 The Star-Spangled Banner still flies on both noisy and quiet streets throughout our country—and the Fourth of july is still a time for celebrating. The Flag, the Liberty Bell and other trusted symbols still stand for the same hopes and ideals our ancestors' set out 200 years ago, and which have proved sounder with each new challenge. And when Old Glory goes by, it still causes us to stand reverently straight, tall and proud. So proudly We hail Our country's 200th birthday! , ■■ CONTENTS Student Life Page 16 Administration Page 44 Curriculum Page 50 Sports Page 84 Classmates Page 102 Advertising Page 160 5

The Star-Spangled Banner O! say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming: Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming, And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O! say, does that Star-spangled Banner still wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mist of the deep. Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep. As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam— In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream; 'Tis the Star-spangled Banner, O! long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is the band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a country would leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave! And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the foe's desolation; Bless’d with victory and peace, may our Heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just— And this be our motto—“In God is our trust!” And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Francis Scott Key September 13-14, 1814
