EDITORIALS The Editor Views The Present Day Crisis In these troubled times the greatest defense for our country is not in a large standing Army and Navy but in national unity. Foreign powers seek- ing to ruin our country do not invest chiefly in sabotage but in disrupting propaganda and anti-American talk to corrupt our morals and spirit. It is up to us as future citizens to do all we can to combat these evil forces if national unity is to be prevalent, not only in our large cities and towns, but in small villages or country hamlets where real Americans live, breathe, and think. Donald Macdonald, Editor-in-Chief Isn ' t It Great To Be An American One evening this Fall the Freshman Initiation Hallowe’en Party was held at our school. 1 was just on the steps, about to enter the building, when 1 saw something that made me stand motionless. I first saw a red light, high in the dark sky. Then I heard the sound of a motor and I realized it was an airplane. This made me stop to think of something that I just t ook for granted before. The lights in the school weren’t put out. The lights in the surrounding houses were not put out. I, together with other people, didn’t run for shelter when the plane was seen. Everyone just continued with whatever he was do- ing and paid no attention whatsoever to the airplane — except myself. I thought of the people in Europe; how they dread the sight or sound of an airplane. They realize over there” what it means — it means destruction and death of many men, women and children. When a plane is sighted at night the people are left in complete darkness; as they call it, they have a blackout”. We read this in newspapers and hear things on the radio — yes, but I have read the writing of a young English girl with whom I correspond — writing which has told me more of the horrors of war than any radio or new s- paper would ever tell. We in America know there is a war going on in Europe and that America is not at war — yet; but that is about all. We do not realize how fortunate we are — how fortunate to live our lives in peace. We have no blackouts, no bombs dropped on the roofs of houses. We have none of the horrors of war. We’ve got no Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin, but in their places, we have The Statue of Liberty, The Fourth of July, and Election Day. This is a coun- try where the torch of liberty shines and where the symbol of freedom shall lorever stand.” Isn’t it great to be an American! Carolyn Quattromini, ’42 Page Nine
