theme In order thot on oppreciotion ond o better understonding of the people ond countries ot Lotin Americo might be estoblished in the minds of the students of Lee High School, we hove chosen os the theme ot our i944 Blue ond Groy, Our Lotin- Americon Neighbors. On crossing the southern frontier of the United Stotes into the Sponish-speolc ing republic ot Mexico one steps into o totally different world. Speech, oncestry, physicol oppeoronce, lows, customs, diet, government, ond tomily life, oll these ore different, For to the South ond southeost ot the United Stotes stretch the twenty republics, moinly Iberion in origin, which constitute Lotin America, Lotin Americo covers on oreo which is obout three times the size ot the United Stotes ond hos o populotion ot obout o hundred million. These countries, which extend through every hobitoble Iotitude from the north temperote zone through the tropics to the Antorctics Secs, possess every climote ond every voriety of soil, ond con be mode to yield oll the vegetoble ond onimol products ot the whole world Most of these republics olso turnish on obundonce ond voriety of minerol products, All of these toctors combine to torm the countries which ore our Lotin-Americon neighbors.

llflllllllllllll ln no way can we who stay behind repay the debt we owe to those who take up arms and defend our homes, our families, our beliefs, and ideals. ln no way can we total the debt to those who laid down their lives so we might stand as tree men in a tree nation. Men of each generation since the founding of our nation have taken arms and battled for her cause. Some have tasted the wine of victory, some only the blood and steel, but each has gone torth from his home to give his all, ln this generation, too, men have answered the call of war, some from this very school. To those men and women we dedicate this I944 Blue and Gray, not as an installment on an unpayable debt, but as a simple thanks from all of us, and with a prayer for God's protection and a speedy, victorious return.
