Our nation stands in the middle of this chaosg therefore, it is important for us to stand firm for the things for which we have so long been noted. Our Constitution was adopted in 1789 after much thought and criticism by our since-famous statesmen. lt described or set forth in the language of their period the ideals we now hold so sacred. These ideals were strengthened by the trials and tribulations of the period prior to the drawing up of this historic document. ln our own day ideals such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want are now being threatened. How will we answer this challenge? What does our future hold? The young men and women of today are the only ones who can answer these questions. What is our school doing to prepare us to take up this challenge? lt is helping us to acquire sufficient knowledge so that we may be capable of meeting with competence the problems of the future world. It is deepening our realization that we will take an important part in molding the peace of our country. It is making us comprehend that the world, which will be in our hands, must be taken care of. However, while we still remain in our legal infancy we are doing our meager bit. We have united in well sponsored clubs to keep ablaze in our hearts the flame of charity. We have visited such institutions as orphanages, old people's homes, and veterans' hospitals. Some clubs have even helped par- tially support national organizations for the help of sufferers of cerebral palsy or infantile paralysis. This participation occurs above and beyond the regular financial efforts of the general student body. As adults we will be able to do even more. This is a bright prospect, for we have liked our taste of responsibility and, as vigorous youths, we are eager to ad- vance in every field. So long as We have the enthusiasm and pep so characteristic of our age-group, we must push ourselves to incomparable efforts to learn all the facts pertaining to World relations as well as national and state affairs. We do not live in a world by ourselves. Wake up, young America, for our day is here. FREEDOM AND

OUR DIRECTOR Mr. Clarence B. Carey Miss Mary Anne Carey Most people associate a principal with an impatient, lecture-giving, non- caring individual, content to Walk through the halls of his school and accept with unfounded gratitude the compliments handed to him. However, the pupils at Iones are proud that this is not the picture of our director and friend Mr. Carey. Friend, describes him perfectly for he is kind and understanding - and above all he takes time out to listen to the troubles of us students. Mr. Carey, born in Chicago, graduated from high school when he was fifteen. He began Work as an office boy at what is now the Chicago Herald American. He was affiliated with this paper all through his college years, first as a reporter, then a Writer, and finally as editor of the sports department. Mr. Carey has a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce and a Master's Degree in Business Administration. He taught filing, typing, journalism, and salesman- ship at lones before he became director of the school in l942. Our director has four children ranging from Mark, five, William, thirteen, Clarence B. lunior, sixteen, to Mary Ann, who is seventeen. lncidentally in the summer of l95O Mary Ann attended lones to learn to type properly. Mr. Carey credits much of his success to fate, but says - in the very next breath - that fate rewards only those who work to achieve success. He said also that there are higher spiritual goals for him and for all of us to reach.
