THE UNITED NATIONS We, the staff of the june Courier, 1944, have chosen as the theme of our book, the United Nations. ' The United Nations are fighting to suppress the Axis and maintain throughout the world life lived under the four freedoms. They have pledged to work as one, towards a common goal, and have seen the need for unity and coordination. For generations the students in the schools of our nation have worked together, stood side by side, have created lasting friendships. Long have they been living under these ideals that the United Nations are today fighting for. Because of the similarity of aims in our schools to those of these fighting countries, we selected the United Nations as a Htting theme for our books. The spirit is to be found in this semester's publication in the clubs, photographs, the poems, the articles, stories, art work, and in the support given us by the division rooms. -Eva Mae Alfonsi, Samuel Ball, C0-Editors-in.Chief.

Eva Mae Alfonsi, Ezlilar-in-Clsicf Miss Ruth W. Robinson Sponsor Marjory Furguson B1 nut b Edltor Georgia Wilson, Samuel Ball' Branch Editor Erlilor-in-Cbirf OUR THANKS The Courier Staff, always dependent on the co- operation and support received from the faculty and the student body, feels the need to express its appre- ciation now, more than ever, in this time of confu- sion, priorities, and shortages. We'd like to express our very deepest gratitude to Mr. Boyd, Mr. Dasher, Mr. Wagenman, Mr. Dean, Mr. Fristoe, Mr. Sander, and Miss Gallagher for the invaluable aid extended us. We are deeply indebted to Mrs. Moroni, Miss Ste- venson, and Miss Wright at Mt. Vernon, to Miss Change at Burnside, and Mrs. Myers at Curtis. The branch section was very dependent on their unstint- ing assistance. The faculty has a permanent place in our hearts for their understanding and help at any time. Too, we would like to thank the ofiice staff who have aided us much. Particularly, we are grateful to Miss Lund- quist, Mr. Zinngrabe, Miss Meinhardt, and Mr. Beals for their very special work in producing this year's Courier. We hope that the student body will be repaid for its generosity by having another fine book to add to its collection. We are very grateful to our division and class teachers for their leniency when Courier business has made it necessary for us to be absent. Thank you so much. Mr. Brown, Miss DeHaan, Miss Blachly, and Mr. Koedyker, our counselors, deserve a word of thanks for always being near with a willing hand. The community and the local papers have been grand to us, and we want them to know that we greatly appreciate their consideration. We wish to put into words our heartfelt gratitude to Miss Robinson. Without her untiring and zealous efforts in our behalf, her guidance and understanding, this book would never have been made possible. Here we have thanked just a few of the many who have aided us. TSO to those few and the many, may we say, very sincerely, thank you one and all. Eva Mae Alfonsi Samuel Ball, Co-Editors-in-Chief. Page 12 Eleanor Vander Meyds Sporls Editor John Tamminga, R.O.T.C.
