THEME cv C y HE HElCiH I S of great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight.” This is true of all walks of life. If someone were to say to you that tomorrow all travel on earth would be done by rockets and atomic powered cars you would laugh at him. Why? It is too great a change from our present way of life. Going back about thirty years we find a different picture. The people were talking of the completion of the Panama Canal, the assassination of Archduke of Austria, and its kindling the flame of war in Europe. Shortly after, tragedy struck the United States. I he Lusitania had been sunk! Would this mean war? It was inevitable. I hrough America's boundless resources, capable leaders, doughboys’ fighting spirit and modern inventions, the United States emerged the victor in this terrible war. I his was a time for rejoicing. Johnny came marching home. After a few years of carefree dancing to the tunes of the new jazz music, he was ready to become one of the leading citizens of the land for which he had fought. His children were to enjoy a lasting peace. Alas!! A quarter of a century passed and history repeated itself in a war far worse than the first. We do not need to write of this one. We know what it has meant to mankind. Our school yearbook’s theme, “Then and Now” has attempted to show the changes in the history of our school during this time. We feel that with this traditional book we may go from the land of yesterday, through the present, and start dreaming of the future. May it be the key to fond memories and lasting friendship. Let us use it when dull care overtakes us in the years to come. [4]
