if 3 HHH lllll As you go through this, your 1943 Chronoscope, you will see that it divides itself logically into two sections. ln the first section, Let's Think About It, you will see how the American system of education, which is the most vital factor in perpetuating our American Way of Life, functions here at Thornton Fractional in the hours from 8:35 to 3:34 during which we direct our thinking towards the social, economic, scientific, technical and cultural aspects of civilization. We learn what has been done, what must be done, and how to do it. Class pictures are naturally a part of this division. A t t In the second section Let's See How lt,Works you will see how the other .activities of the school carry out the principles we learn in the classroom and give us a chance to participate in the American Way of Life as well as to learn about it. Here belong the recognition of those who have earned special honors in activities of any sort. We have also placed here a few outstanding literary productions. Even our advertisers belong to this section, not only be- cause they represent American enterprise, but also because they represent faith in the achievement of our school. '

Here in school, as in the larger life, rich and poor may rub shoul- ders in common interests, whether they be in clubs, in games, in journalistic eiiorts or in any other extracurricular activity. Never be- fore has playing together and working together been so import- ant. Here at T. F. it Works. No one is forced to participate, but every- one is welcome to do so, and it's what you do, not what you are, that counts. .
