1 E E ' 1 Q 'Po mr: fwrzxrioas 5 You are growing up in one of lthe troubled periods of the 1world's history. True, the 1world's history has always been gmore or less troubled, but our ggeneration had hopes of lifting Imankind to a much higher plane through eliminating5mnnhFof'labon poverty, disease, and war. The fpresent world condition gives a Qserious setback to our progress gin fulfilling our hopes. In the zconfusion that exists, we wonder iwhat is best for us. One thing iis certain. As you grow older 'you must assume more and more the responsibility for meeting and 'solving the problems confronting Qmankind. One of the things you iwill need most in assuming your ,responsibilities is faith. has sa1d,NIn act- great enterprise takes its first faith.N to need faith in have many abili- i One great man gual life every ,begins with and iforward step in f You are going Uourself. You ities that are undeveloped and can ho much if you will support your belief in yourself with action. You will need faith in the prin- kiples of decency. Almost all mo- dern novels and shows hold up be- fore vou an unparalleled amount of utter lewd filth. Virtue is 5 mot old fashioned nor is vice new, but the latter often has a most attractive guise. You know what hs right. Have faith in your better judgment, likewise have Faith in Godg that is, have faith dn all things good and right, for Cod is the very essence of all hings good, and you cannot have aith in the one without faith in he other. In the troublesome time to ore, you will need faith in our ay of life--our democracy. A. amous writer has aptly said, 'despotism may govern without I 4 I la? fi K ' I STAFF Enimcaini For some several years--more than a decade in fact--the War Shoop has been sending out smoke. signals--editorials, society newsf sports notes, and humor. Sending- nessages via the Indian system has become popular in our 'highl school, and every third week the, watch and wait for the War whoop, begins. New our condehsed formQ of the year's signals, the senior' edition, is completed--the flast copy is chedked and balanced, thef last stencil cut and run, and the last copy of the final edition stapled and checked. This volume marks the last of a long line of contributions for some of us, and we here express our gratitude to have helped us. To our Miss Mary Cock and Mrs. 1 those who sponsors, L. B. Thomas, we owe our efficien- make-up and the crea- cy in the tive departments respectivelyg to you, our subscribers, for the con- tributions and subscriptions we are also indebted. Not satisfied but proud of our comulative ef- forts, we think this senior edi- tion completes the best volume tHe'QQr'Who5b hgs'ever'produced. F The work for these past four years has not been easy, but it has been fun. To say Ngoodbyen as a stalwart and brave Warrior should, is hard for usgbut hiding our emotions as best we can, we have a large lump in our throats 9 as we end our War whoop journey. In the future,-we wish you the best of luck as a part of Indian lore in smoke signaling. s I --The SGHiCT Staff faith, but Liberty cannot.H When our faith in our ability to ope- rate our free government is gone, our liberty itself will be gone. I sincerely hope that you may have everlasting faith in the right princioles. --LeRoy McClendon Page Eight I I

In a very short time she finds herself on a floating magic carpet--rid- ing high above the clouds in the year l955.In the Nunbodiedn spirit of dreams she visits old haunts and new and strange places in Port Neches, asking and eagerly picking up all the information she can about her former classmates. In Port Neches High School she sees a familiar face in the office, Who? None other than Margaret Allen, who has replaced W. J. after so long a time. As she floats about town, a large sign catches her eye-nBoyd's BeaneryU-why,it is owned and operated by Edward Earl. It's the swcllest eating joint in town too, 'so naturally she enters to find the neat form of the chief waitress most familiar--Barbara Cayard--still,Cayard--passing in and out a- mong tables with a dignified air. . And there's the old maids' home--exclusively operated by none other than Violet Flurry. Dorothy Choate is sitting on the porch knitting--what a change ten or more years can make! And in a stately mansion she finds Elna Gregory, married to a wealthy.man and an active lecturer to the P. T. A., entertaining a group of prominent people. Among the quests is Georgia H0rPiQf who is. instructor of jitterbugging in high school--what's the famous quartet, VThe Howell Howlers,H the most outstanding member of which is Riley Woolley.
