School days will be but memories, Dreams we shall always hold dear. XYe've shared each otherls work and play, lforming lriendships lasting and true. Soon we must part-'liime goes so swiftly on. Our days together are few. XXI-'ll be remembering each happy hour 'liill we nitet again 'llhough we depart, deep in our hearts Memories will remain. Vivian Cant rel-M usic Virginia Clancy-Words CLASS POEM INVICTUS 'llhc long apprenticeship is over now, .-Xnd in the dimly lighted chapel's nave, 'llhe silent group of squires bow, All eager for the coming morn, 'When they will at last their armor don. .-Ks with the day the shadows fade, 'lihc sun touches upon the polished shields, And on their shoulders, the accolade Of knighthood is laid with morning's light. Rise then each one, no longer squire but knight. Receive thy arms and bear them well: 'llhe sword of truth, the spear of honor. And let each one be proud to tell 'lihat through the years he will remain Linsullied by the world's slow stain. l,et life reward a man, a worthy knight, And when the tourneyls lists are closed, Find shield and armor still burnished bright. So quickly then, make fast chain and plate, lmpatiently the prancing steeds await. Nlounr then while the pennons fly, Let the drums roll, the bugles soundg :Xnd as the sun climbs in the sky, 'lihe proud host forms in solid line. Then through the gate. out into the world Rides the Class of Thirty-Nine. Virginia Adams

THE SHSSHMU 4 IEEE In our United States, religion is given open expression. It is not suppressed, nor is it a cause of persecution. Some people have been told that God no longer exists for them, and henceforth they must worship the state. We, as Americans, can have no conception of the complete and utter sense of loss that must follow such an ultimatum. Freedom of religion is guaranteed to us in our Constitution. Our idea of education in America is to enable the individual to make the greatest possible use of his abilities and powers. At an age when the young people of many nations are being taught to use weapons of war, we are being equipped with vocational and professional tools. We learn how to live, not how to kill. In America we set a high valuation on peace. Dictators are trying to inculcate the idea in their people that aggressive Wars are necessary and right. Since peace is our objective, we must work actively for it. Our first step is to learn not to judge a country by its radical leaders. We must recall that all people have the same problems as we have here. Parents Over There pray for their children's success and well being, and no doubt they hope as fervently as our parents, that 'teen-age boys and girls will not be sacrificed in any vain war. America will continue to be the right place in which to live if we make intelligent use of our privileges, and in particular, if we use sane judgment about our position in the event of another world war. America is one of the world's mightiest nations, but we do not believe that might makes right . VVe have learned by experience in one World YVar that an attempt to make the world safe for democracyn by Wai, resulted in more grave threats to a permanent peace. VVe are not interested in aggression, for we realize that the last war did not accomplish its objective. Our contribution to America and the world should be to demonstrate right here at home how well democracy can function. The youth of the Nation must carry on the ideals in which it has been trained. VVe pledge that our class will translate into deeds our loyalty and faith in the things which have made America great. u America! America! God mend thine ev'ry Haw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law. , Americal America! hlay God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine. Americal Americal God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. u Cynthia Hope T-elz1nd MQQSE INSTETUTE Ll5FiiQY 14 EFJQT Qffl'JTfiL,LY S, ffgptjy Niillfr 5,13 ,,w
