SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Sir Winston Churchill is the exemplar of involvement and commit- ment on a world-wide scale. He was involved in the fate of nations because of his tenacious character and concern for righteousness. He was aware of the impending First World War long before the rest of the world opened its eyes. After the disaster at Gallipoli during World War I, for which he was held responsible, he was robbed of his political position. Not content to watch the war passively, he went to the front to fight in any capacity assigned him. At the outbreak of the Second World War, an anxious England turned to Churchill for leadership. His obstinacy and determination instilled optimism into the hearts of the people. Amidst confusion, horror and despair, he stood as a paragon of that moral courage that is scarce. At a time when England stood alone against Hitler's blitz, his compatriots would see their indomitable Prime Minister walking among the ruins of their beloved country, encour- aging, offering consolation, even joking, always with his hand thrust over his head courageously in his famous V for Victory. Yet despite his pugnacious character, he loved beauty. His leisure time was spent at an easel and he turned out many paintings dis- playing exceptional talent. He had an infectious zest for life. He thanked the High God for the gift of existence! His commanding personality and undaunted spirit overshadowed most other great personalities of his day. Indeed he left an in- delible mark on the twentieth century. Our ideals and goals and those of Sir Winston Churchill coincide in many areas; our commitments are very similar although our involvements are not. We must not stand on the periphery of life passively, but must relish it as Churchill did and be concerned with the welfare of our fellowman as he was. We must be buoyant as he was when we meet defeat, humble in serving God and country in any capacity. We should detest evil that can malignantly grow if left unguarded. The Class of 1966 will do well to grasp and apply the outstanding qualities ex- emplified by Sir Winston Churchill. Lynda Burke '66 I
