Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life. The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles, farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage. Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight. After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America bur- ied war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors. Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the crash, the dust bowl, and poverty healed. , .

The nations leaders scoffed, until December 7,1941 . . . Pearl Harbor! Industrial production reached a peak during the 'war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a better life for everyone. Several mod- erate recessions in the 50's and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades. Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field, Television became a part of every family's life. National events were household topics - while they happened - thanks to the new medi- um. Individuals and groups were seen on the tube as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Nearly 100 years of struggling for civil liberties were realized when President Lyndon Baines johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. The Act outlawed segregation in any form, The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its zoorh birthday, The world's energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could be replenished. Americans once again waded into a new frontier, The energy crisis and ecology were prominent words in the language. Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country. t 1 v ianii , 'ff' A f if i ,rK'ft1a '1jf9 4 Tj -1 J -.3-7 ' fftjgffr KJ 3? ,Z jx-A -2: e 44' - .'

Earth's crises spurred Americans into further pioneering, This time . outer space. Ameri- can astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the US. was first to build a sky- lab for more scientific study. American is still learning and growing after a mere ZOO-year infancy. The original determina- tion of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon . . a small step for man, but a giant step for mankind.
