QQMSW We, the students of Ponce de Leon High School should be ever grateful to these, our heroes, who have given their lives in the service of their country. To them we owe a debt, priceless, valuable, for they have died that we might live. They too walked daily through the familiar corridors of our Alma Mater, they too strolled the campus during their leisure minutes, they too felt that surge of pride as they received their precious high school diplomas, their lease on adult life-that life they were never to enjoy to its fullest CXIZCIII. These are not all who have made the supreme sacrifice, many others in this nation have paid the price for enjoying life in the United States of America, for being free to express their ambitions, their likes, dislikes, for attending excellent institutions of learning, for enjoying the opportunities, the rights, the duties of American citizenship. And there will be more who will give their all for the gift of liberty for coming generations. H But these are our heroes, and to them we lift our hearts filled with gratitude and pride, and salute them, MHail to Thee!

71 4 With a blare of trumpets, a parade of elephants, dancing clowns, and sawdus.t everywhere, the CAVALEON makes its 1945 debut. Yes, once again it's here! School life IS a circus-the joys, the tears, the excitement, the confusion we associate with the land of sawdust and pink lemonade are all part of the Ponce ,merry-go-round. The faculty trains us with the patience and skill of the circus ringmaster. We enter as freshmen, whose ignorance and antics remind everyone of the colorful clowns. The appearances and characters of the sophomores are as varied as that of the menagerie-the tawny coats, striped backs, the rage of the tigress, and the stubborness. of the zebra could easily be equalled by a glance at Ponce,s motley population. As the years pass, we gain the sophistication, the nknow-it-allnessv of the Barkers who bid us enter each door to the land of enchantment. So the juniors proclaim the wonders and the excitement of Ponce circusdom far and wide . . . And then, with a long, loud fanfare, the seniors appear: respected by all, they are recognized as the finished product, an example worth following. So the Slackwire Artists are marveled at by all who see them. One misstep and their whole world crumbles before them. As we enjoy the circus extras, the many sideshows, so the clubs and organizations, Ponceas sideshows, make our life more colorful and exciting. Without them we would lead a dull, drab life indeed. And how we idolize the M usclemen, those human supermen who amaze everyone with their deeds, showing daring and great strength. So -each Ponce fan cheers his heroes on to greater victory in the fields of sport. Look, here it comes! Even the many wartime shortages have failed to delay it, reminding us of the principle of all show business, 6'The show must go onf, The show IS going on, so letis see it all, read each line - guess how many surprises are in store for you!
