To the class of 1947: The practice of world brotherhood today stands as the only hope for universal peace. The strength of our country rests in the fact that people of different races and creeds have learned to live together as Americans. But if we are honest with ourselves we know that intolerance exists. To live by the golden rule and the brotherhood of man; to spread intelligence and understanding; to give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; to make the most of one’s self and to work for the good of all ,should be the goal for every true American boy and girl in the Class of 47. The thought expressed in Herman Horne’s last verse of America recently written should be the prayer of all of us— Father of every race, Giver of every grace, Hear as we pray: Let every land be free. May all men brothers be, All nations honor Thee Now and for aye. MABEL R. FARLEY, Principal.

OUR GUIDING STARS Here we present our guiding stars, the faculty. First are Miss Jenkin, M rs. Reuther, and Mr. Galloway, who counsel our future stenographers; and Mr. Horne and Mr. Burkley, who train our physicists, scientists, and biolo- gists. To help us in foreign languages are Mrs. Neuman in Spanish, Miss Burt in French, and Mrs. Peterman in Latin. To know our own language better, we have Miss Wood, Miss McTiernan and Miss Wessell. Miss Clinch is on hand in the library to direct our way through the land of books. We must also learn something, however, of our background in world and Ameri- can history as taught by Miss Wetterauer, Mr. Wellon, and Mr. Mina. Mrs. Daly, Miss Franke, Mr. Millevolte, and Miss Holder make sure we enjoy ourselves in a healthy and happy way. No life is complete without a happy home; to light the way in this field we have Miss Clark and Miss Catalanotti. Our future Einsteins follow the stars of Miss Underhill and Mr. Laucks while our artists and craftsmen remember the words of Miss Byerley, Mr. Ellsworth, and Mr. Adams. Miss Spink and Miss Milster make sure we have music in our lives. Last but not least is our principal. Miss Farley, our counselor and inspiration for both curricular and extra-curricular affairs. Yes, as we look back, we see our teachers have truly guided us through our high school careers.
