EDITORIALS THE BUILDING COMMITTEE Mr. Moses C. Waterhouse, Chairman Dr. George W. Dainty Mr. William O. Eldridge Mr. John L. Gibbs Mr. James F. Peebles, Secretary We are happy to take this opportunity to say a few words in praise of the members of the Building Committee. After our high school was partially destroyed by fire on June 8, 1934, a Building Committee composed of the above members was appointed to take up the task of rebuilding the old structure and of adding to it. This new addition, including the gymnatorium, makes our school one of the finest in this section of the State. The result which represents hours, days, and even months of hard work by the Committee, without remuneration, is a source of pride to all our high school students. PEACE “Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.” One of the most beautiful words in any language is peace. It has a connotation of happiness, prosperity, and brother- hood among men and nations. The chief avenue of peace is, of course, arbitration. While intelligent men occupy positions of prominence and import- ance in our governments, we have little to fear; but when we allow unscrupulous dictators to seize the power, anything can happen. For centuries a strong armed force has been considered the best assurance of peace. Vegetius’ “Que desiderat pacem praeparet bellum” was almost literally echoed by George Washington when he said “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” I doubt not the wisdom and sagacity of these gentlemen, but I do doubt that such a policy is practicable in the twentieth century.
