A DREAM COMES TRUE She was only a Iwle in tlx ground when you left, but now she is a symphony. That's it, Joe! T fat’s the way to describe her, a symphony. Music, beautiful music: music of marble, steel, and con- crete. She is built of dreams, too, Joe: tlx dreams of tlx entire student body and faculty, of the architects wlx designed Ixr, of tlx laborers w x) constructed Ixr, and of the townspeople wlx) paid for Ixr. Six is an expensive dream, Joe, but, oh, so impressive—our new gym. Tlx new building, dedicated by Mr. Willis, president of tlx Illi- nois State High School Association, is big enough to muse the music and home living departments as well as the gym. You should see it, and you s xiuld watch our team play in it. Remember tlx fans talking critically and authoritatively about tlx box office? You can’t begin to name them, for they include tlx entire population. Tight game. Anxiety on every face. Anxiety and fear and lx pe and love—love for tlx team and an encompassing love for tlx sport. That’s American, too, Joe. Tlx flag still comes down in the afternoon. Never was a very impressive ceremony, was it, Joe? Still, you stop to watch tlx Stars and Stripes descend, and suddenly t xre is a lump in your throat, and your l at is off. We all feel that way now, you know; love of country and sclxiol spirit are one. High sc x ol days are more precious than ever. I know why you are fighting, Joe! You cannot forget these small, meaningful things—things that make up America. T xre will be more of us with you soon. We want to keep America free so that our children and our children’s children may enjoy t xse cherislxd memories, too.
