JJJTflJJJJJJfi ' fJflU Internationalism. Is this a theme too am- bitious for a high school annual? Can it be that we are getting into politics and post- war plans? No one today can avoid politics and post- war planning; but the phase of internation- alism which we want to emphasize in our theme is cooperation between nations and the individuals of nations. Each must under- stand the customs and ideals of the other; each must respect and uphold the ideals of all. Although internationalism has come into new prominence recently, it has actually been with us for many years. Commerce es- tablished a series of customs known as In- ternational Law. In 1884 an International Date Line was agreed upon. The Interna- tional Marine Code has been adopted by all leading nations of the world. Gold has been accepted as the International Money Stand- ard. As World War II passes into history, na- tions will be drawn closer together than ever before. Transportation facilities will be en- larged, communication will be extended and improved. Mutual understanding of the peo- ples of the world will be greatly increased through their contacts during the war. It is because we realize the growing im- portance of internationalism to each one of us, that we use it as the theme of our Follies of 1944. As symbols to represent internationalism throughout the book, we shall use The Great Seal of the United States and the Statue of Liberty. But why? As The Great Seal is to the Unit- ed States, so some emblem should be to the whole world. The olive branch and the arrows grasped in the eagle ' s claws represent the hope for peace and the power for war if necessary. These powers are vested in Congress, which is typified by the eagle itself. Throughout all the nations of the world, will there not be some organization to control the powers of peace and war? The constellation denotes the thirteen or- iginal states of the union. So also should the nations of the world be represented in an international emblem. The motto E pluribus unum, meaning one from many, refers to one union of many states. Why not one world of many nations? The Statue of Liberty was given to the United States by France to symbolize the historic friendship between the two repub- lics and to typify the ideals of freedom and brotherhood. Mariners of the world are fa- maliar with the lighted torch and the uplift- ed hand of the statue. Thus it is truly Liber- ty Enlightening the World. Just as internationalism emphasizes the ideal of greater harmony and cooperation among the nations of the world, so we hope that this book will help to unify the student body of Auburn High School as a group of young Americans and as individual citizens of the world.
