Ralph Waldo Emerson has said. The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops-no, but the kind of man the country turns out. From a similar point of view, the test of a school is the kind of young man or woman that it turns out. Lindsay Senior High as an American school, is turning out young people of whom it can well be proud, young peo- ple who already are proving again that their school can meet this test, young people, who, as years go by, shall tread the footsteps of other Alumni who ad- vance the Lindsay Tradition. As young Americans, these students of ours deserve commendation, But they are more than young Ameri- cans: they are marchers in the parade of nationalities in the vanguard of the future. They, face oncoming events not only as young Americans, but as citizens of the world. ' They face the slings of fortune girded with knowledge and culture from all over the world. From the Holy Land they've learned the ideal of Peace. From Greece they've learned ol Beauty. From Rome they've learned of Liber- ty in Law. From Pan America they've learned of Brotherhood. From Europe they've learned of Lit- erature, Science, Language, Music and Mathematics. From our own glorious America they've learned of Democracy. Our Seniors, equipped with a wealth of vital thoughts, many of which orig- inated beyond our shores, are prepared to take their rightful places as members of the world community. As young Americans, aware that each country, each person, has a unique contribution to make to world friend- ship and progress, students at Lindsay High are being prepared to appreciate and utilize such contribution. As world citizens they cannot do less. In the Lindsay Tradition, they do not desire to do less. -L. L. BELANGER. Mrs. Moneymaker is seen in the office during a rush between periods.
