 Hey big boy, you're not so bad yourself! Me and Bette Lou always go and have a cola after school. Is that school work you're talking about girls? 4 Candids A bit of chit chat.

Some other fields of interest and self-enrichment are painting, design, hand crafts, recreational activities. These will help develop the whole person--adding zest and variety to his concerns and interests. And now that we have said all this about lofty goals in youth, about turning our steps toward the high roads in life rather than the low, the thoughtful person may raise some serious questions. What about the corruption we may see in high of- fice?', he may ask, and blatant dishonesty among public officials? These are justifiable questions. These are problems about which citizens of all ages should be concerned. There is so much negativism in our thinking these days it is difficult to maintain a positive attitude much of the time. But a positive forward look is the only attitude that will build a better future for America and the world. In spite of depressing news, there is much to give us hope and renew our faith in our country and in people. Let us con- sider some of the inspiring achievements of recent years and months. The first that comes to mind is undoubtedly the Skylab and the attendant results of this amazing feat. These men lived eighty-four days in space, travelled thirty-five hundred million miles, and came down on target, bringing with them enough information to keep scientists busy for years. They proved that men can live in space indefinitely. Among benefits derived from their photographs will be the making of more accurate maps and an improved understanding of agriculture and its problems. Their study of the sun will advance man's knowledge of energy and its sources. In the field of international relations, spectacular work has been done by our brilliant Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissenger. Anti-pollution measures have been adopted in recent years, programs that are halting the destruction of our planet before it is too late. These are only a few of our achievements that give us hope for the future. But there is much more to be done. These are only the beginnings. Endangered species are to be saved—humanitarian measures promoted—diseases to be conquered. The list is endless. And only our generation can carry on when the older generations are gone. To us they are saying as they have always said: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. John McCrae The time is now. Let us think only of spending this day well, and when tomorrow shall have come, it too will be called today, and then we will think about it. — St. Francis de Sales
