THE COLOR GUARD A thoughtful mind,when it sees a nation's Hag, sees not the flag only but the nation itself, said one of our great Americans, and surely in these times of stress, every Tech boy, when he takes part in our color ceremony and salutes the flag, salutes not the flag only but the country for which it stands-his country-giving with his lifted hand a silent pledge to guard and preserve it. The salute to the flags brought in by the Color Guard of seniors opens every as- sembly held at Tech. Begun at the time of -the last World War, it has become one of our best-loved traditions, and proud is the boy chosen to be one of the guard. When he approaches the close of his junior year, he becomes eligible for the posi- tion. If he has proved himself to be an earnest worker and a de-pendable, co-operative citizen of his school community, he may be one of the fifteen candidates chosen by his classmates. He must then stand the test of selection by his teachers, and if he is among the final eight who receive the highest rating from them, his place on the guard is assured. By accepting the honor, he assumes the obligation of being at all times ready to officiate at his post and to maintain the same standard of conduct which earned his election. In short, he must strive to deserve the beautiful gold honor pin given him at the end of his service. To the members of this yearly group who have gone out from Tech, the guarding of the flag, which began for them as a beautiful symbol, has changed to deadly earnest. One is flying a fighter plane, a P-39, in the raids over Europe. Another, from whom a V-mail letter has just come, is helping to stem the Nazi tide in Italy. A third in the South Pacific is driving the ,Taps back to Tokio. A fourth is navigat- ing a Liberator bomber, another is working in the SeaBees -The Construction Battalion-the tale is endless. But wherever they are, we can be sure-sure they are showing that their position at Tech was no empty, unmeaning honor. They are proving themselves a true Color Guard. DANIICI. F. .IAFOBS WILLIAM G.
