Heritage We, as Americans, may tend to be particularly interested in the subject of American History. And naturally so. Yet, this area draws attention from people of different nationalities as well, just as any American may have a keen curiosity for some heritage other than his own. Black Americans have a unique cultural background that arouses an interest in many, not blacks alone. The South High Auditorium in honor of Black History Week gave everyone the opportunity to see some interesting aspects of that culture, with which they may or may not have been familiar.

My clock told me that it was 11:02 as I finished my yearbook article and prepared for my favorite winter time activity, snuggling up under warm, cozy blankets. The last thing on my mind was the icy air that would cut down my coat and into my chest as I waited at the bus stop the next day. I misvctl the- mh . hut I tlitln’i mis tlic c oUl.
