M 11.99-!K,?v,.1 5,1 3, - , 5 Q, , If nr rihcipalif essoge As Americans, born in freedom and lifting in freedom, we cannot conceive any other state of life-certainly not for us. As our ances- tors had suffered and endured hardships to gitfe us this heritage, so we would newer surrender it without a struggle, no matter how chal- lenging and bitter it might be. VVe are, therefore, very naturally and Very properly perturbed when we see the two remaining outposts of deuzocracy located on the European continent challenged and shaleen to their foundations. llnder ordinary circumstances graduation from high school would be an occasion for jnbilation among parents and elzildren. l'nder the present circuinstances the ominous threats which hang o-z'er the heads of all democracies and the ever widening war clouds must hai2'e a sobering effect upon all thinlciug people and especially youth, since youth bears the brunt of all wars. ll'e can only hope that the disaster which is de'z'astating tlze lfuropeau countries and sapping the energies of their people will not reach our shores and that we will not be called upon to rush once more to the blood-soaked battlefields of Europe to defend freedom's cause. The best way to realise that hope, however, is to be so united in our ideals of Amricanism, as expressed in the Preamble to the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights, that no foe of either democ- racy in general or America in particular would dare to launch and attack upon us. This is the clzallenge to American youth as it emerges from school and college-newer to lose the vision of their fathers of a peaceful, united, and free America. GVSTAVE A. FEINGULU 9
