When an opening is re- ported to Mr. Bennett, contact must usually be made immediately. If he has the name and address of your temporary employer or the other data men- tioned above, the contact may be made. Fill out and tear off the perforated post-card below, affix a one- cent stamp on the opposite side and mail it as soon as any change after graduation occurs. Underline either 'ftemporarilyn or steadily, Keep in touch with your principal and your school. cifiviifiie STUDENT ASSOCIATION OFFICERS FA LL TERM Reading' left to right: Ralph Dentinger, treasurerg Joseph Erbland, seeretaryg Robert Smith, vice-presidentg James Laniok, president. SPRING TERM Seated: Robert Smith, presidentg Ralph Dentingger, secretary: Standing: Francis Keeley, vice president: Donald Aman, treasurer. All nominations for ofiicers of the Students' Association are made by the duly elected representatives of the student body on the Council. This would correspond to empowering Congress to nominate opposing candidates for the presidency. The party in power might choose a weak candidate to run for opposition, or someone like Charlie McCarthy. But the Council is what the Congress is not-non-partisan. Thus strong candidates, whatever the party, are ours to elect,-efficiency, character, and leadership guaranteed. Page Thirtgpfive INCANDESCENT STAFF The Incandescent Staff has had a lot of fun probing for missing names, information, money, ink, paper, cuts, Write-ups, etc., in remote corners of the building. They have built up a permanent resistance to stairways, which they have learned to slide up as Well as down. As for elevators, they are only an evil of the Machine Age. Our thanks to Mr. McIntosh, Mr. Skinner, Mr Sprague, Mr. Lohmaier and Mr. Warren, the Graphic Arts quintet, who are the real heroes of this production. If there are any villains, see the picture above. ' Editor-in-chief ..,.. Feature Editor Literary Editor Sports Editor ....,. . Photograph Editor . Panel Editor ...,.,.. . Art Editor ,....,.,.....

This type of nose is characteristic of the Edi-Tech staff. They also have an under- ground secret grapevine service quite as efficient as Hitler's Gestapo. They come up with choice morsels about the students and faculty. They bestow a word of praise, now and then, and put much solid meat in their columns. The Edi-Tech is the only school paper in the city produced entirely by pupils. The average issue of the paper represents the cooperative efforts of the Commercial Art, Printing, Lithography, and Photography departments. This year the staff gave out one free issue, a special broadside of publicity for the Indoor Circus, but no free tickets. Page Thirty-seven STUDENT COURT Joseph Herrgesell, Secretaryg Francis Primer, Judgeg Bruce Till, Melvin Vandenbergh, Attorneys. The most dignified courts have given rise to jokes about judges, sent- ences, fines, defendants, lawyers, etc. The unusual thing about our Student Court is that no air of play has ever infected either the body or those who appear before it. Students who find it easy to put across an alibi with a teacher don't ever try it on the Court. This body is one of the most efficient of our democratic form of school government. Few students realize the strenuous study and competitive examinations necessary to selection for the Court and the still more rigorous qualifications necessary to become Judge. Mr. Springer must be commended for the Manual of Court Proced- ure which he, as advisor, has compiled.

Here is a legislative body that does not keep its eye on the clock or the calendar, and by which the filibuster is outlawed. Their gallery is only Mr. Wilder who has never been known to heckle the legislators. They believe in the maxim, That government is best which governs least, and the statutes they pass need few amendments and no repeal. Their routine duties of nominating student officers, collecting and expending school funds, controlling service organizations, and supporting new activities, are cap- ably discharged. Lobbyists have made no headway, although Joe Herrgesell has been seen around the halls much of late.

The purpose is not to prevent a revolution, but to have all points of View fairly represented on this advisory body. It acts as a committee to consider new ideas, to formulate them and present them to the Council for action. In this way it regulates the flow of material to the legislative mill.

