-ZA'-YB EDITORIAL URING these days fraught with such tremendous influence upon the world's future, we have been happy, care-free, and X gg, and hopeful as we have gone through our high school days. The war called us from our local interests to the affairs that deeply concern every nation. History, geography, and politi- cal issues assumed a new interest and importance. The effect of science and invention upon the development of instruments of most horrible destruction and the means of greatest service to humanity have given deep human meaning to subjects before thought of as merely the contents of text books. Thus our school work has been more vital, more full of meaning than that of the classes that have preceded ours. We go out into a world full of questioning and doubt. Instead of the era of good feeling, the co-oper- ation, the joy of working to bring about harmony, distrust, crime, suspi- cion, are everywhere more evident than ever before. While we feel that we do not understand all the forces at work to foster these evils, we realize that with the millions of graduates this year we must be willing to look earnestly into these conditions and study them. Many of us will go on to colleges and universities and we shall be able to learn more of the principles at work. Others of our number will go out into the world of business where they may become identified with those who seek so earnestly to bring about the right relations. We are optimisticg we believe better days are coming. We are confi- dent that the forces of good are stronger than those of evil. We shall trust and try to see the best in others. Each individual who stands against the talk of the demogogue and opposes the publications which mis- inform and impose upon the ignorant helps to better society. With a sincere love of country and loyalty to our community, we shall make every effort to stop the current of unrest and discontent by the ap- preciation and practice of the virtues of respect for work, honesty, and the rights of others, which made the pioneers of Indiana so splendid an ex- ample. -Mary Ellen Rosser F lyS t l
