Through feverish energy and lively en- thusiasm on the part of Americans, every invention and every discovery has resulted in the improvement of man's physical comfort. Science has been made to serve man in his daily travels, in his daily chores, in his business or profession, in his diet and his health. Even so destructive a force as atomic energy is being harnessed to provide better facilities and easier living for man. Everyday human effort, human energy, and human ingenuity produce some new device to make man's world a more satisfying place to live in. But is that necessarily a better World? That is up to you. The challenge is Whether you will give the same passionate devotion that has been given to physical comfort to improving human relations: better understanding of your fellow-man, a more sympathetic attitude toward those who need your help, closer adherence to ethical standards, less emphasis on material im- provements and more on emotional and mental satisfactions. We have fought for our country, we have fought for ideals. Will we light as well for the spiritual values? As future leaders it will beiyour task to see to it that, from your sincere efforts to meet this challenge, a better World results. 4 Scotty Ierome, M1'.

Through our doorway come visitors, parents, and friends from the busi- ness world, welcomed by student guides, to see the school in action. Here they see being carried on a lively and instructive program which is guided in all stages by the needs of the students as well as of the outside world in which they will sewer. The aim of our school is preparation for a life of usefulness, in the serv- ice of the entire community, together with preparation for individual good life. In the work of creating the philosophy of our school, the members of the Board of Education of N. Y. City have always been stimulating and actively helpful. To them, the students of C. C. H. S. owe a debt of lasting gratitude. BOARD OF EDUCATION Andrew G. Clauson, Ir., President Ioseph D. Fackenthal, Vice President Board of Superintendents Anthony Campagna Maximilian Moss Harold C.

Peace is being gradually restored. In some parts of the world there are still misgivings among the millions of people. Civil wars have followed the cessation of in- ternational militaiy hostilities. Production of food is still far short of the demands of the people. Of all the great countries, ours is the only one which has succeeded in converting to production for peace time needs without any major upheavals. But the war has taught us that we cannot live in isolation from the rest of the world. So long as there is a civil war in China or in any other part of the world our peace is not secure. In many sections the masses of the people are rebelling against the old order which deprived them of bread and brought only war to them. Instead, they want to establish some form of democracy similar to the one which we, in America, have enjoyed so long. lt is to our interest that we help them in their struggles. Indeed, this is a moral duty. And it is our duty to prepare ourselves, through serious attention to our educational opportunities, for the task of maintaining the four freedoms in our own country and for the job of helping other people to enjoy them, too. lt is especially important for us now to emphasize the fourth freedom, the freedom from want, so eloquently pronounced by our late president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. lt is peace and security that people all over the world are demanding. We must do everything in our power to see that some form of world organ- ization, like the United Nations, becomes effective in guaranteeing the freedoms and in removing the anxieties which make peaceful pursuits im- possible. YVONNE SHELBY-6Al El-otlael-hood B-rotherhood must be R-ooted firmly in the minds of the people. O-bliterate prejudice and discrimination. T-ear out by the roots H-atred and the constant fear of the falsely E-ducated Tyrants of all time. R-egain for the oppressed the H-opes of equality and freedom. O-nward we must all go together, O-vercoming and overpowering the saboteurs of peace. D-iligent we must be in our continual struggle to make all the peoples of the world free and eoual. Onlv then can we achieve the full meaning of the word, BROTHERHOOD.

