ROSBY U9 ARBOR DAY ORATION What does the dedication of this tree mean to us? Is it merely the plant- ing of a tree, or is there a deeper meaning? The original purpose of Arbor Day was to replenish our forests and to make the people aware of the tragic consequence of wasting our natural re- sources. Today, forest preservation has developed into a specialized field, but there still remains a big responsibility on the part of the individual to see that he does his part in protecting our woodlands. As we stand here and see around us the grove of trees stretching into great wooded areas beyond, we witness the solemn strength of manifest har- mony. If only the people of the nations of the world would stand united against the elements that prey on mankind in the same manner that these trees stand to protect each other from the elements of nature, surely this world would be as peaceful as our forests. Imagine for a moment what this countryside would look like if it were stripped of its trees, then perhaps you would be able to sense what would happen if we were stripped of our ideals and freedoms. It would mean the end of life and the beginning of servitude, it would mean living like the low- est form of animal subject to an evil master. This ideology, this subjugator disguised as a liberator, must be, can be, and will be destroyed, for this is Communism. As we stand on the brink of going forth into the world, we seem to realize only now how fortunate we were to have been given the education and guidance which is so necessary, and some of us, unfortunately, now real- ize how we have wasted many of the years of our schooling, for you and only you will ever know if you have worked hard enough to be able to say, I have honestly tried. But now you have a second chance, for you are entering the second and most important phase of your education, so let us give it our best effort, for we are the ones who are to shape the world for many years to come, we are the ones whose responsibility it is to put an end to the constant fear of Com- munism. It is in the name of this class of 1955 that I plant this tree, with hopes that sometime in the future we may each and every one of us realize our dreams in a world of peace and prosperity. -john Slaltery lue A lnil'e
