COMET Hold High the Flag The American flag from the day of its birth Was an emblem of freedom to man o’er the earth; Thru the years, the oppressed have fled to our shore To abide ’neath the folds of the flag we adore. Since Pearl Harbor day, the dictators have tried To challenge the liberty that’s e’er been our pride. But rising to serve throughout the broad land Stands American Youth—a united band; Determined that all oppression must cease That mankind may live in safety and peace. In the ranks with the best, with ideals high Are the boys and the girls from our own Nazareth High. The boys join the arm, navy, marines; The girls do their share in auxiliary scenes. We’ll man the destroyers, the planes and the t anks And shoulder to shoulder we ' ll fill in the ranks, We’ll fight for our freedom, determined to win And unfurl our Old Glory o’er Tokyo and Berlin. i Ralph Stocker l

THE COMET GERALD ALTEMOSE “Altemose” Happy-go-lucky and genial are two adjectives that fit Jerry. Boy scout work and prize fights take up most of his spare time. You never see Gerald without also seeing Carl and Charlie with him. He intends to become an electrician if he isn’t taken into the Army. Track (1) (2); Senior Play, Electrician (3); Science Club (2). I ELAINE AUDENRIED “Rusty” The first impression of “Rusty” is that she is small, neat, pleasant, but very quiet. However, appearances are deceiving for she always brings life and fun into any crowd. Two of her main interests are skating and danc¬ ing. Have you noticed that “Rusty” is quite interested in the Navy? Commercial Club (1); Glee Club (1) (2) (3); A Cap- pella Choir (3); Operetta (1); May Festival (3). MARION BACHMAN “Marion” Fight! Team fight! Yes, it’s N. H. S.’s snappy head cheerleader, adding pep to the cheering section. Marion played a splendid role as Mrs. Miller in the senior play, “Young April.” She is very active in sports. When there’s merrymaking and dancing in the offing, this lassie is always in the center of the crowd. With her pleasing personality, Marion should be an outstanding “Woman in White.” Basketball (1) (2) (3); Hockey (1) (2) (3); Baseball (1) (2) (3); Blue and White (1) (2) (3); Cheerleader (2) (3); Volley Ball, Captain (1) (2) (3).