I wish that we be the last generation that had to light for freedom. I wish for one world. BY ROSLYN GASIOR iiopeaf for af Ketter Illvrl Let us work for a real Brotherhood of Nations, a firm foundation for lasting peace. With knowledge of atomic energy let us cure illness and aid man instead of using this great power to destroy mankind. There is no place in this world for selfish individuals. We must realize that today's world is made up of many different people and we must educate them to live with others peacefully. Those who are optimistic would have us believe that the world is a beautiful little place. But let those people stop looking through rosy rimmed glasses, and see the facts as they really are, let them know that the world has many sadistic people who perpetrate heinous crimes against their re- ligion, race, or nationality. In order to improve ourselves we must discard all archaic philosophies. Then we can justly say that we are progressing towards a better world. VIVIAN ZIIVIMERMAN 14 Though M an Ervtlaerlwvd Did you ever sit down and try to reason out things with yourself? Did you ever try to realize what freedom means? This is not to force you to think or to change your mind. What I'm trying to do is to explain what freedom means to hungry, underclothed, and starved human beings. It doesn't necessarily have to mean one group of people, it means people of different creeds, colors, and races. They are not only in Europe, but also in our own freedom loving country, America. Yes, this is the land of the free and the home of the brave. I think this country is tops in the World. In my heart I realize what that means. And I think I am expressing the feelings of all the underprivileged and fortunate people. How many of you ever thought of how the people became displaced persons? Do you realize that almost the Whole population of Europe was wiped out? Do you realize what aid these helpless people need? It's true that there are agencies helping these people. There are also people who don't receive any help. These people don't have any friends or relatives to help. These are the people that we are sony about, and these are the people that We, in America, have to help. Not only We in America must help, but the fortunate people of the big and little countries, that are back on their feet and can afford to help, must do so, too. This is the question: What can We do, We, who are fed and clothed properly? We can send clothing and food abroad through certain charities. We can help by working in the charitable agencies. There are many Ways to help. Why can't We in America help the unfortunate people to achieve our kind of freedom, freedom that they can enjoy in a permanently peaceful World? Let us people of the freedom loving countries pray to God, thanking Him for our country in which we can enjoy the Four Freedoms no matter who We are. We must, we will, with the Grace of God, win this peace! BY HENRY BERMAN-SDI I 5 7'oo ate I was an American of Italian parents and thought a lot of myself and I thought no one could put a thing over on me. Wlrerr the war started, I decided I'd join up and make myself a hero. A hero, that's a laugh. Well, I joined the navy. Join the navy and see the world, that's what they told me. I went to camp and boy! was the training tough, and I, Iimmy De Petro, working in a kitchen. My own Ma couldn't get me to peel a potato, and when they gave me KP. I could have . . . well, let's not mention it. Before I knew it, I was on a beautiful gray battleship-destination unknown. I guess I wasn't too friendly with the other guys, too busy figuring out how to be a hero. I had to turn to thinking because I wouldn't talk to the Chinese, Iewish, and Negro guys. The fellows of my own kind didn't want to talk to me because of the way I acted toward these fellows, but I had a few on my side at first. I guess they couldnlt quarrel with me because I acted as though I knew it all. So I just got to thinking of one thing and another. All of us were jumpy, wanting action, with eyes peering out to sea, or in the air waiting with tense nerves for the words, Man your battle sta- tions! These words came soon enough. We all ran to our posts. There I sat with my gun's nose in the air and thought how many Iap planes I was going to shoot down. I didn't have much time for thought for before I knew it the planes were overhead and all guns were firing. The fight seemed hours long but it was only a matter of minutes, and I, the great hero who was 16 going to shoot down so many planes, didn't even get one. The Negro fellow to the far side of me shot down four planes and the Chinese guy on the other side shot down three and two ran for home. That burned me up and the fellows kidded me because I said I was going to shoot down so many planes. That burned me up more. I sulked, and one of the Negro guys tried to talk to me but I pushed him away. Yes, I pushed him away, I pushed a friend away. The laps weren't so easy to get rid of. They came back at dawn. This time they got close enough to lay some of their eggs. One fell near my gun and I felt myself flying into the air, then came the hard impact of the water, and all went black. I was sub-conscious as I lay in bed and heard the phar- maeist's