THEME.. Since the beginning of history, men have attempted to write down their experiences. These tales have been developed from the early cave-men's pictures to our present-day books. Thru this literature, men have handed down the wisdom of the ages. By means of books we learn of the deeds of those before us, and treasure their memories. Part of the foundation of our democracy, the Bill of Rights, is concerned with freedom of speech and freedom of the press. We read of many foreign countries where men are not privileged to express their feelings in writings, we cannot imagine this be- cause our great government allows this freedom to all men, re- gardless of race, color or creed. i A Through books, men and women receive cultural background for their social lives. ln order to rise in the social world, it is necessary for one to be well-informed of world happenings from pre-historic ages to this modern time. One must face many social grievances, and cannot meet them unless one has knowledge of the rights and wrongs of society. lf we ever stopped to consider the great part that books have in our education, we would conclude that it is impossible to ad- vance without them. The first object a child receives when en- tering school is a book. For twelve succeeding years his life centers about books and the learning he receives from them. The first years of schooling are only preparation for the future. Whether we intend to enter college or obtain a job, it is neces- sary to receive the full benefits of school. The 1949 Seniors have chosen books as their theme in accord- ance with the dedication to Miss Shortall, who is our Librarian and a book lover. -3-
