SALUTATORY FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY As the night follows the day, on the heels of freedom follows responsibility. No nation, or no individual, long retains its' freedom if it does not face, up it's obligations and assume the responsibility of finding a solution to them. In the contemporary language of to- day, we cannot pass the buck. The problems ofanation are ours--yours and mine--for a nation is made up of individuals. In a short time, we, the class of 57, will find ourselves the participants in the struggle. In this game we will not need many bench warmers. Liberty, promised to us in the Declaration of Independence, is a taste to be acquired. Some ople and some nations have never had it long enough to know what it is. However, we are now ming in a period of history when countries all over the world are asserting their nationalism. The Glod Coast is the latest to become and independent member of the British Dominion. Also to be mentioned are the Phillipines and India. These countries, although charnping at the bit for some time, gained independence largely by proving themselves responsible. It is a trend that un- doubtedly will continue. On the other hand, many other countries have lost their freedom, either because they were unable or unwilling to protect it. As a nation we have suddenly found ourselves leader of the democracies, particulary of the westem world. ln addition to the problems that go with that position, we have our own internal troubles. Since the face of America is continually changing, difficulties that only a few years ago seemed far in the distance suddenly loom large on the horizon. For instance, one of the most immediate, not dreamed of ,fifteen years ago, is the solution of finding teachers and buildings to take care of the Eglreatly increased school attendance. Another not yet pressing, but soon to arrive, is the pro emo the aged. Because of the advances made in medicine in recent years, man's life span has been so lengthened that the proportion of older peo le in our population will greatlyincrease. We have as yet no adequate plan of adjusting to it. Also, oil must be poured on the troubled waters of racial disturbances. Other problems, as yet unforseen, will appear. - Freedom is a thing dearly won, but like a good reputation, easily lost. Many of the members of this class, in the past year, have earned the right to drive a car. How precious is that free- dom we soon leam, if we neglect to protect it by being responsible drivers. And, too, we have greater freedom in the places we may go, but with that privilege we assume the responsibility of conducting ourselves acceptably. As time goes by, we will gain other freedoms, but with them will always come the corre- sponding responsibility. Next fall we shall have the privilege of going to college, but the duty of maintaining standards adequate to the institution we are attending will be our task. Soon we shall be privileged to vote, but with it goes the obligation to vote intelligently. With the owner- ship of property, comes the dut of aying taxes. With marriage, the caring-for a family. It is easy to see that as our field of heeokam enlarges, our res nsibilites grow by leaps and bounds. Eventually, we shall be mature citizens taking our pllgce in some communit . We shall be selling our services or our products and if we are responsible citizens, we will be fair and just in our dealings. If not, we shall sooner or later find ourselves out of business, for deceptions, or lack of responsibility to the traditions of the trades or professions, will out. The more important our position in a community becomes, the greater will be the demands upon us. That is well illustrated by the Bibical story of the men who each received a certain number of talents. The story is as true today as it was then. Whenever two or more persons get together, differences of opinion are likel to arise. This is beneficial when the primary purpose is to seek the best solution, but it should' not be allowed to degenerate into dissension. Perhaps at this point we should also mention the over zealous pgrson, the person who insists upon assuming t e responsibility of another, to the detriment of th. To get down to fine points, we could, as an example, mention the member of a group who uninvited. makes the decisions for the whole group, or -for the chairman. We should be 55