mate telling the doctor what had happened to me. It seems that after I had fallen into the water the Negro I had pushed away had jumped over- board and rescued me. The doctor said he didn't think I'd live for I was pretty much burned from the explosion, with bones broken from the impact with the water. The thought rushed in my mind . . . I was going to die. I couldn't let that happen, I wanted to thank the guy for rescuing me. A funny feeling came over me and pain shot through my body. I was going to die! I wanted to shout out, God, don't make me die now. lust let me live long enough to thank that Negro fellow! Another pain shot through me and grabbed at my heart. I gasped and choked and my life was over on earth. l'm dead now and I guess I sound pretty bitter to you. VVcll, I am. I feel I have been given a raw deal. XVhen I lay dying I saw what I should have done and God took me away before I could square myself with at least one guy. My only wish now is that the guys who discriminate unwisely will wake up before it's too late. I feel better now that I have told you my story. Maybe now my soul can rest. SYDELL BERCIXIAN 14 Strange Sv:-t of Prayer Well, God, here we are. You up there, I down here, with a burning enthusiasm for all believers in brotherly love and the kinship of all humanity. I Oh, God, how nice it would be if all men were brothers and all could be free to worship as they pleased. VVith the war over and the boys all done with the lighting, must they come home to fight among themselves? VVas this really meant to be? Tomorrow, and more tomorrows, I'll still want freedom for my children and my children's children. If I must struggle alone my dreams will never become realities. Well, no hard feelings, I'll go wherever you say, and do whatever you want me to, for You know what's best for me, but Dear God, maybe if You could get the people to understand the meaning of All for one, and one for all, regardless of their beliefs and the color of their skin, maybe then we'd achieve a better world. You see, God, that's the sort of world all men will want to live in. YVONNE SHELBY 17 Tice bead Wino Healer ie You prince, of the fat purse, or proud heart, You beggar, of the endless tears, You indiilerent one, of the anxious inertia! Do you remember Abe Lincoln? Abe Lincoln, that vast and brooding man, vvith the great and terrible loneliness. Having known great things, it is not Lincolnls lot, Even in eternity, to be content with silence. Snarl at him: Let the dead stay buried and forgotten. VVe must heed the living. But he is of the dead . . . never forgotten, ' An infinite, brooding, lonely conscience. And hid thunder still resounds from the hollows of the sky. Little men, tell him of your achieving hours. Hungry men, tell him of the embattled bickering for a scrap of bread. Great men, tell him of your scramble for a scrap of land, Of the parades, the helpless fury, the vain might, The measured malice, the open greed, the festering Wrong. 'AWITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE, WITH CHARITY FOR ALL, WITH FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT AS GOD GIVES US THE RIGHT .... Ask them, Mr. Lincoln, How stands the Union, neighbors? Can you say, l'Four square, rock bottomed, one and indivisible? NO-NO-NO! 18 IT IS FOR US THE LIVINC, RATHER, TO BE DEDICATED TO THE UNFINISHED WORK WHICH THEY WHO FOUCHT HAVE THUS FAR SO NOBLY ADVANCED .... Ask them, Mr. Lincoln: Are you forging another portent for a world in blood soaked agony? Can you say, K'Not we, we are the architects of a brave new world. THAT FROM THESE HONORED DEAD NVE TAKE IN- CREASED DEVOTION TO THAT CAUSE FOR VVHICH THEY CAVE . . . THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVO- TIONV' You prince, can all your gold buy one easy moment today? You beggar, what are your wares beside yesterday's tears? You, indillerent one, does your sheath of apathy dress you for tomorrow? Search all the castles of your mind, retrack your fervored paces, And ind the empty echoes of promises you never meant to keep. You are men who seek a glittering portion treading over the yawning grave. THAT WE HERE HIGHLY RESOLVE THAT THESE DEAD SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN .... l But rest easy, Mr. Lincoln, in your vast and brooding loneliness. The measured malice, the open greed, the festering wrong, will not prevail against the unburied dead. The earth abides forever, and with the earth, the people. Your people, Mr. Lincoln, the ones you loved and understood, The struggling, dumb, fumbling people, who alone can light the huge hurry- ing crowd with one smile, Who touch tenderly the earth's goodness and make it Hourish, Who, unmasked, offer their bodies to the tyrant's steel, Who have bled and died and have been lost, And who will bleed and die and will be found again! For their destiny is greater and more enduring than the words or the folly of all proud men. They are the imperishable repository of greatness and humility, Of genius, variety, strength, hope, promise, Of dreams, born, dead, and fulfilled, Of dreams, unborn, alive, and yet to be fulilled. Dreams and people are immortal, They go on forever. Something the empty seekers and searchers do not know. Rest easy, Mr. Lincoln ....

