lf HD IKQ1lENWWiD1VE?,1!U The Perpetuation of the Ideals of Democracy-freedom of religion, speech and press, and right of assembly, freedom from want and fear, and freedom from ignorance+as they have been developed through the social foundations-the Home, the Church, the School, and the Community--is the theme of the June 1944 Chaney High School Annual. The frontispiece is a composite of young men and women of Chaney who, now in the uniforms of the many branches of the armed forces, are lighting for the continuance of these democratic ideals. The editorial contributions, embellishments, illustrations, and several pages of departmental pictures carry further the development of the theme. The book is replete with pictures of the administration and faculty, every class, club, organization, sports and music. Panels of the January and June, 1944 Seniors dominate the Hrst section of the Annual, and several snapshot pages indicate the nine divisions of the Annual-Introduction, Administration, January ' 44 Seniors, June ' 44 Seniors, Classes, Athletics, Music, Clubs and Organizations, Advertising and Snaps. The Annual is a complete history of the school and a lasting record in word and picture of what Chaney and its valiant sons and daughters and faculty members are doing on the Battle Front and on the Home Front to terminate World War II and to perpetuate the principles upon which this Democracy was founded. Long after Peace prevails, the owner of this bool: will look upon its possession with pride. An added pride in the Chaney Annual is gained from the fact that is is prepared, financed, and circulated entirely by the Chaney Journalism Department and printed in the Chaney Print Shop. Photographs, engravings, photoliths, and binding 'are done commercially.
