Freedom's Assembly Line The urge for freedom with discipline and the ability to appreciate freedom’s pleasures and limitations arc stimulated in the schools of democracy. For many years, an invisible yet very tangible Army-Navy E” has fluttered in the breeze high above our beloved B. T. Washington High School. The E was awarded many years ago by educators who recognized the importance this plant has in Freedom’s Assembly Line. The Army and Navy arc composed of those who love knowledge and fight fear, hate and ignorance so that civilization, as we know it, will not perish. Some of the blockbusters,’’ jeeps, fighter planes, tanks and even trucks used by this Army and Navy have come from our plant.

As the day of departure approaches, they arc jittery and anxious, because they arc trained to such a fine point. They engaged in many performance tests to show their skills and the technicians beamed at their handiwork. The master technician gave his final O. K.” Outside, another war different from the endless war on fear, hate and ignorance is about to end, we hope! 1944 is the year of Victory! The stalwart, young, fit weapons are marching into it! Whether it be the end of the war of fear, hate and ignorance or not. they march as they always have to mingle with the tried and true ones who have left the same assembly line. Their only backward glance is up at the Army-Navy E” awarded for excellence in educational preparation. Their course is set on the paths of prophecy . . . 1954 ... ? A
