Seniors 1953 Parade of History - - United Nations And now we approach the final paragraph in the parade of history since we were in first grade. It is only right that we should think of the United Nations as our hope for world peace. In 1942, representatives of all nations then at war with the Axis powers gathered in our national capital where they signed what was known as the Declaration of the United Nations. It wasn't until 1944 that the Big Three the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union laid plans for a United Nations organization. In 1945 delegates from forty-six nations signed the constitution at a San Francisco meeting. The United Nations with her four main units, General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and the International Court of Justice, has come a long way. The early years were frequently characterized by differences of opinion between democratic nations on one side and Russia and her satellite states on the other. So today the world faces the problem—Can the democratic and totalitarian states work together for world peace? Perhaps the answer lies in the strengthening of the United Nations.

Our Favorite Teacher The class of 1953 is proud to have chosen Russell McGaughey for its favorite teacher. His vivid examples of modern democracy in action have given us a basis upon which to build a conception of citizenship. No man can teach a subject which he does not understand and believe. Mr. McGaughey is active in community, church, and school activities. Many teachers finish their day when the last bell rings, but not the master of room 214. Many evenings he has stayed to discuss problems with troubled students. Several of our class members who suffered severe illnesses are indebted to Mr. McGaughey who visited and comforted them whenever possible. In the Senior Problems of Democracy classes, many of the achievements of Clarion State Teachers College are stressed as our favorite teacher is an avid alumnus. Normally not an outspoken man, Mr. McGaughey has often stated that he believes a college graduate should be judged on his ability and not his degrees or his Alma Mater. A man with the high ideals and the fundamental honesty of our favorite teacher will long be remembered by the students who attended his classes. —Bernard Taylor 28 The Echo
