' X vzzf - gg., if 8DlTGQ1flLl NOW the question arises, What are we, the students of the Ithaca High School, going to do? What share of our country's burden are we going to take ? Some of us have already joined the great army of industrial workersg some have left to enter military training-camps g a few, perhaps, have actually crossed the water and are now somewhere in France. But every one of us has at least seen some dear friend or relative give up his work to place himself at the service of his coun- try. There is not one who has not felt the touch of war more keenly in the last few months than in all the previous years of its existence. That is because we ourselves are in it nowgwe are sending our brothers and fathers to defend our countryg we are now suffering all the heart-rending sorrow that our allies over the seas have suf- fered for three years. We have found that the enemy is not so far distant as he seemed. We have discovered that it is not the broad expanse of ocean that stands between us and destruction, but the strength of our Allies, who in defending them- selves are likewise defending us. And we are no longer willing to let others fight our battles. We will join the common cause and do our share to preserve the liberty of mankind! There is work for each one, even the smallest and weakest, and it is each one's duty to find out that work-and stick to it. Remember that the little things count as well as the big 9 and that your attitude is in many cases as important as the work you do. Do not criticize the government if it is not doing as you would have it dog it bears enough criticism without that of its own people. Do not blame anyone for blundersg no one is infallible. Above all, do not speak slightingly of the Country or the Flag. They are your Country and your Flag, your first duty is toward them.

THE FACULTY 25 Science.- In all things mindful not of herself, but bearing of the burdens of others, How sweet and fair she seems to be, I have marked a thousand blushing apparitions to start into her face.

VAL 411,06 Her hair Is like the summer tresses of the trees, When twilight makes them red, Ne'er shall the sun arise on such another! Gentle of speech, but absolute of rule. French. German.- Wearing all that weight of learning lightly like a flower. -Jw Mathematics. Come back in the evening, , Come back in the morning, Come back when you're looked for, Or come without warning.
