Since that day men through countless generations have striven and died to attain and keep that peace. The blood of ancient tribes mingled through the ages with the blood of modern man, staining a scarlet path to that supreme objective, Peace. The challenge of today is shall we obliterate the petty differences in race, creed and color and live in harmony? For today in a world of material- ism, in a world filled with the ravages of the recent war, with the yawning graves of our beloved war dead a silent testament to that last peace for which we fought and won, the dire need for men and nations to re-consecrate themselves to the principles of peace bedomes more evident each day. We, the members of the Editorial Staff of l9k8, dedicate this nwooden Shoe' to the spirit of tolerance, understanding and justice which alone can be the basis for worl eace X X W, J Ag! 2 R Y A I J' .lP 3

FUHEWUHD This year the theme of the nwooden Shoeu is one which we believe to be most appropriate, Americanism. It is good, we believe, for us to think about and to rededicate ourselves to those principles of real Americanism which caused our forefathers to found this land and which have been responsible for much of its greatness. Only by adhering re- ligiously to these principles of Americanism can our country fulfill the great role of leadership in maintaining world peace, a leadership in which it must not fail. It is absolutely necessary that dissension caused by differences in race, creed and color be removed from our American scene. Surely our school life has set a wonderful example for us in this respect for here tolerance toward and respect for our fellow students is the un- derlying law of our school society. At the beginning of each assllbly we have reverently and solem - ly said 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Amer- ica and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and Justice for alln. We can best make this pledge real and meaningful in our lives, by practicing the virtue of tolerance to- ward our fellow men. It is merely a question of whether we can carry over into our out-of-school and later adult l1fe,a way of living which we have practiced so successfully in school. 2