It all started a few years ago while Christina was singing an aria from Verdi's La Traviataf' That was the first time she was to sing that season and Christina was naturally anxious. Rosetta, her attendant, was fixing her hair and gown, but nothing seemed to please Christina. The singer was usually so cool and serene on opening night, but it seemed that to-night there would be someone in the audience whom she wanted to impress very much. Christina went onto the stage with a lot of confidence in herself. She started singing, when suddenly someone from the audience began to laugh. Not knowing the cause of the laughter, she continued singing. Then the entire audience seemed to be laughing at her because her voice was screechy as she reached the high note. Christina's face turned white, but she con- tinued and as soon as the selection was over, she rushed to her dressing room and just stood there-all the pain and agony twisting her features. Standing there and not crying made it even more unbearable. It was pitiful to see all the anguish pent up within her, she sensed it and resented my being there. Trying to console her made matters worse-she wouldn't recognize me as her friend and seemed to think everyone was against her. Wlien she went home that night she started packing and quietly left New York. Christina was neither seen nor heard from in that city since. She had savings which amounted to quite a large sum and with it she bought a house in the country. Z0 She led a very solitary life and severed all relationships with her friends. Life held no meaning for her, and she could honestly say that it was a dull life she led. Sometimes she would lie awake seeing those awful mocking faces leering at her, and she would feel all taut inside. Long, lonely years which seemed like centuries passed by and Christina found herself yearning, craving for the applause that was hers in the past and for the many voices that shouted, f'EncoreV' She ached for the joyous feeling she had when her name appeared in lights, in newspapers, and maga- zines. It was a nostalgic moment like that that made her decide that she would like to visit New York again. On the train there Christina found herself getting that old fear, the fear which drove her out of New York. But her determination to see New York again was strong. Finally, she reached her destination. I cannot explain the happy glow that seemed to envelop her at the sight of this city in all its brightness, but as Christina looked at the many people passing by she imagined them jeering and pointing at her and saying, 'fWhy, my rooster sings softer and more soothingly than she does. Of course, she realizes now that it was just an hallucination. Christina turned around and it seemed as though she was surrounded by those voices .... The last thing that she can remember is that from out of somewhere a voice cried out, Look out! and then after the hard impact of the car, she fell into the cold icy blackness. She knows now that because she was recreant these misfortunes had befallen her. You see, Doctor, I know that if Christina should live she will sing again and give to others the thing which she has to offer. VIVIAN ZIMMERMAN Running Muay jean Evans was a smart young girl in her teens, and as so many people just exist from day to day, so it was with jean. Yet she day-dreamed of going to the school dance with the hero of the basketball team. When she dis- covered that her hero was seen only with the best looking girls of the town, all hope vanished, for she knew that he would never look at jean Evans, the girl with the braces on her teeth, and the thick lenses in front of her eyes. So it was that she stayed at home on the night of the dance, and every dance thereafter. Something changed in jean. She didn't quite know what it was, yet she found that there was only one thing that interested her, and that was to understand people. She knew she would never be happy unless she did .... There was only one way to understand people thoroughly, and that was to study psychology. After jean graduated from high school she entered college. She made many friends, but all of her spare time was devoted to her studies. The long years were difficult but her one interest in life was soon to take shape. The day finally arrived when she received her degree. Z1 In a short while Iean secured a good position in one of the foremost hos- pitals that specialized in mental cases. The first few months were not easy, she was constantly on the go. She made it her business to become well ac- quainted with as many patients as possible. There was little time for her to think as well as breathe. The only thing that mattered was the enjoyment of her work resulting from the greater understanding of people. After two years of this lean felt that she should have an office of her own. It was a wonderful feeling for her when the first appointment was made, and only a year later the appointment book couldn't hold any more names. Iean now had many friends, and whatever spare time she had she would spend with them. There was never any man in her life. If