It is no pastime to be respons- ible for the life and limb of your fellow student. A real hazard is the three- way intersection at the southeast corner of the building, even for ordinary traffic. When hundreds of bicycles and hundreds of students migrate across this area after school, dangers multiply. Many times the grinding of brakes and the crunching of metal have been heard on this corner, but to date not a bike or a student has been touched. We owe the Traffic Squad a vote of thanks, some new oilskins for rainy days, a supply of police whistles, and one fog horn. - Page Forty-one EDISON SERVICE CORPS I l First row: John Squilla, Ray Kelly, Bill Unbehaun, Franklin Becker, Orazio St. George, Ronald Sigl, John Kramer, Henry Lapinski, Ernest Bilinskig Second row: John Knoble, Robert Placious, James Logar, Archie Brown, Frank Reitze, Henry Borowski, William Diehl, Mr. Wilder, adviser: Richard Smith, Third row: Charles Rosenbauer, John Suski, Hellmuth Junge, John Moriarty, Clarence Kudrewicz, Ray Kulis, Willard Dett- man, Jack Fishbaughg Fourth row: Don Schaubert, Constantine Ragne, Ellison Siegel, Sam Rizzo, Francis Keeley, Stanley Ciecierski, Charles King, Don Bartholomayg Fifth row: Edwin Pelkey, Paul Radtke, James Bielman, Jay Lauterborn, Leonard Trotta, Norman Pero, Leon Best, Ed Oechsle The Edison Service Corps, more than any other influence in the school, makes us act our age. Its members maintain order in the halls and their word is final. But law-enforcement is only one of their duties. They cooperate in running efficiently our Candy Counter and Ice Cream Coun- ter and thus save many lives yearly. They act also as a courteous and intelligent corps of guides to visitors. They put precision into our parades and help maintain the reputation of the student body as loyal but square- shooting rooters at interscholastic games. Finally, when things are to be done and not played with, the Service Corps carries on. Page Forty-two GLEE CLUB Alarie, J. LaPeluso, N. Trotta, L. Erbland, J. Melville, E. Bonacci, P. Leni, J.

Both can handle popular music equally well. It is diflicult to say which organ- ization can make the birdies sing most effectively. Now, with the advent of the Public Address System which often blares around the halls, the band has become jealous of its volume and threatens to blow out something-and we don't mean a gasket.

The National Honor Society is on speaking terms with life through its great ideals of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. We do not say that its members practice what they preach, for they do not preach. They act, and their actions are those of true members of the National Hon- or Society. Behind the scenes is Mr. Manning. Many thanks are due this group and its advisor for their outstanding assembly programs. Page Forty-fwe -SWAP CLUB Seated: Jerry Kress, Eric Skidmore, Archie Browng Standing: Bernard Mensing, Alvon Chambers, Robert Placious. Organizer and Adviser: Mr. Costich The Swap Club has successfully weathered its first scandal-the comic magazine episode. The club is doing a special service in the promotion of hobbies, a field which may some day be a major industry. If so, here are some experts with real experience. About one student in three has made use of the club's services-for what can't be swapped can be sold. The hobby of the staff is an old victrola not seen in the picture, which is used for re- search on old records. The current favorite is a 1919 swingaroo.

