As the last year of our high school days draws to a close, the Class of '45 is confident that it has made a Wise decision in its choice of Barbara Hall as its Best Girl Citizen. MARY LEA PIOPPI AMERICAN HERITAGE Rolling plains, lofty heights, Rivers broad, valleys wide, Teeming cities, quiet towns, Farms at harvest, mill wheels turning Are the structure of my homeland. Roads that stretch like ribbons wide, Across the land from shore to shore, With their constant stream of traffic Over bridge, under mountains . Are the sinews of my country. Men at work, men at play, Kin of mine, friends of yours, Authors, farmers, men of science, Teachers, laborers, doctors, priests Build the bloodstream of my nation. Love of neighbor, care for poor, Constant striving for improvement, Freedom of religious worship, Liberty for all the people Mold the spirit of America. Structure, muscle, blood and spirit! Out of these was built my country- But without true love quite worthless. In the breast of every citizen Beats the heart of my America! MARY LEA PIOPPI Page 30
