kind was she, My many faults she seemed not to see. When I was tired and sick with fear, She was always there, hovering near, Singing a song or saying a prayer. Oh, what a joy to have her there! I never knew till she’d gone away How much I needed her every day. I miss the soft and gentle touch And the sweet words and songs, oh, so much ! Although she is gone, her spirit’s near To sing me songs and still my fear. In the evening when the lights are low, I think I see her come and go. Page Eighty-eight AN AMERICAN’S PRAYER Cleo Oi.kson Dear God, in this world of war and stress, May our land by your hand be blessed. Keep her safe from the turmoil over seas And keep our land the home of the free. Guide and watch her through the night Till our land is brilliant with Thy light. Help us that we may know and see We have nothing to fear when we look to Thee. While my head is bent and while I pray And the bells toll the knell of parting day, God, keep this country the home of the brave, And let Old Glory forever wave! A SUMMER’S DAY KENNETH SMITH The young pines on the hill-side lean To catch the morning breeze; And on the ground green ferns are seen ’Neath shadows on the trees. A winding brooklet seems to sigh As on it winds its way. I understand as it goes by The things it tries to say. High overhead white clouds float by In groups of two or three. I watch them drift across the sky And think that they watch me. I wonder if they’ll always roam So happy and so free, Or if perhaps they’ll hurry home And write of seeing me. Page Eighty-nine V PREPARING FOR A TEST BETTY LOWRY There’s so much to remember, So many things I don’t know, My head it gets so limber And my fingers work so slow. My heart it starts to thumping, And my feet just won’t keep still, My shoulders are both slumping— This is surely not a thrill. My eyes they’re really aching, I should surely be in bed. My body is all shaking And I might as well be dead. My limbs they are so aching I really do need to rest. A nap I would be taking If I were sure I’d pass that test! WHY? MARTHA HUBBARD Why do my eyes always follow him Every time he wanders by? Why does my heart always skip a beat And I give a long, drawn-out sigh? Why does he always look again When once he catches my eye? Or maybe it’s just that I think he does When really he is quite too shy. Why does my poor heart seem upside-down And for no reason I want to cry? If this isn’t love, I do pray thee now Tell me, why isn’t it ?—Why ? Page Ninety IMAGINATION OF SPRING TEDDY JEAN OLSON I’m tired of rain and winter; I wish spring would come once more. I like to hear birds chirping And have pretty flowers galore; To go out in the country And find a shady place, Where I can lie and watch the clouds That form and look like lace. Tho’ winter comes and winter goes As everyone can see, Am I the only one that knows How swell spring’s going to be? Sometimes when I go outdoors And see that it is spring, I feel so very happy That I just begin to sing! PRAYER OF AN AMERICAN YOUTH ERMA JEAN ROSS Dear God, it is with humble hearts That we now come to Thee To ask a blessing for this land, America, the home of the free. America is a name dear to us all Who ever knew this land, And each one prays in his own way That it will be guided by God’s own hand. Our forefathers fought for this land of ours. You helped them in their fight, And now we ask for guidance and help, For a cause which we feel is right. Though darkness now creeps o’er the land That lies far across the foam, If it be Thy will, we pray, You’ll bless This American land, our home.
