ALJ, , The world is yoursl the speeches begin And tresh, uniurrowed faces turn sober at'the words, The room is hushed with an unnatural stillness And upon the platform, under the burning lights, a voice repeats: The world is yours1 Yes, the world has always belonged to youth, They inherited itin 1775, 1812, 1865, 1898, 1917, and 1941. Andeach generation, as it received its legacy, With haughty assurance turned to its predecessors And exclaimed: You have failed, but we shall not. The world is oursl But they did fail, The mistakes of before were repeated, Caps and gowns became helmets and guns, Brave hopes lay drowned in pools ol blood and sweat, Youth, now old with endless burdens, laughed hollowly. Yes, the world was theirs. The world lies torn by hate and iearg Old men are again repeating those same mistakes that so many times have cost them Peace Vicious greed tears the remaining flesh oif starved and broken peoples, The vision of a free, new civilization is now stained and unrecognizable, And over everything lies a humid curtain ol dread, Forlthis time there' is no margin for error, Eternal Peace or Eternal Death!

Wlanry ,Hammond Vice President pon a lea I-nog, President . . aaa of 7 Three wondrous years, three glorious years in which oc- curred some of youths greatest and most splendid moments three years containing the realizations of hundreds of dreamsedances, dates, parties, yes, even tests and homework gall never-to-be-forgotten events. This is what the class of W'47 will remember for an eternity following their graduation. l-low could they possibly forget the exciting and tense moments of the traditional Senior A and B contest, or the antics of Philo Chambers, and the tooting of Mr, Kaplankz fabulous horn as he blew them on to victory in the Senior A and B quiz-or the long-awaited Senior prom and break' fast made so successful by their able sponsor, Miss Inez Hodge, and their president, Ronald Barnett? Even as Bl2's. they had many exciting and precious mo- ments, climaxed by the Circus party, which included swimming, dancing, dinner and the best in entertainment and was enjoyed by all the members of the class Among these students were six Ephebians and fifteen other members who reached the envied heights of being CSFS. lt is this class that inaugurated the system of pre-enrollment of Senior A's, enabling them to assist the teachers with sign- ing up the remaining students, and therefore relieving some of the congestion and tenseness found on enrollment day. Their Senior sweaters and pins proudly bore the green and white emblems which constantly made them known to other Romans. Having presented their Alma Mater with a bulletin board to be used and seen by all LA, students, present and future the Senior Class of Winter '47 lifted high their heads, and with lips smiling with thoughts of the future, and eyes gleaming with pleasant memories, they passed through the portals which so shortly before had welcomed them LA.