One of the boys intercepted a message from a sunken submarine, an order for a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Some of the members are serious- ly trying to qualify for jobs at Stromberg Carlson when they graduate. Skate Club Manager: William Smith This club wants its members to be ice-minded in the right place. Roch- ester rinks have no rest during the open season. Through the cooperation of the sheet metal and machine shops seventy pairs of skates per day can be rushed back into service, after sharpening, riveting, and other repairs have been made. Sharpening, five cents, riveting etc., at cost. Student Loan Service Officers: Administered by officers of the Students' Association The Student Loan Service has completed a year of service, proving that it was no flash-in-the-pan. The service and regulations of the club need no publicity. The percentage of dead beats is lower in Edison than in any other place in the United States. Aviation Club President, Albert Ellicott, Vice-president, Ralph Dentingerg Faculty Adviser, Mr. Thiele. Albert Ellicott is air-minded enough to work at the airport to win his wings. Speakers, movies, model building, a study of the theory of flight, meteorology, and navigation make up an attractive program. Bicycle Club President, William Smith, Vice-president, Edward Kubiak Edison Technical and Industrial High School students gather from all points of the compass. The bicycle is the secret of their mobility. The club offers quick and complete service, supplying everything but a new bicycle. In case of war, here is a potential fleet of 400 mine-sweepers. Just attach some pontoons and they'll swarm all over the Atlantic. Camera Club President, Eugene Kotlowskig Vice-president, Clarence Kudrewiczg Secretary, John Valeska: Faculty Adviser, Mr. Skinner.

The pencils were sharpened, and pens filled with ink And the students, now writing, now stopping to think, Were indeed very busy with final exams Writing out all the knowledge obtained during crams. There were N eu and Domalski and Dettman and Wallace Who confessed they were hot as an old-fashioned furnace. And near them sat Climer, Jim Laniok, and Herrgesell Who was moving about like a billow-tossed vessel 5 And even our cool, easy-going Bill Uebelacker Was thinking so hard that his brow had to pucker, When out of the silence came a roar loud and deep- We all knew De Bruyn had just fallen asleep.

With their glances cast long- ingly over their shoulders at looping spirals they cou1dn't keep their atten- tion on the ball that only rolled. While the team dreamed of the future greatness of Edison's football teams, the opposition sneaked over the win- ning goals. No one was injured and a very enjoyable time was had by all. They got mad once and made the only goal scored against the champion- ship Madison team. But Wait until we play football!

Congratulations on the second interscholastic championship in a row! What a team! They play basketball as though they enjoy it and yet when they turn on the heat they seem in deadly earnest with the accent on deadly, Vince Ingutti set an all-time interscholastic record for individual scoring and Joe Burgholzer was close behind. But the rest of the team did their share of scoring as Well as setting up the plays. Joe Weber was the spark-plug and safety valve with his smart quarterbacking. Now on to the sectionals!

Carl Steinfeldt put horseshoes on the map at Edison and is still number one man in Monroe County. We hope he branches out and takes on a few more counties and states. Our team just fell one-half game short of winning the championship the past season. This might have been the difference loe- tween one ringer which held and one which bounced off-and this might have been caused by writing too long a composition-with stiff fingers as a reward. Shorter compositions, men! BOWLING Kneeling: Henry Adamski, Francis Wahl, Gerald Nien- timp, John Knobelg Stand- ing: Emil Mueller, Ed Stock- slader, Mr. Harry Sprague, Coachg Leon Best, John Ulisano. Sometimes an ace performer makes an ace coach. Mr. Sprague has de- veloped eight championship teams in the past eleven years. The other three years his teams finished second. This ought to be a record among 1'ecn,rds. The past year's team was just another championship outfit.

Joe Weber, our flashy second baseman, played the keystone sack for the Rochester Red Wings in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Cards last summer, batting .500 and fielding his position flawlessly. Walt Yeager also starred and is waiting for an offer from the Red Sox. George Twinkle- t0es Selkirk twlnkled for the Yanks in the World Series. Chuck Dobner, another alumnus, was on his way to fame as a pitcher whom no catcher could hold, when he threw his arm out permanently, trying to break up a squirrel quarrel with a rock. He broke up the quarrel.

