A 12 THE WHIRLWIND 1943 . A 2 UpQPlnlQfl Qnl 5 essoqe ' We have now been at war nearly a year and ' a half. The impact of this gigantic struggle is affecting every institution and every individual of our great nation. The schools have been called upon to make many adjustments and to perform many new duties. We believe our teachers and our students have done a good job and merit the many expressions of appreciation. We know that new responsibilities are coming and earnestly trust we shall always be able and willing to do our full part. Soon after war began, we saw our former students joining the armed forces. Now they are leaving our classrooms. The 18 - year - old has been called, and the call has received a ready response. This has directed the attention of a grateful people to its youth in such a manner that an editorial writer has said, If the 18-year- W olds are old enough to defend our democratic j life on the battlefield, they are old enough to defend the American way at the ballot box. MR. R. E. MCCORMACK A senator has introduced a joint resolution before Congress proposing an amendment to the constitution that would extend suffrage to citizens of the United States who are eighteen years old or older. Why not? Youth will be ready to meet the new challenge. Learning about a functioning citizenship through classroom activities will take on a new zest when the functioning voice does not seem so far away. Do we believe in the youth of America? Let us hope that both confidence and appreciation will be shown by granting them the right to vote as soon as possible. The Albany school board now has its first woman member. We were grateful for the fine service of Mr. O. P. Romaine. Now we are glad to welcome Mrs. T. G. Cowgill to the ranks of a fine and competent board of education. The schools are moving smoothly ahead under its administration. The members are Mr. D. E. Nebergall, chairmang Mr. C. E. Spence, Mr. A. G. Senders, Mr. V. L. Calavan, and Mr. D. H. Brenneman, clerk.
