Miss Margaret K. Dunphy University of Wisconsin, Columbia i l I-low can you torget The stirring story of the birth ot This country in which we live? Perhaps you carried a chip on your shoulder when you tound that American History is required tor grad- uation, but that chip soon melted when you dis- covered how many men and women talked, wrote, sweated, Tought, and died that you might be able to enjoy The blessings ot liberty, which include a tree education. Perhaps you remember Thinking that The only good Thing about The current events paper was The ioke page, but before you finished your study ot current history, you discovered that a knowledge ot what is going on about you To- day is essential To you in order that you wisely use your priceless heritage, The right to vote, in The best way possible.