S elling hair-tonic to bald eagles Zuber, Fred ,....,.,..... Zwerger, Wilbert ......., Benefits Derived from Whistling by Orazio St. George The origin of whistling probably dates back to the prehistoric days, when one of our ancestral forefathers, now commonly called cave-men, dis- covered that a sharp, piercing and strangely pleasant sound emerged from his throat when his lips were rounded and nearly closed. Chortling in glee, he indulged in this diversion and passed this information to his posterity. Today whistling is used for many different purposes. A father uses a loud continuous whistle to summon his youngster or pet from the street. A youngster, barely out of the adolescent age, in the throes of young romance, uses a short, snappy whistle to attract the opposite sex, the object of his infatuation. As a hobby, some people study and practice whistling and sometimes bring it to such perfection that they are offered jobs as entertainers on some radio program or at some hotel. From then on their hobby is their vocation. Working, laborers whistle 'because whistling puts rhythm into their move- ments, thus making the hours seem shorter, and lessening the monotony of routine work, keeping them in a jovial mood all day. The whistler and his whistle are criticized continuously by cranky, over- wrought individuals, who dislike anything that indicates a joyous nature. They have started a whispering campaign against whistling which threat- ens to ruin the popular prestige of the whistler and the whistle. I would like to start a whistling campaign against whispering campaigns. Personally, I like whistling and whistle wherever I am. I consider myself very fortunate in being able to whistle any popular tune without any praticing or note reading. The time will soon be here when people who can not or do not wish to whistle will be a thing of the past, and whistling will be present in all its glory, promoting joy and happiness everywhere. Page Sixty-eight After Graduation-Wliat? by William Uebelacker Into the world go young men and women, each expecting his destiny to be fulfilled-some, doubtful as to their prospective fields, others fully realizing their ultimate careers for they all believe that they have their places in the world. If we could take any group of individuals and compare their existence now and their existence within a certain number of years, we would be astonished. Their course of life could be traced, a meandering and complicated line, some of their actions are easily discernible as We glance over it. Some of their actions even seem inevitable. Some, desirous of bettering their conditions, try, but meet difficult obstructions and fall back. Realizing their inability to reach their goal, they grow bitter with the world and exist hardly desirous of further attempts to conquer, nor are they willing to exist in harmony with others. Others also fail, but these persistently try and try until either by sheer will-power or opportunity they succeed in changing their pattern of life and enter new forms of work and society as if in a new world. Then, the luckier ones, who step into the mad pace of industry and keep going, rise with each step higher and higher until they are the powerful overlords of the others. Things happen, everything changes. Perhaps a war, an accident, and things have shifted. Spheres of influence disappear and others appear. Men, who have studied and laughed together, die together. In different branches of service, they meet the Nemesis of life. In the air, below the surface of the sea, or on land, the grim reaper reaps. Fellow classmates in a plane, are riddled under the withering crossfire of two enemy intercepters, succumb to death in time to escape the merciless fire which every aviator dreads. Under the sea a group of other classmates labor through in a sub- marine, and contemplate their ultimate destruction through depth-bombs or mines laid by enemy submarines or sub-chasers. On the land, other class- mates fall under the murderous fire of enemy machine guns, or are shatter- ed to bits by enemy shrapnel or hand grenades tossed into their charging mass. Still others manage to survive, some with glory, some free from physical wounds but suffering from mental shock. They all try to reenter their old positions and are unable, for everything is changed. But why go on? Am I trying to predict the unpredictable, or am I merely a fatalist? Fellows, I am trying to point out that life calls for a stout heart. The one thing certain is uncertainty. Free Speech in America by Robert G. Smith If there is to be a United States there must be some method for keeping our unity known and that means is free speech for one and all. Why, you say, must everyone be given the right of free speech? The only way we can protect our democratic form of government is by each person being enabled to say so when he is dissatisfied and to make it known when a piece of legislation is not to his liking. New and better ideas in government, medicine, engineering and public welfare will come only if there is an opportunity for free expression. The best pressure gauge for controlling human emotions is free speech, for