AMERICA. Before the world war had begun, Before the shrieking echoes rung From sea to sea, from shore to shore, And groaned aloud the whole world o'er- Before-so long ago it 'seems!- This was the land of rosy dreams, The country of the strong, the free- America! The swarthy sons of Italy, The peasants dark of Hungary, The careful frugal men of France- Alike did cast the Westward glance. I Artisans, miners, slaves of toil, Factors, farmers bound to the soil: Seeking all for liberty- The country of the strong, the free- America! And then across the startled world, War's black banner was unfurledg And terror reigned where all was peace! Vain prayers arose for wars to cease. But still from realm of crime and sin, And high above the battle's din, The hungry cry for food to Thee- The country of the strong, the free- America! Now once again across the sea The wild cry comes for liberty, Call of the women, call of the men: Brother to brother ! Answer we then- Quick from our shore, fling the emblem true- Herald of freedom-red, white, and blue! Down to the trenches, over the sea- From the country of the strong, the free- America! MAMIE RIEDEL, Mid-year, '17

. om' ks 0,31 1 91 7-ICONOCLASTS. The class of 1917 has the somewhat dubious honor of breaking more tra- ditions and making more new history than any class that has ever graduated from the Santa Barbara High School. With us comes in the mid-year gradua- tion and goes out the Baccalaureate Sermong with us, the Senior Play is shifted to the first semester and the junior Farce to the end of the third quarterg with us, comes to an end the good old sleepy commencement address, and in its stead a program featuring the students themselves. We hardly know whether we are coming or goingg but this we know, that we are on our way. In these disturb- ing changes, we may have side-stepped a bitg but we have tried to keep our faces steadily toward the East g tried not to lose sight of the guiding star. We have had opinions and have expressed them freely, but we have never closed our minds to that we might have the superior wisdom remember the Spirit truth. Now, that we are making our final bow, we wish clashed less frequently with higher-ups. We acknowledge of age and experience, but we ask our maturer friends to of Youth and of Live Young Blood. 11
