Our servicemen strive for world peace Dea'z'cati0n Over a decade has passed and the fighting still con- tinues in Vietnam. American soldiers are being killed every day, but never forget the great service they are performing to insure peace for you. From the dangerous helicopter missions and the ter- ror filled jungles to the dirty, poverty-stricken villages, battles are fought and the men are wounded but their spirits never die. Relief is brought by the unselfishness of Bob Hope and other performers touring the world, lifting hearts, and bringing closer the memories of home. You can see a soldier using a make-shift bath tub, consisting of a poncho and a hole in the ground. All these pictures were taken by Alan Pysher fpic- tured at rightl, son of our school photographer. As- signed as a medic, Alan was wounded by the Viet Cong. We are very grateful to him and all the boys defending our country and all free people everywhere. Since the theme of our book this year is peace for all mankind, we feel it is appropriate to have these two pages serve both as a dedication and as a symbol of peace.

It was ayear of Prodigio us Events Having the toughest job in the world, President Nixon pushes numerous programs including tax re- form andthe fight against pollution. He is seen here on his tour of Vietnam taken just before he took office. Vice-Pres. Agnew is noted for his strong action when faced with pressure, always saying exactly what he thinks. He has, thus, gained the respect of many people throughout the nation. The most outstanding scientific achievement in history, the Apollo ll, which blasted off from Cape Kennedy on Iuly 16, 1969, at 9:32 a.m. and touched down on the Moon exactly 102 hours and 47 minutes later, was viewed by millions of people from every corner of the globe. Neil Armstrong, the first man ever to step on the Moon, was followed by Buzz Aldrin with Mike Collins orbiting the Moon in the command module. Causing much death and destruction, Hurricane Camelle struck in August 1969, leaving her mark in many areas, especially in Gulfport, Miss. where 3 substantial freighters were washed ashore after being bombarded by 150 mile per hour winds. The year of the underdog - the N.Y. Mets, perennial doormat of the National League, astound- ed the country by winning the World Series from Baltimore. Let us be Unitedfor Peace