by using this privilege the Page Sixty-nme Free Speech in America fcontinuedl radicals can get up and talk themselves silly and let off steam. All our brain-storms and pet peeves can be put before the public where they can be watched, instead of allowing these desires to burn their way out in a storm of violence and leave a permanent scar on what is left of the government. If our forefathers had listened only to those people who favored their government we would still be a colony. Washington, Adams, Patrick Henry and Abraham Lincoln all were men who had ideas which would have been suppressed except for free speech, yet we benefited by listening to them. Our early Continental Congress had some very queer ideas such as states giving up powers to a central government, but we didn't lose by heeding their call for the adoption of new ideas. Here, truly, the Bill of Rights was a far-seeing document and we were the winners because these men could say just what they wanted to. Limit this privilege to those who favor only our democracy, is the cry of some. No, this will not work because we develop a better government only when there are groups continually criticising our administration and thus forcing them to do their best or lose the next election. There is a purpose behind each soap box orator, and though he does his best to put it over he helps strengthen our government by showing us what we might be able to do to prevent such criticism. Have you thought of what it means to have free speech limited? Here in America where we have free speech, we listen to our favorite radio program, go to our own church where the cleric speaks as he pleases, and we can read whatever book we please. In America we can see our country just as it is, rich in some sections and poor in others, not as leaders would have us see it, a virtual paradise. To guarantee the permanency of this paradise we must all do our part in every way we can. Each and every citizen has the right to vote and it is his duty to do so. High school students can do their part by studying our history and by trying to grasp the true meaning of the word democracy. The government is yours if you make it. Don't be afraid to take part in it. Your representative can represent you only when your sentiments are made known. Write to him! If he doesn't respresent the people there is someone else who will! A little studying on our part will prevent the rights of our citizens from being snatched from under their noses. There are no fairy god-mothers to watch out for us and no one has yet seen a politi- cian with wings, so it's your fight and the outcome is up to you. Again, if there is to be a democratic America, We must each give our best to assure free speech to all, regardless of race, creed, color, or political affiliation. Our ancestors died to gain this right and we will live to keep it. PHENOMENON by Edward Kubiak Kulis is acquiring a moustache Beneath his patrician beak, Getting it on the installment plan- A little down each week. Page Seventy Discovery by J oseph H errgesell When man had only developed as far as a savage beast, he of course knew nothing of the mechanical devices and wonders of today. He had nothing, not even fire. Imagine yourself in his position, hiding in fear of the beasts of prey with no light to scare them away or protect himself from them. He sensed the approach of danger, two fiery eyes appeared, a leap and all was over for this poor orphan of nature who had no means to fight back. At night man soon learned to protect himself by sealing his cave against night- prowlers, but he wanted more than that, he lacked light and the comforting warmth of a fire. After centuries of untold suffering because of his ignorance, man learned to use fire. In the night there came a flash of lightning and a crash of thun- der, which sent this creature scurrying to his cave. Hours later what he had seen in the lightning aroused an unyielding instinctive curiosity in him and he peered out. The nearby forest had been transformed into a vivid, red, glowing mass in the distance, and his fear overcome, he walked bravely out to look more closely, but intense heat drove him back. The next morning he again crept close to the smoldering, charred Wood and found it warm and pleasant. He touched a piece, a searing pain racked his hand and slowly he withdrew it. Then by placing his hand on the end opposite, he found he could lift it without the pain. This glowing ember he removed to his dark cave and found that the thing lit the cave and made it appear warmer to his eyes. The pain again forced him to drop the wonderful thing and it soon died on the rocky floor. It was not until many moons had passed that the strange phenomenon again occurred, and the savage with reverent eyes approached the smolder- ing brush that had not so long ago lost its summer colors. He once more lifted a flaming brand, carried it home and placed it tenderly and unknow- ingly among a pile of leaves. To his amazement the brand and its sur- roundings soon flamed into life. With gutteral sounds and grunts he summoned his family to witness this spectacle. They stared in bewilder- ment at the beautiful