Read --One' ' 1 Vwan Las Americas! fvivun las Americas!--long live the Americas -Fmight well be the slogan of today's West- ern Hemisphere, so strong is the emphasis on an inter-American brew of friendship, co- operation, and understanding. Blended with English is the rapid flow of Spanish conversation in the streets of Mi- ami, a city on the rim of Pan-America. The sign uaqui se habla espanol in the majority of store windows is, like the Miami Latin News, a welcome appetizer for Spanish- speaking citizens. Coral Gables with its fa- mous Spanish-styled homes adds another gen- erous pinch of Latin seasoning. Since Ponce de Leon High School, too, has so much Spanish spice stirred into its tradi- tions, wc dip our spoons with enthusiasm into the melting-pot of the Good Neighbor Policy. ln view of our especial interest in all things Pan-American, we are particularly pleased to introduce diminutive El Ponso, a tiny Latin emissary who has beached his boat on the shores of Biscayne Bay, and to devote our energies to providing a warm welcome for this ambassador from south of the border. Wlith true Spanish hospitality, Weill share with him a year's vast wealth of enjoyment, experience, and achievement. VVe've planned his school schedule as carefully as the teach- ers plan our own. Heill come to know our faculty, vie with Ponceites in the field of sports, Msit ini' on club meetings, gleefully join us in school activities, and at the last, become a mighty senior in the class of '47-- a year of growth in physical and mental sta- ture, a year of progress in developing the brotherly feeling towards our near neighbors that is so essential to a world at peace. --DIANA ROESCH

Infinitely patient, they supported and directed us through many successful activities from the Freshman Sing through our Sophomore Dance, Junior Carnival and Prom, and senior graduation. To them, in deep appreciation of their unfailing loy- alty and firm hut gentle guidance, we dedicate this 1947 Cavaleon.
