It was midnight some 175 years ago that a man rode through the countryside calling his neighbors to arms. Freedom was at stake. History with deadly finality records the outcome of the struggle set off by that ride—a struggle that ended in freedom for all the people of this country—a freedom we take too lightly today. Maybe it’s because 175 years is a long time and none of us can remember that far back — maybe it's because we have gotten used to this thing called freedom—maybe it's because we have had it so long we can't imagine life without it—maybe we believe we just cannot lose it. Hut we can! Today, the threat against the freedom of the American people is as great as it was that memorable mghi I 75 years ago. In some sense greater, (iuns do not threaten us—no: yet at least —but an idea, a plan, artfully disguised, promises us the “secure” life. X hat will it cost ? Not much—just our freedom. • STUDENT GOVERNMENT 3itting from left to right-Ormie Nei, Fred Stephens, Eugene Sailor, Eugene Huber, Darlene Veigura, Mr. Gilsdorf, Eunice Huber.
