FAITH Since our young minds began to distinguish between right and v rong. wo have put the utmost faith in those wo loved, V hon taking our first steps, wo knew that our parents would not lot us fall. Prom that time they have taken care of us through sickness and health, giving all their attcntioiSL to make us the non and • ' . ' onen of the next generation, have taken these things for faith, slwogr.s knowing that our parents would not desert us. That faith has grown and expanded from the small family circle, to which v;o were confined during our early years, to those wo come in contact with every day, to our friends, and to the loaders of our state and nation, V c have faith in the teachers who have guided us through the twelve most important years of our lives. Their patience and under- standing have bridged many a. gap that night have led to destruction. Now as wo prepare to have the shelter of their guiding and protection leave us, we have faith that they have set us on the right road t o happ ino s s and success, Ac the ominous war clouds role up around us from Asiatic and European countries, we shudder to think of the inhumanity of it all. We can easily visualize the men and boys, who gave up tho comforts of homo and tho prosperity of a froc country In tho faith that all non should be brothers and that the world should bo made safe for democracy. In no time of war or peace has there been such a need of faith. We must have faith in our loaders who havo boon chosen to gniide us through this struggle v hich may oxtorminato man from tho earth. Above all we must have faith in God. His liand controls our every action, and without God wo are as nothing Fenton Carruth

OUR FUTURE After the close of this school year, thousands of higii school graduates will go out into the world to face an unprecedented future. It will be either the most prosperous or the darkest possible outlook. The prime factor v hich v ill deterraine their future is the present European conflict, which is killing youths and sending millions of dollars of property to destruction. The second determining factor- will be the status of the United States, whether she remains neutral or changes to a belligerent. The third determining factor will be the longih of the wo.i , should the United States enter. If the UnitoG States remains neutral, which experts declare a remote possibility, the future will be very bri t. The plans to in- crease our armaments plus the business of foreign nations will bring about increased employment. Thus the chances for work for graduates are much greater. If we should scrap our neutral standing for the belligerent rat- ing, wo can only anticipate the worst. Modern warfare with its un- limited horrors will kill many more men in a considerably shorter time than the first V orld V ar. Our entrance into the war would not affect the graduates at first but if conditions v arrant the need of more men, the age limit might drop to eighteen. A prolongation of the war would make the youths available at twenty-one. Although wo would have a transitory period of economic prosperity the war would have inevitable and serious repercussions on the econo- mic conditions as did the first great war. V e would also have the overhanging threat of a serious interna- tional epidemic of contagious diseases. These obstacles face the graduates and cannot be overcome by the individual himself. Time alone discloses their future. Charles R. Puliafico
