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.

Page Twelve The Staff at Work Cur Ideals We, the Seniors of S. T. H. S., are departing from a great institution - our school. Our country is involved in a World War ll. We are quite aware of the situation, but we have not learned the true meaning of an important factor in achieving victory - sacrifice. Every student of our school will contribute something to the welfare of his country. We are proud to uphold the ideals and laws of the United States, because all of us are Americans l l l The Seniors hope to achieve the following in the future: Observing each detail with the utmost care. Naming our objective. Thoughtful of important events. Obtaining the best education possible. Victorious over the enemy. Interested in the welfare of our country. Conserving our interests until a valuable opportunity arises. Thinking of others first. Offering our service to our country at any time. Ready for emergencies which may befall us. Yielding to our common, useful interests. We Seniors will be striving to uphold these ideals I I l MARGARET BRUCE.
