llieAe 'ibn a+tvL . . . JUiA. Jlcotd. What is America? America is little boys shouting “Hi-Ho Silver!”, jumping up and down to the William Tell Overture and calling it “The Lone Hanger Song.” America is brave men pushing westward into the wilderness, braving the unknown to open new frontiers. America is Babe Ruth, pointing to the far wall as, after two ham-door strikes, the crowd jeers; then on the next pitch slugging one of baseball’s longest homcrun halls over the exact spot he had indicated. America is Henry David Thoreau, philosophizing in the woods at Lake Walden in our own Massachusetts; spending only little more than three dollars for a year's provisions for his simple fare; speaking like a local St. Francis D'Assisi to the birds and beasts who came to the water's edge to drink. America is the courage of Bunker Hill, the beauty of “amber fields of grain, the morality of the Emancipation Proclamation. Here at the High School of Commerce, as young citizens of the United States, we look forward to joining the illustrious parade of democracy's people. All is not perfect. There is much to he done, and although we approach the future with conscious pride of what has been accomplished, it is also with a sense of humility concern- ing the tremendous tasks that remain. When these tasks loom up before us, we shall not he unprepared. The training we have received here, the practice in living democracy, in independent thinking, in intelligent action, will always stay with us. It is in appreciation of that training, then, that we dedicate this yearbook and its theme: American Ideals as they arc made reality at the High School of Commerce.
