Zgefder e During the past four years of the most destructive war toward mankind, we have learned how important it is To Build Together. We soon awakened to the fact that we must all build and fight side by side if all the people of the world were to be given the right to live and work together peacefully. We, the Seniors of 46 , came into Snowden-thinking we were faced with the same problems as previous classes. As weeks and months went by, this was proved NVl'0I1g. Tremendous things were happening. All about us great changes were taking place and we were caught in the midst of it all. We learned then, as others are learning each day, that the home is the foundation of all good living. Without a good home you cannot have a good community. And what is the United States ----- mil- lions and millions of communities working together. But the home and community must go hand in hand with the schools. In the home we develop our character, personality, and religious beliefs. The school takes up from there and strengthens these individual traits. Through Civics and Problems of Democracy we leam how we may run our community as well as our nation. Through art, music, litera- ture, and history our cultural side is unfolded, and the better things of life are enjoyed. Another vital factor in keeping a happy world is health and physical fitness. If you do not have a world healthy in both mind and body, you do not have a progressive world. We are not blinded by all this talk of a machine world. We still need people with energy and determination to get ahead in the world to operate and manipulate them. We can take our rightful place in the working world and the community in which we live by taking full advantage of all the studies offered in the school. The boys work skillfully and carefully in shop, and the girls learn to make better homes through home economics, the boys and girls experiment in physics and chemistry for a better world through science. We must pledge ourselves to the task of building from all this maze, an educated, healthy, cultural, and peace-loving people. Milena Lenzi 2

XVe toiled, grew discouraged and laughed. but always together. The boys rehearsed arduously for days before they began to sell their wares to the publie. XVheu we were confronted with the task of identi- fying the pic-tures. we then realized that Freshmen also had given names. but we were a little dubious as to where to pin the proper name tags. The Aquila this year will mean more to us than just a book full of pictures. lt means the flowering of the best of our efforts here at Snowden.
