ibm Irene Szuch Valed1ctor1an From her commencement address We have chosen as our motto Amb1t1on has no Rest We must have the ambition to conquer the many problems that constantly tend to destroy our Amer1can way of l1v1ng and we cannot do this if we stop to rest At this very moment there IS a nat1onw1de problem which in volves the safety and protection of each 1nd1v1dual1n our homes our communities and in our own city as well as the rest of the nation This critical problem 1S vandal of art and literature the standards of our c1v1l1zat1on and culture Vandalism IS a v1tal problem because It 1S causing m1111ons of dollars of destruct1on to our schools l brarles parks homes publ1cbu11d1ngs and churches each year These ru1nous acts are the results of thoughtless actions of youths rangmg in age from ten to e1ghteen These are Amer1can youths termed vandals by the public and the law These youths thevandals arepre sentmg us w1th an enemy which IS even more d1ff1cult to defeat than commumst soldiers 1n Korea These youths are part of our people, friends members of our fam1l1es and people we love Our challenge IS to destroy this menace before we are destroyed morally ethically and physically by it We can have no t1me outs to rest Our concentrated efforts must win Eva Rohaly Salutato nan From her commencement address Freedom' It s a simple word 1sn tit? Easy to spell and even eas1er to say and whether we know lt or not we are 1n love w1th It But do we g1V6 it enough thought? No because it 1S Just as much a part of us as lS breathmg and seldom do we stop to think about this natural process of our bod1es called breathmg We take breathmg for granted We take freedom for granted too It 1S only natural for us to talk as we please ex and spend our money any way we l1ke What 1S freedom? Does it mean absence of restraint? What IS freedom in America today? That IS WHAT do we WANT to make lt mean? If we are to enJoy the pr1v1leges of freedom social freedom, pol1t1cal freedom economlc freedom re l1g1ous freedom and 1n general nat1onal freedom we must realize the 1mportant role each of us plays in es tabl1sh1ng and ma1nta1n1ng these freedoms Each of us is dependent for his freedoms upon his ne1ghbor s self restra1nt Freedom means nothmg if we conceive lt in self1sh terms alone A dynam1c l1v1ng freedom IS a game that requires teamwork cooperation and a thorough understanding of the rules C I Ki ' ' 77 !

Reminiscing by Joyce Childs We came to Southwestern as freshies one day, As fresh as the smell of new mown hay. We were tricked, we were teased by seniors so mighty, Elevator passes were not taken lightly. We hunted, we looked, we peeked and pried, Now, I wonder where did that elevator hide. S As sophomores we began to think we belonged, We won recognition for which we had longed. On 11A Day we dressed slick as eelsg The girls walked the halls teetering on heels. Then seniors at last we finally became, Our variety show acquired great fame. The 12B dance went without a miss, As we danced to the music of Bert Djerkiss. Our thespians presented The Little Dog Laughed , A psychologic comedy executed with craft. The faculty game and our senior dance passed, Flower day and Gown Day were left to the last. These four years are gone, how fast they flew Beneath our colors of gold and blue. I ' I Joyce Childs We waited impatiently for this day, And now it's come, too fast we say. School problems are conquered, we've had great fun! Lessons and book reports are all done. With a sigh our books are laid to restg We know that we have tried our best. Suddenly we're saddened and now comes a tear, We're leaving to memory the school we hold dear. Reminiscent though we are, New paths will lead us high and far. His guiding star each will grasp, But memories of Southwestern will never pass. ll' --.N
