For a long time it has been a dream of ours that some day we might pay tribute to the United States Armed Forces in San An- tonio, honored as the center of the largest concentration of mili- tary personnel and of military establishments in this land of ours. This year seemed the perfect time for such a theme. Then, after that never-to-be-forgotten seventh of December, it was only be- cause of the splendid co-operation of the Public Relations Offices of the Third Army, the Eighth Corps Area, and the seven closely guarded fields and posts in and near San Antonio-Fort Sam I-Iouston, Randolph Field, Kelly Field, Brooks Field, Duncan Field, Dodd Field, and Normoyle-that We were able to carry to success our cherished theme, the interest of Iefferson High in our Armed Forces. Our many visits to these fields, each trip so carefully planned and so well supervised by those in charge of us, make us hear even more keenly now the echo of the drumbeat, the tramp of marching feet, the Whirr of Wings in San Antonio's skies. The passage of a long Army convoy fills our hearts with intense , Q P pride that we too are Americans angythat our precious heritage is safe in the hands of these splefffdid Americans in America' ,-,, uniform. To the officers and men of the Public Relations Offices ' Your valuable time spent with us this year in showing us abou 'fi' your fields and posts and making our beautiful yearbook for us Was very well spent indeed, for through this VICTORY EDITION of the MONTICELLO, made possible only through your bcif courtesies, every Iefferson student, We feel sure, will have an even stronger interest in our Armed Forces, an even greater love for those in Whose hands is our destiny, and a much greater ap- preciation of the solemnity and the grandeur of the final chorus of that song you and all of us are singing this day in the key of ff 99

7fze 3164-Spangler! ganna O say can you see by the daWn's early light, What so proudly We hail'd at the tWilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts We Watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag gwas still there, O say does that star-Spangled bannerryet wave O'er the land ot the tree and the home ot the brave? O thus be it ever When treemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the War's desolationl Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must when our cause it is just, And this be our motto- ln God is our trust, And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall Wave O'er the land ot the tree and the home ot the brave.
