On December 17, 1903, in Kitty hawk, North Carolina, two brothers changed the course of the world. They flew a craft which, carrying a man, raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, sailed forward withour reduction of speed, and finally landed 852 feet from its starting point. Unmistakably, this was not the result of normal, everyday thinking. It took revolutionary ideas from two original men to bring about this event. By their will to be different, by their courage to face the mockery and sarcasm that is present when all new and unusual ideas are tried, the Wright Brothers initiated the realization of man ' s oldest and fondest dream: To Fly. E« wl We have seen in the young Americans of today, thinking that is just as awe-inspiring, just as original, and just as courageous. When we were younger, so much younger than today, we witnessed the campus riots over Vietnam. We heard people belittle those who participated in the demon- strations and the ideals for which they stood. But it was original thinking by concerned, outstanding Americans which helped to dig out the real facts and expose them to the more passive citizens. Without the unprecedented actions of these concerned Americans, the Vietman War might still be going on, an unpublished, unspeakable, inhumane entanglement that would have assuredly tightened its noose around the American economy and the American people. The war is over now; the protests and riots have faded into the vast history of America. But what about tomorrow? Who shall speak out about injustices and bring those hidden wrongs into the public arena? Who will be the ever-vigilant upholders of the ideals and dreams upon which this country was founded? It is we. We are the future leaders of this country; the future designers and builders of machines like the Wrights Most important, we are the future advocates of mankind. We are the hope of tomorrow. Together we will build an America which no generation of Americans has experienced before. We will attempt a new kind of flight, a flight that will send the mockers and belittlers into a rude realization: the realization that this generation, unlike previous ones, will fly to the sun. But we are not like Icarus, whose wings were made of wax. Our wings are made of determination: the determination to build a new community among all people, a new sense of care and responsibility for this ravaged earth of ours. These wings will not melt, they will grow ever stronger, and will fly all people of all nations toward a New Day. Warren Marble 2
