' ASSISTANT SUPERlNTENDENT'S M EssA GE America is the land of Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson. As such, it has created a glow of hope in the eyes and minds of people everywhere who are interested in the dignity of all men. America is a land of ever-increasing democratic practices. As such, it calls for the best from informed, educated, and concerned citizens if it is truly to reach the magnificent goal of government of the people, by the people and for the peo- ple. America is the first nation to attempt to provide free public education for all youth through twelve years of schooling. Such an endeavor enables the promising youth to rise to heights unknown by his counterpart in distant lands. As a result, an individual may become known widely for whathe can do and how well he can think rather than for the blue blood in his ancestors' veins. America will continue to be a beacon light and will remain strong and pros- perous as long as these national guidelines are paramount. - L. V, McNamee -

PRlNClPAL'S MESSAGE Principal J. J. Wilson The theme for the 1964 -li:-rl is We Salute Our American Heritage. The staff is to be con- gratulated on selecting such a timely topic. With the death of our great president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, we are made to realize even more poignantly the necessity for preserving the rightful traditions of our nation. We as patrons, teachers, and pupils must do all in our power to preserve and perpetuate the principles of democracy upon which rest the constitution and the framework of our government. As you turn the pages of this book, you will be made aware of how this school goes about the task of preparing young people to become functional in a democracy. They are learning common essen- tials, skills, vocations, industries, attitudes, and good citizenship which will help them to become real Americans. I salute the 1964 Q the staff, the Administration, the faculty, the students, and the patrons of Moore High. We are a vital part of The American Heritage.
