Sail, sail thy best, ship of Democracy, Of value is thy freight, 'tis not the Present only, The Past is also stored in thee, Thou holdest not the venture of thyself alone, not of the Western continent alone, Earth's resume entire floats on thy keel O ship, is steadied by thy spars, With thee Time voyages in trust, the antecedent nations sink or swim with thee, Wfith all their ancient struggles, martyrs, heroes, epics, wars, thou bear'st the other continents, Theirs, theirs as much as thine, the destinaion-port triumphant,- Steer then with good strong hands and wary eye O helmsman, thou carriest great companions, Venerable priestly Asia sails this day with thee, And royal feitilal Europe sails with thee, --WALT WHITMAN jlorewvrd AMERICA PRESENTS to her youth a rich land of vast forests, surging waters, illimitable resources, undulant plains, and magnificent mountains. She presents her heter- ogeneous population, of all nationalities and all beliefs, and proves by her very existence the strength of democracy. She presents teeming cities with variegated skylines, pulsing, humming factories, spectacular amusement halls, so representative of the American scene, church spires quietly drawing the mind of man to thoughts of his Creator. She presents endless miles of glistening rails, stretching across her grasslands, slithering highways, binding her innumerable cities together. The Slav and the Czech, the Pole and the Russ, the Italian, the Dane, the Scot and the Dutch, the Frenchman, the German, the Englishman, Swede, the Irishman, Finn, and the Greek, men from all over the earth, free for the first time in their lives, labor together with men born here of parents born here, and descended of generations born here, and they sing together a song of their life. This free man's rhapsody, the song of America, arose first in the throats of the founders of this nation, and has risen through the years to an ever-swelling crescendo. All these things are worth fighting for. The schools of America draw her children together into a single body, American youth, whose life in a sock- and-sweater world of dates, football games, proms, and studies is filled with dreams of the future without the burdens of the future. The American youth lives a life of springs, each bringing a rebirth of his love, of sum- mers, with the drowsy delight in the sun on his back, of cool enveloping swimming-waters, of work, and of leisure, of living, of trees, grass, and close comradeship with Nature, of autumns with their perennial wonderment at l , p X l l yll l l' -5333?

These things are worth fighting for. And with these thoughts in mind, we have chosen This Is W'orth Fighting For as the theme of the Provi of 1945, for we feel that as we of Provi are part of the youth of America, and as Proviso is one of the schools of America, so our life at Proviso has been one of the immeasurable advantages of American youth. We have worked together as a whole, and we have grown together to reach the threshold of life with the deepest respect for our fellow men, and with unalterable memories of a free youth. In the pages which follow, we have striven to present those things of and about Proviso that are truly Worth Fighting For. They are part of us and it is our sincere wish that they may be part of the generations that are to succeed us as Citizens of Proviso.
