nlaeruiding rincayoa Martin E. VVeaver Dear Seniors: Congratulations on your selection of another four- bell theme - Together We Build . If we will all adopt your theme as a clay by day philosophy we will then have at our command the only power that will successfully stave off the devastating effects of atomic energy. All mankind's hopes will come crashing down again if we fail once more in the working out of a global plan that will include all of the people of all of the lands. It is not enough to concern ourselves only with the Building Together that includes the affairs of our community, state, or nation. The only plan that will keep war from knocking at our door will be a plan that grows out of a world community. This world com- munity will come as an outgrowth of our open-minded- ness to want to understand the way of life of all of the people all over the world. We can no longer content ourselves with a country that is strong economically, socially, politically and religiously. Our new view must include the building together of better homes, better health and physical fitness, better schools, a world-Wide citizenship, a world comnumity life, and application of global cultural values and a devout faith in an interna- tional unity. Too often we have satisfied ourselves with being concerned only with problems that face the people of our own immediate community or nation. In the world of the future, we must all concern ourselves and must make it our business to learn more about all of the people all over the world. The wise man is the man who will make it a daily practice of gaining friends through an exchange of ideas with the people around him. The man who fails miserably in this life of ours is the man who refuses to concern himself with the prob- lems of those around him. lu the future, the sufferings of all of the people, all over the world, must be shared by all of us. The time has passed when we can com- placeutly sit by and not concern ourselves with the problems ol all of the people. Even in the midst of the war effort a smoldering tide of tension and antagonism broke into flame at many points. Grave problems are in sto1'c if we do not place this problem high on the priority list in the post war period. ADMI ISTH Tltl Shall we assume that the task is too great-that prejudices rooted thru the years cannot be overcome? Dare we hide our heads in the sands of complacency about bigotry, racial discriminations, and prejudices? The facts will not let us say, It can't happen here. We can expect to have antagonisms as long as there is cause for them. Immediate steps must be taken to remove discriminations against minority groups as rapidly as possible. But the long-run solution to the problem is education which will produce changes in the thinking and the action of men and women. In the proposed global community of tomorrow we must develop followers who understand the principles that they are following and who have of their own voli- tion, placed in position, the leaders whom they follow. The kind of leadership that we have been forced to accept in many countries of the world will not be in style in the world of tomorrow. VVe will accept and live by leadership that is the natural outgrowth of a working together for the best interest of all of the people all over the world. Totalitarian governments give the people no voice in government or no personal freedom. In our country most people make their own decisions, but in far too many cases they do not have enough education to do so wisely. Of the adults 25 years of age or over, 3 million have never gone to school at allg 13 per cent have not completed the 4th fradeg 56 per cent have only an 8th grade education or less, 75 per cent have not completed high school. America cannot afford to permit these conditions to continue. Many people with little formal education are among our best citizens, but, in general areas of educational neglect, are fertile soil for discontent, de- gradation and demagoguery. Then, with this as a working background, let us all open our minds and hearts and lend a helping hand across the world conference table fU.N.O.l in promoting a world community. It is hoped that through our brief period of living together here at Snowden, we have learned to be more tolerant of the actions and attitudes that are held by those people with whom we live day after day. It is our sincere concern to do service to you and yours at any time that you may feel the need for it. At any time after the day that you receive your diploma from this insti- tution, we will expect you to call upon us when you feel that we here in the Schools of Snowden Township can help in any small measure in any of your problems that will require a working together for the world of to- morrow. Thru life's paths let us all hold fast to the spirit of togetherness',, as the most vvholesome antidote for powers that are wrapped up for the destruction of man within the shell of atomic energy. With kindest regards, I remain, your friend and counselor, Martin E. Weaver Supervising Principal

TEACHERS' HUUHS This is a day to remember For the teachers of Snowden High, As we gathered together, To bid all, farewell and goodby. Here's Miss Pfeiffer with her stately walk, ller checking of the absentees, She listens patiently as we talk While we voice our fervent pleas. Miss Humes stands up so gracefully, To lead us in our final dance, It seems to us so very sad That ne'er again with her we'll prance. We listen to the jolly laughter, From Miss Potter's typing class And we always will remember, Her willing hand helped us to pass. Mrs. Danley's at the board Why can't we bisect this angle? Despite the knowledge we did hoard, We're still in quite a tangle. There's Miss Maloney with her smile, She always had a pleasant class, She wants to ponder for awhile As old memories come to pass. Mrs. Ramaley is standing by, With her smile and pleasant greeting And in bidding us goodby, She helps us make our hearts to sing. Thereis Miss Forsythe with her becoming modes, Her laughter and agreeability, Home Ec. classes were such fun Due to her capability. We hear the many, many sighs From Miss Philips' study sessions, And the student's daily cries Due to geography lessons. Who will build just what it takes Without the help of Mr. Dumm, If it's your want to learn He-'s the one to whom you come. Shorthand students will ne'er beseech To Miss Telban for grades received, She thinks of classes she will teach As former students turn to leave. Who will relieve our aches, our pains Since Mrs. Meahl cannot come, She's been on call if it shines or rains, And takes care of us 'til we get home. Mr. Philips is right on hand, He was with us just half a year His classes were just simply grand, In the short time he was here. Who will give us daily lectures On the training we all needy, Mr. Markley's help will guide us, If his warning we will heed. Weill see the bouncing of the ball In Mr. Citron's gym classes, And hear his laughter in the hall And his students' basketball passes. Weill long remember the laboratory And Mr. Elkois instructions, How to conduct Physics' experiments And still have the school in function. Miss Zeedick sits sedately by, Unlike her gay and festive classroom, And the gathering silently cries As we will have to leave her soon. Miss Murphy leads the band in song, Music rendered forth thereof, Will be remembered and cherished long, For the memories we all love. Mr. Weaver gives a speech To leave us one more memory, Of his guidance and understanding And supervision unsurpassed. As we leave this gathering here, We think of happy days gone by We hope to remember through the years This old building, Snowden High. Mary Ellen Kui tak
