FACULTY We Remember Their Endeavors We are extremely sorry that the pictures of several members of our faculty will not ap- pear in The Aquila. When some of our present teachers became members of our High School Faculty, the pictures of their predecessors had already been sent to the engraver. When the budget for our yearbook was set up we were forced to limit the number of en- graving plates in order to hold down our costs. Much as we would like to have included the Page Eight MR.

If we were to go beyond the amount set up in our budget, our Senior Class would have to pay the debt that would be incurred. No previous Se- nior Class has left any outstanding debts when it graduated and we do not want to be the first to leave unpaid debts behind us. Shorthand, Mathematics, Junior Busi-

Page Ten Struggle for Freedom This year, l942, will be remembered as the year the Second World War took place. We, the Graduating Students of Snowden Township High School, shall be regarded as the first Seniors to take our places in this exigent duration. Facing this eventful era, we are striving toward victory - in the school rooms as well as our homes. We must not forget that we are Americans, a word that should ring in our hearts at all times. We must all be occupied with willing capacity for freedom. Each and every loyal citizen of the United States believes and upholds the prediction of VICTORY FOR PEACE, in the future days or years to come. But time does not matter. What does matter is to win this war - not for military glory, but for the privilege of carrying on the battle of peace in the future. Only we, Americans, can carry out this gigantic task, We realize the position in which this country stands, and as little as we seem in such a vast population, we are doing our part to expand this victorious spirit throughout our community. This appeal of achievements will forever prolong our memories, and will give us the spirit that every good American should possess. Despite this duration, it is our privilege as Seniors to acquire the ability to face the future as men and women. Everyone is discussing the kind of world he intends to help build after this fighting is over. We come in contact with several forms of victory in our school years. Everyone strives for victory, even though he may not realize it. While at games we try to gain victory by excitement and pep. Now at war we will strive to gain victory by fighting. The Antagonist may struggle even though he is prepared for superior victory. We also are the Antagonistg we try to be victorious as well as the other person. The enemy may have the greatest equipment obtainable, but lacks the spirit and the loyalty of its citizens. Because of this, they will be defeated. Every American has the spirit and the loyalty for our Nation. We also have the protection that is needed so extensively at the present. Victory is well defined - to be superior and triumphant. To be superior is a great honor in every field of life - be superior in work, be superior in play, be superior in Freedom. We strive for all these and try to be triumphant. This may not be the kind of world in which the generation has lived, but if it achieves the ends for which we are fighting, we will have done our part. l..et everyone shoulder his responsibilities to his country, then we cannot lose. Victory will be ours. ANNE WATTIK.
