DEDICATION The 20th century has been rocked by two World Wars, shocked by Hitler's mass extermination of millions of innocent people, and iolted into acute awareness of the nuclear bomb threat. Now, to the ever-growing list of man's disillusioning acts towards his fellow man, we can add yet another inhumane deed-the murder of the three civil rights workers, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney. As the Long, Hot Summer of 1964 began, it was obvious to everyone that the road to equality for the Negro would be a consistent uphill struggle. Yet we all hoped that anger and bigotry would not flare up and consume in such an irrevocable way. Three youths, along with hundreds of others, had gone to work in Mississippi as part of the Civil Rights Movement. Two were white, one a Negro, all had the single goal of furthering the cause of the Negro. But what motivated them? What was the drive, the urgency, that beckoned them to such a tragic destiny? Perhaps one of the three had felt the restless call that centuries before had brought his ancestors to a new and unexplored land and was now calling him to the untrodden soil of equality. To another, life might have been a dark wall, casting only vague shadows. For him the Civil Rights Movement might well have been the faint beginning of daylight which would scatter the shadows and doubts. Yet another could have been in- fected with a true desire to lift the suppression which has for so long ruled the Negroes' way of life. Whatever their separate motives may have been, these three boys- fiendishly killed, then buried in a common grave-now are eternally bound together in a common memory. One will never be remembered without the memory of the other two close at hand. Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney were Ameri- cans in every sense of the word. They died in an effort to make a reality of America's greatest ideal-that all men are created equal! To this worthy ideal and to these young martyrs, we, the graduating class of 1965, dedicate this Senior Saga. Charlotte Fischer