there was such a thing as meeting Mn Wright, she had never met him. lean was quite an attractive person. The braces that were on her teeth had been taken off long ago, and in their place, beautiful white, straight teeth were to be seen. She was still wearing eye-glasses, but the lenses were not as thick as they were, and if one looked closely it wasn't too diPf1cult to see her lovely blue eyes. But her looks couldn't hide the sick, dry feeling that was within her. Her friends sensed this immediately and urged her to go away for awhile. After not too long a debate with herself she decided it would do her good to get away. In a short while she was in the country doing things she had almost forgotten about. She went swimming, rowing, played tennis, and if her energy allowed, she took long walks. lean began to like this way of life, and she soon found herself noticing the beauty of nature that was surrounding her. This diversion was doing wonders for her. Then, one day, an odd thing happened. She began thinking of her child- hood crush, and the dance she never had gone to. Strange that it was be- cause of that memory, because of that frustration, she became the great woman psychologist of her time. Day after day the same thing kept recurring. She had only one thought of mind, and that was what happened years ago. There must be an explanation for this, and she set out to find it. It wasn't too difficult for her to guess the answer and before long she realized that she barely understood herself. The very next thing she knew she was watching the most beautiful sunset she had ever seen, as the sun was setting over the mountains and the mountains seemed to be touching the sky. Suddenly the realization of all that was troubling her came as clear as a newborn day: she realized she was dreadfully afraid of facing the reality of life. She had been running away from herself and life, and sub-conciously she pushed her own life away by helping others. ' lean Evans, the great woman psychologist, solved one of the most important cases of her career. She now understood herself, and she felt that there was a new life to be had for her. Whenever the right one would come along she plans to share it with him .... . BY IACQUELINE LEVINSKY ZZ f , JA, Qf yc:,0jiig? R55 Mrs. Pollack, M1'.

A bright sun washed clean by raing Dark skies with one star aglowg 'The calm and busy place of Sundaysg Dancing to the rhythm of soft musicg The fragrance and lift in sweet spring airg The songs of birds floating down from green tree-topsg The warmth and security of a cozy bedg The feeling that follows the raising of the flagg Reflective moments after reading a good bookg The good clean feeling after teeth are brushedg My mother's voice that echoes from my childhood years. Sweetness of taffy melting in the mouthg The glow of soft hairg The music of a tinkling piano coming from afarg The restfulness of pink clouds resting on a blue skyg The eagerness of dawn creeping into morning lightg PHILIP GUTERIVIAN The relaxed feeling when cool sheets touch a warm bodyg The eyes of a child to whom you are an idolg The richness and variety of living as you think backg Being wanted by the one you love. Enchanting music softly winding through the darkg Wfatching a marriage in a Hower-filled churchg Rain spattering on face and hairg Picking mushrooms in a damp forestg Fruit trees in full bloomg Bouncing on fresh-cut, sun warmed hayg Seeing dim city outlines as you go up a mountain in The skyline of New York from a ferry boat at nightg A goldfish gently waving his tail in a bowlg XVaves racing up and down the sandg The sun streaming through an opening in a cloud. Z8 SEENA GREENBERG carp ANN MIRONUK By George S. Daniels Fraternite Cen tml Commercia' It's a building, small and rather awkward looking, dwarfed by high, shining structures. It's a part-time home to thousands of boys and girls. It's a place where all religions, races, and creeds are respected-an island of de- mocracy in action in a city where democracy is sometimes forgotten. It's two minutes to get to school on time and wondering whether to cross the street, treacherous with taxis and trucks, while the red light Hashes and the cop frowns. It's students going up the foot worn steps after the last quick gulp of fresh air or the last drag on the cigarette and facing the drab black and gold of Central Commercial High School. It's girls, girls, girls, and a solitary boy slowly tearing themselves away from the Automat. It's a stiff-looking courtyard like a tuxedo on a man not used to wearing formal garments. It's the backward glance at 42nd street where citizens rush to jobs and students learn how to take them. It's the turtle-like pace with which students enter and their flight at the end of the day like a flock of pigeons let loose. It's the honking of horns and ringing of bells and shattering of a silence. It's the exchanging of the ridiculous slogans about Kilroy and Richard, the steady hum of boys and girls talking, the continuous grind of teaching, the opening and shutting of books, the scratching of pens like thousands of ticks