The Oracle, December 1945

Creator

Bangor High School (Bangor, Me.)

Date

December 1945

Description

In this, the fifty-fifth edition of the B. H. S. "Oracle," several important themes have been followed. As usual, the spirit of Christmas has been portrayed; however, diverting from the "Christmas tree" and "Santa Claus" conception, we have stressed the sober realization that Christmas, 1945, signifies peace, an uneasy peace which cost no little sum in human sacrifice. So, too, the "Babe of Bethlehem" made the supreme sacrifice for the betterment of his fellow men. Another topic which we, the "Oracle Staff," have emphasized, is the excellent extra curricula program of Bangor High School. It is our firm belief that very few high schools in the United States offer such a comprehensive alinement of activities for the everlasting benefit of the students, you and me--benefits which will best fit us for American citizenship and for world fraternity.
