Freedom of Speech LOiYAiLTY In 1926, in a rather peaceful period, Chaney High School began. Its ideals were based to a great degree upon the enduring standards of the leader after whom the school was named, Dr. N. H. Chaney, whose term in the superintendency of Youngs- town Schools had ended but a short timelkbeforef, 1 , Q Among his ideals, that the leaders of the school have tried to foster, has been that of loyalty, or fighting for a cause. In earlier days, with no traditions to fall back upon, upholding high aims was a difficult matter. Becauses ' of a desire for an easy life, many wanted to do what was right inQ their owniiieyes, However, as the school grew from swaddling clothes to youth, thoseiwhq hadpbeyen in the better schools, and those who knew education at its bestfirnade their infliience felt. So, for years, through the depression.,-Qetiod: when numbers of people were anxious for something to do, and since, the school has won an enviable position. J Loyalty to country, as well as loyalty to school, has been tested. At present about 1500 West Side young people are in the country's service, and are not found wanting. Some have already paid the the supreme sacrifice. We shudder, however, at the apathy of so manybn the home front. It is 'true that the calls for money have been nobly met, but with-little eH'ort. Too many are thinking of their dividends, their wages, their easeiand pleasures, with meager attempt at sacrifice. Whether the desired peace, with its accompaning good will, can be possible, one sometimes questions. If the valor of our lighting men were the criterion used in judging, the answer is Yes , If one can see only the results of commercialism, selfishness and vice, and the apparent growth of an attitude that I'11 work only if I am paid, we may be nearer a dictatorship than we had hoped or desired. A post-war season of happiness and progress-local, nationaljand international --can be built only on loyalties above reproach. What can I da' for you? must b .U sis of an enduring peace. Insofar as those in and out of the school practice s - o, lty will it be possible to say that our educational program is successful, 231' , at- hose who planned its existence worked wisely. - it j' in DR.