of the clock. lt's the monitors directing you to the right staircase even if the one which is ten feet away would save a long walk to the upper floor. lt's the varied activities of the Home Room, the last swap of bubble gum, putting lipstick on straight, tiling chipped nails, getting answers to American History questions. lt's the cheerful, excited faces in gym as of children playing, and the same faces in the English room now still as those of soldiers at attention. It's the height of hilarity that fills the auditorium at noon, the messenger service for teachers freely given by students who love to miss class. It's a school iilling like a mechanical machine with morning students leaving by rear entrance and the afternoon session quickly refilling the empty school. 30 lt's the beautiful restful music We sing with Mrs. Mandel, the rhythmic beat of typevvriters, the contrasting odors of the Florist Shop and the Dental Lab. lt's the bookkeeping test taken in silence like the moment before in- vasion, and your pen running dry in the middle of 85 Words a minute dic- tation, and your holding back those explosive Words that come to mind. lt's looking out of the Window and seeing the Empire State standing guard over the city. lt's the four flight relay for place on the lunch line, the Waste baskets full of ice-cream cups, cake Wrappers, and cookie boxes after the ten minute snack period which to hungry Centralites is as Welcome as a picnic lunch at Coney Island. It's the peck, peck of typewriters trans- forming those crazy-looking loops, dashes, and lines into English lt's the school band practising to hit the same note simultaneously. lt's the thrill of the Prom, the whirl of graduation preparations, the Senior Play with three months of hard vvork for three performances, Red Letter Day and madness done up in the brightest of colors, and the Senior Assembly looking like a field of red poppies. It's the messages from Mr. Massell over the loudspeaker making us sprout wings with pride or hang our heads in shame. That's All. ltls the dragging day in the PM Session with the sun going dovvn over the buildings and lights in school going on. lt's one more period to go. lt's going, going, gone. For heaven's sake, is it still going? Bong! It's the con- gregations at the corner at dismissal time like town meetings of old. It's the general let-down feeling and a tired school which needs a Bromo after all it has seen and heard. lt's dismissal, grabbing your coat, lining up for the street, the dark night air, groans as the train pulls out, and Open the Door Richard! lt's the Third Avenue El humming happily for home like a good-natured demon in the night. lt's a once noisy street quiet with perhaps a man walk- ing to the Waterfront in Tudor City. It's peace for 42nd Street but not for long!

She was thinking of her date last night. You see Iulie had had her eye on Ieriy Dixon since she had entered high school. To her Ierry was the handsomest, best dressed and . . . well, to put it in a nut shell, he was her dream man. Now she was in eighth term and he had finally taken her out. That was not the reason she was crying. lt was what had happened on the date that made her feel so miserable. Julie had taken such pains in getting dressed for her date. In fact, it had taken her all day. Wlreii she was Hnished she knew that her toil had not been in vain because she looked lovely. Ieriy came promptly at eight. She had been ready since half-past seven but she waited in her room fcoat and allj for about live minutes before she came out. Iulie did not want to appear too anxious. Hello's were said and then they started down the stairs. Then it happened . . . Iulie caught her heel and toppled down three steps and landed in the clumsiest position imaginable! After Ierry picked her up they continued on their way. Ierry said they were going to the movies which was satisfactory to her. She loved the movies. S 24305 44 lfaal lilwlllrel Wlien the show was about half over, Iulie started to get hungry. This wouldn't be so bad if her stomach would behave, but it didn't. Every time she breathed, her tummy would hiccough. To her, it seemed louder than thunder. So she held her breath as long as possible, but every time she started to turn blue she had to breathe. No one was even more delighted than Iulie when that show had ended. It seemed to last for hours and hours and a person just has to breathe once in a while. Ierry suggested going for a soda. Of course, she agreed. He ordered a double-dip French strawberry soda and she, a double-dip black and white. VVhile waiting for the sodas, they talked about the picture they had seen, school, and other things. Then the sodas were served. Iulie was drinking her soda, but she was so absorbed in what Ierry was saying that she did not realize that she had finished it and the suction from the straw in the bottom of the glass made a slurping sound that seemed to resound through the whole ice-cream parlor! When Iulie's face returned to its natural color, Ierry had taken her home but he failed to mention anything about any future dates with