I 'W edication We believe that it was the unconquerable spirit of the early Forty- Niners that led them to endure hardships to develop new frontiers. We believe that in America new frontiers still exist in all the fields of human endeavor and the Forty-Niners of today are as daring, as agress- ive and as enterprising as those of yesteryear. They will make their contribution to the American way of life. With this hope and this faith in the American Youth we proudly ded- icate this book to THE FORTY-NINEHS OF MIAMI HIGH SCHOOL.

'F N N ' X . tx g +A, Nh f it WA W xi. 7.1! ' T A f Nobody planned the American Way It had no agenda or scheme, It grew from the spirit that moves in the clay The faith that makes fact of a dremmg Men built the American Way by their tail, With sweat and with laughter and tears, A way that was made on American soil By red-hearted, bold pioneers. They fought and they frolicked, grim, gallant and gay, They sang, in a boisterous key, The songs that reflect the American Way Loud, proud, self-reliant and free. They hewed through the forest, they furrowed the sod, And whether they frolicked or fought, The American Way was the way that they trod And the way that they felt and they thought. Though some of them wallowed in waste and in plunder, The American Way headed through .To heights of achievement that made the world wonder What secret America knew. No secret--but only the way of a nation That makes the odds fair when you play, And gives you a chance to work out your salvation Your own--the American--Way.
