Everyone of us would fight and die to protect our village, a representative part of this OUR OWN UNITED STATES, land of equality, justice and freedom. Many of our older friends have looked askance at our modem methods of edu¬ cation in schools, such as our own high quality schools in Johnson City, but in the life and teaching in our schools we have learned that we receive re¬ wards exactly equal to our effort and that our just share of life comes to us in due proportion as we invest our energy in keeping alive the spark which made such names as Lexington, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and The Alamo burn into our souls the principle that a man has a right to Liberty and that God cherishes the soul of man who was created in His image. Never again will we become soft. Vigilance will be our watchword, peace our ultimate objective but not until the world knows the Freedom which we enjoy. Do not worry, fathers and mothers, we may seem slap happy as we jitter and jive hither and yon but it still holds true that all work and no play does make Jack a dull boy . Our turn to work is here. We are unafraid. Our bodies are full of health, our heads are not bent with persecution and priva¬ tion. Our thinking has not been bent to the maniacal bigotry of any MASTER OF ISMS. We are free and as free young men and women we will remain free, so HELP US GOD. ALMA MATER I Hail the school that friendship ' s tether Firm and true unite; Loyal students bound together, By the Red and White CHORUS; School we love—J. C.—live for aye. In our memories. May we keep the ideals fostered In our hearts by thee. II Firmer still as time advances May our union be. We will strive to serve thee better By our loyalty. CHORUS III Love and sacrifice blended gladly. Thus shall life be bright. Hail to thee. Oh Alma Materl Hail, Oh Red and White! CHORUS

Editor-in Chief Quick getting Joyseeite subscription from Mr Ecdeston Dear friends: fir This annual of the new series, known as the Jayseeite, has been developed for your pleasure. The Senior Class of January 1942 made a formal request for an annual hut due to excessive cost of such a venture it was thought best to have only one each year and include members of both the January and June classes. Marcia Borden, Dorothy Kinney, George Paranagian and Leo Callahan nurtured the hope of a revival of an annual for Old J. C. and the Senior Class of June 1942 have carried their ideas forward. This book is not meant to be a conventional artists conception of a per¬ fect published book but is developed with the idea of providing a high school student’s conception of a scrap book in which to keep the most happy moments of a high school life in picture form. You will find that many of the pictures do not show the names of every person in the picture. This is planned to encourage you to have your friends, in those pictures, write their names by those pictures or even across them. This will pre¬ serve, for you, a most precious list of autographs which in your maturing life may mean more to you than you can even now imagine. We hope the Jayseeite becomes one of your most valued possessions. We have enjoyed producing it for you. A6 we scatter to the four corners of a new world envolving out of the most serious world struggle in years, this book may contain the only picture and written record of friends who will be doing their share to preserve the Democracy which we have come to love and respect in our happy days at old J. C. Johnson City, in the Valley of Good¬ will, a place where many have come from distant lands to build their own homes, work and receive just wages for their own labor, educate their chil¬ dren in full and equal opportunity with every other child, yes, good old Johnson City, a bright and cherished spot in w The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave M .
