The teachers, who helpe d to make our school what is was, felt more responsibility toward us thr.n ever. Their inte.est in us continued to grow stronger. The Mountain Lion helped us over some of the rough pieces, of the land we were traveling in. On Dece 7, 1941, Japan mr.de an attack on the U. S. The following day, which was December 8, President Roosevelt asked Congress to issue a declaration of wr r on Japan. This brought a great crisis in our lives. ..fter we found that our country was in earnest, and the war grew, we began to prepare to meet the needs of our coming, life. We felt that we were facing one of the greatest problems in our life. Fortunately we had progressed until we were in the last year of our high school career. We would soon be able to help our country and fellow-men in the war. We had been taught that the way we lived in this land of living would be the way we lived out in life. Not realizing the full meaning of this, but with it constantly in our minds, we endeavored to live to the fullest degree. As we neared our Commencement we eould seo more clearly that we would have to be some type of citizen out in life that we had been in the land of schooling. In May, 194?., with diplomas in our hands, wo started out in the world to put into practice what v:e had learned in school. ,.fter the years of preparing to live we had faith and hope in our future. The Mountain Lion, so faithful and patient, never be forgotten by any of us. Our school, which is the Mountain Lion, gave us the fecst it had.
