H. WALTER LOH MAN lP1r1i1n1c1ipall's Message To you the Class of IQSZU who have chosen the theme to carry through your yearbook-- Uncle Remus zu- Three generations of American readers, young and old, have learned to love the laughter and the widsom in the tales of Uncle Remus. The pranks of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear have become a real part of American folklore. It is said that few people are aware of the original sources from which they came. Those who really read and really love Uncle Remus, know that during the days of the Civil War. that one joel Chandler Harris, while in Georgia, heard some of these legends in the dialect of the Georgian Negro. With great care he recorded, compiled, and finally edited what he had heard. It was from these legends, this dialect, that the great Negro storyteller Uncle Remus was born. 'lt was from the very tongue of Uncle Remus, a humble slave living alone in his one room cabin, that Hrer Rabbit, lirer Fox, Brer Bear, and all his friends and even enemies come into being. Here they were born. It was Joel Chandler Harris who made these creatures immortal, and l'ncle Remus a character so lovable. so humorous. so understanding, that his influence lives in the hearts of men forever. lu each story there comes a moral, simple but true. Today, in this world of unrest and turmoil, if its people would apply the simple philosophies of Uncle Remus. there would be less trouble. From the beginning of man's struggle for knowledge, self-respect, and the recognition of his own rights, democracy is civilizations greatest gift. Page Eleven
