THE FOUR CORNERS ' A MOTHER ' I )ny is over; night lias fallen As she stands and dries her tears; To her sons she is not calling:, They have gone perhaps for years. Dawn will come when night is o ' er, All thru the lands sweet peace will reign; And then the hearts of the world will soar, A ' ever to be broken and torn again. So till then, when light shall come, She keeps the fires burning bright: how, now is the beating drum, And high the courage through the night. Lee Swinbi’RXe, ’43.

THE FOUR CORNERS SCARBORO HIGH SCHOOL X umber 1 May, 1043 Volume XXXI Editorials DOING OUR PART In the heart of every student at Scar- boro High School lies a sincere desire to serve his country. We, the students, cannot serve on the battlefield, but we can, and are, playing an important role on the home front. Some of the students have given time to the Observation Post on the high school roof; some have sewed for the Red Cross or collected Scrap; some have helped Mrs. Libbov get out those newsy letters for the boys in the service at home and abroad. The Editorial Board feels that Tiie Font Cokxeks should serve, too. As a result, we are issuing this year an edition featuring Scar boro ' s Service Men. This year we have included snapshots of our boys in uniform, quotes from the boys’ letters, snapshots of ‘’what our hoys are fighting for ' and an account of what we are doing about it. We invite you to enjoy these pictures: read the letters from the boys; and thrill with pride at their accom¬ plishments. Although our school life has been al¬ tered. although we have had to give up some of the functions which have become traditional at $. H. S., such as the Thanks¬ giving presentation of the Senior play, you will find that we have not been idle. We. too, are in the scrap. With chins up, we face a future which claims eighteen-year- old boys and girls for armed service and defense industry, TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching out of the Senior Class, out of the Junior Class and into the Service. When the call came for eighteen-year-olds, Uncle Sam found a great many still at “the little rod schoolhouse. As Uncle Sam has always been a bit on the benevo¬ lent side, some of the fellows may be de¬ ferred until they graduate. The call of the country is strong and it isn ' t surprising if the shadow of a dive-bomber glides across the page of that open history book. Xow, we believe that if a high school education will make a student more useful to Uncle Sam, he should complete it. On rho other hand, if lie is just marking time, if those visions of planes, tanks and uni¬ forms come so fast that they blot out the printed page, then he shouldn’t waste time. He is needed in industry, for defense or for fighting, lie must not shirk wherever he is. NO LONGER THREE R ' S This year, in accordance with state rec¬ ommendations, ten new courses have been added to our high school curriculum. When you read through this list, you can readily perceive their practicability: Pre-
