VALEDICTORY The Challenge to Youth hen we look about us and take note of the various problens the world presents, we sometimes wonder whether man is not the victim of circumstance. Let us remember in this connection the words of the poet, I am the captain of my soul, I am the master of my fate.” One of the most serious problems with which mankind has had to deal from the earliest stages of civilization is war. In Europe during the Dark Ages there was constant warfare averageing four wars a year. But even after a higher state of civilization was reached Europe still saw no end to war. The full realization of the results of war causes us to wonder why was is so popular. But let us not be deceived into thinking that only Europe has been cursed with was for this peace-loving nation of America has already participated in seven wars, causing each generation to go through this terrible trial. The outbreak of the World War caused the world to rea- lize that all former methods of gaining peace had failed. Therefore the League of Nations and other organizations were formed to aid in maintaining world-wide and lasting peace. In spite of these efforts for peace we are again threatend with war. We cannot help but be alarmed by the state of affairs in Europe. Our attention is kept on the civil war in Spain and the desire of Japan, Italy and Ger- many to increase their territories and power, for if these nations should use force to obtain their wish serious con- sequences would result and all the nations of the world might be involved. But these are not the only countries that seem to be interested in war, for the rate of military expenditures in the world today is three times as high as in 1913, the year before the World War broke out. The challenge cones to the youth of the world today— Shall such a war be re-enacted or shall we use that which we have learned by history and experience to combat these evil forces? There is a need for preventing these calami- ties as time and results have shown the futility of war. Let us correspond with the youth of other lands and Love our enemies thus having a nobler view of life. When we have done all these things, when we have re- placed our hatred and jealousy with love, when we have made peace and happiness, not wealth and power, our highest aim and ideal—then They shall beat their swords into plow- shares and their spears into pruning hooks and nation shall not lift sword against nation nor shall they learn war any more. -agues Koppenol Page Twenty Five

jLaSS PROPHECY OF 1937 Scene: An artistic room in an apartment house in Detroit’s east side. A feigned Gypsy roans restlessly as she waits for her appointment with a young woman. A crystal hall lies on a table in the center of the room. Time: About 1950. The caller arrives. Gypsy: (mysteriously) Speak not until bidden, fair lady. Seat yourself yonder and speak your most favored desire. Young Woman: (eagerly) My wish, oh wise one, is very simple. Gypsy: Speak no more, but gaze into the same mir- aculous crystal as was used years ago. I will tell you all. You are Annabelle France, a great artist. You began your career in Nunica, Michigan and later reached Paris with great distinction. From thence to Spain, England, and Italy. And—ah, your wish. It is to know the fate of all your classmates. Continue to gaze into the crystal, and I shall enlighten you. Ah, Lester Ernwall, and on his face he wears a frown, for noe he is an undertaker in Siberia. Lawrence Bruggers has taken up the profession of doctoring and you should see him bring them in. Marian Nichols is the loyal assistant of her idol, the doctor with her able helper, Thelma Cook.