her. That's why she lay there wishing for death and telling herself what a clumsy, care- less, fool she had been. Then the phone rang and she dried her eyes, blew her nose, and answered. The voice on the other end made her eyes light up, her sagging mouth turn into a smile reaching from ear to ear and her heart beat like a machine gun for it was Ierry . . . asking her for another date! ! ! IOAN SCHROEDER B ! v ,gl SX' L? T Ill Q T- Z T s- 45 Co' mencement Though M l Looking toward tomorrow, preparatory to stepping into the business world, we hesitate somewhat. We enter a world which is still undergoing a period of readjustment, a world which seems not to be one. With our technical skill and knowledge we seem adequately prepared to face this world. We eagerly await the day when we shall venture forth, for we shall direct our efforts toward social improvement, economic advancement, and Democracy for all! So, with high ideals and enthusiasm we are prepared to serve as Citizens, U. S. A., and Citizens, One World! MARY LEE looking Wrward In September 1944 a group of young boys and girls entered a world that was strange to them. They were on the doorstep to an almost-adult world. They looked upon their teachers as leaders who would lead them into a new cycle of their lives. Their teachers taught them many things, all the lessons making them better people and citizens of today and tomorrow. Now that they are going into a different world, a puzzled world, a world of the atomic bomb. They will have to be well-prepared in order to cope with elements as dangerous as these. The world belongs to us, the citizens of today, to do with as we and all the other young boys and girls of the world see fit. We hope that we will make such a world that the future generations will live in peace, in security, and without fear. PHYLLIS SIGMUND 46 I v ji 1 1 Toward A Better World In Hppreciation Our three years in Central Commercial have been an unforgettable experience. We have enjoyed the thrill of Red Letter Day, and the glovv of graduation. The association we have had with our teachers has taught us tolerance, cooperation, and living in today's democratic World. They have taught us to guard against smugness, and irresponsibility. We have been given an opportunity to practice democracy in our classes and in our school organizations, and we are now ready to take our place in the great democracy, the United States of America. Now We better understand the right and privileges We enjoy under our Constitution, and we realize the extent of our obligations to our country. We would like to grant to future classes the privileges we have enjoyed in Central Commercial, for here Mr. Massell, our principal, and our teachers have taught lessons that will last forever. PHYLLIS SIGIXIUND Parting id .auch Sweet Sorrow Romeo and ju1iet -Shakespeare As june 1947 is left farther and farther behind, we'll recall our days at Central Commercial with mixed sentiments. No longer will We think of the petty annoyances of the classroom, of the regulations we once thought so irksome, nor of the too frequently unexpected tests that once irritated us so. All these will fade into the background of our richly colored high school memories. Before we glide past the portals of today into the future, a good many of us will hesitate and look back with a Warm surging emotion as vve recall the fine friends and events, some enjoyable, some difficult. Probably as 1947 becomes 1957 and 1967 and even 1977, as the graduates of Central Com- mercial of june 1947 take their various places in different walks of life and gradually lose the youthful characteristics of Central Commercial's Seniors, we will stop a moment or two and reminisce, sometimes chuckling, some- times serious, remembering our days at Central. MATILDA COHEN 48 7lneAe are the 77meA . . . These are the times that try men's souls- The words of great Tom Paine are better now, Now after almost twice a hundred years. Narrow oppression, and subtle cruelty, Brutality that does not cease, Crush the blackman, divide him from the white, Nor have they stopped though eager hearts have bled. Time like a river, I 've been told, will wash away the evil, But time has passed and passed and still we wait. And will our children live in futile waiting, Or will they in their time not comprehend Our angry fear, our tense humility, our centuries-long ache? Oh God, if I might know that sons of mine Will never bear the yoke of tolerance! Oh God! is man not won? BARBARA SATCHELL Ylnnung New He used to take me for a walk Or else we'd sit around and talk About the lands we'd like to see When war was just a memory. Remembered are the happy days When he would read me thrilling plays Of fairy queens and fantasies And things he knew a child would please. And once, when I was very sick He prayed, and I got well so quick. But now I pray for him instead- Because my story man is dead! Old Glory lies above him furled- For he has found a peaceful world Where he tells stories to a Of baby angels listening. . ring GEORGENA WAHNON Prom Committee Red-Letter Day Comnqggee . . fyfrx .
