T HAS come at last-to America, to America's children-the alarm that raced from country to country in Europe. A word has been flashed from person to person in our nation. The word is war and it has been presented to the average American mind as a preview of what might come. This word affects vitally our country, our happiness, and our freedom. Our nation is preparing for possible emergencies. We are watching our ram- parts to keep our nation free. We must prepare and continue to prepare. This is important to the future generations of law-abiding citizens who will take their places as lawyers, voters, teachers, soldiers, doctors, workers. They will build and preserve our nation, and will make it invulnerable to attacks from without. This will be a prod- uct of complete preparedness. Students in our high schools at the present time, students right in Commerce now, will be among those in charge of this plan. Americans who love America are proud of their heritage, the heritage, given to us by great and fearless men who sacrificed their lives for the liberty which we are now enjoying, the freedom which we now must be ready to protect with our lives. Down through a century and a half of our nation's life, the battle cry has been The Ramparts We Watch. Somewhere along the line it had been carelessly dropped. Now it has been taken up by the leaders of our government today. Tomorrow, we, shall take it from their tired hands, and hold it high so any would-be-invader or trespasser will see its glow from across the seas and know that America is prepared. All forces will bow to us. America will prove to be second to none, and the future generations, the students yet to come, will carry on. We must show them the way, we must teach them to guard the Ramparts We Watched. By MARY ALLEN
