Classen High School - Orbit Yearbook (Oklahoma City, OK)

ii Student Council Fiery debates and hot discussions feature the Wednesday afternoon meetings of the Student Council. This group is representative of Classen opinion because its members are elected by the stu- dent body and bring in new ideas directly from the advisory groups. Its purpose is to pass rulings for the betterment of student welfare and to decide matters of school policy in so far as its 1,837 population is concerned. This compares in size with a town like Britton, so the governing job is not a small one. Miss Clara Mejfer is sponsor, and Principal Baker is a frequent visitor. 1' Tov PICTURE: FIRST ROW: Theresa Enders, Betty Callahan, Mr, Ira W.

political Freedom . . . The young American of today is concerned not only with the question of who shall be the victor in the present world conflict, but also the kind of country and world we shall have when that conflict is ended. We have an abiding faith that our cause is just, and in our own great strength to maintain that cause. But we need to look beyond this crisis. We need to enumerate the things we want, and rededicate ourselves to their preservation or attainment. Primarily we want Liberty-that is what we are fighting to keep. We want political freedom, which means a free government, representative of the common people-you and I-administered by our representatives. ' But our right to representative government-every right we enjoy-carries with it a corresponding responsibility. If we shirk a responsibility for long, we lose the privilege to which it entitles us. And we cannot expect true representa- tion in government unless we intelligently inform ourselves, and then make our constructive wishes known to our repre- sentatives by insistent public demand. We can work out our own answer to this question of the future. In avoiding enslavement by a foreign tyrant we can become strong enough to maintain our own political free- dom. We can practice individual self-reliance. We can in- terest ourselves in the real needs of the community, the state, and the nation, and then do our part to meet those needs. We can retire from public office any official who shows himself unresponsive to our wishes. And we can remember that the price of liberty, which embraces all freedoms, is eternal vigilance. QQ LEON C. PHILLIPS Governor of the State of Oklahoma.