flames, but to their chagrin the supply of fuel was soon exhausted. By some uncanny instinct the group pushed up closer the surrounding leaves that had not burned and the fire again cracked merrily at their feet. He had learned to build fires. These humble creatures raced out, each carrying in a supply of leaves which they deposited on top of the flame only to blanket out its colorful existence. The rough fellow brushed away the fiame which after some hesitation did appear. With fear in his heart, he again placed surreptitously a small amount of fuel over the flame and thus he learned the bonds that held this live twisting mystery that was so fearful and yet comforting. He learned in his daring experiment how to nourish and control this glorious monster, he soon learned too that Wood was a much better, longer-lasting fuel. Although he had no beautiful fireplace or a furnace, he had in his power one of the greatest gifts bestowed upon mankind. In his stupidity he stum- bled upon the greatest benefaction to humanity, no greater discovery was made for thousands of years by the most learned men and brilliant scholars. Thus developed in the soul of man a reverence for fire and a great fear Page Seventy-one Discovery fcontinuedj of losing it. Not knowing the secret of making fire he had to be content to conserve it. Thus in ancient civilizations such as Rome, the sacred fires were kept burning through the years by the Vestal Virgins. N o wonder that the extinction of these fires, or of those kept burning in the Roman home, was guarded against as a catastrophe. No wonder, too, that we still sit spell- bound before a blazing fire, for the old reverence and awe is a part of us. The epoch-making discovery of how to make fire still waited for thou- sands of years and millions of fumbling experiments. Or more probably men hadn't even guessed that fire could be made. Thus the series of accidental experiments or experimental accidents by which man finally stumbled on a method of creating fire must remain a mystery to us. After all, fire is a mystery. If a Desk Could Speak In y Bruce Till Little do we think of such a lifeless thing as a desk having a history. Yet if it could convey to us the many different experiences through which it has passed, it would be most interesting and an excellent authority on the psychological status of the students who have lingered over a desk from the kindergarten or nursery school through our greatest institutions of learning. It could tell of the little child who treated it with respect for cleanliness and neatness, leaving it with its surface unmarredg then of the careless indifferent type of boy whose invincible loyalty to the object of his affections motivated him to whittle on its face or its edge 5 of the conserva- tive boy who used it as a tablet upon which to solve his equations, or the imposter who used it as means of assistance for a forthcoming examin- ation, of the artist who exhibited his latest talents on its face, and the habitual masticator of the extract of the rubber tree, for which its under surface has served him so faithfully. Then it could relate to us how a stu- dent with his head cupped in his hands used it as a rest while the mind was intent upon what the future might hold in store for him, and how it offered the sobering resistance of reality to the otherwise undisciplined pens of many who have made their way in the social, economic, or political world. So we find that this desk, though so unassuming and passive in character, is a fundamental cog in the magnanimous machine we call education. SCHOOLBOY PHILOSOPHY by Edward Kubialc Grammar is a puzzle- Why try to make sense of it? Math an enigma- Don't bother your brain with it. History's a bother- What use to delve deep in it? If your study seems irksome Cheer up, and to - with it! Page Seventy-two American Neutrality by Henry Aclamslci In the present period of strife, there is one question that confronts every citizen of the United States. This question is, Will America enter the war '? I have heard many comments and much discussion on this subject and they all point to one conclusion. America can stay out of the European crisis if it isolates itself from the world. The country already has, in an effort to separate itself from the Europe- an struggle, put into effect a strict Neutrality Law. This law states that no war supplies whatsoever will be sold to a belligerent nation and also states that no war supplies will be sold to a neutral nation in turn to be sold to a belligerent nation. Although our government is doing its utmost to remain neutral, there are many causes that may draw the United States into the war. There is the problem of sending ships to Europe for the purpose of bringing back our citizens. If by some misfortune one of these ships were sunk, it would stir bitter hatred against the guilty nation and probably force the United States into the war. The United States also has world-wide trade and in order to remain neutral it would probably be necessary for our nation to sacrifice this trade. If our trade with foreign countries continues, there is always a possibility of our ships being sunk. Let us hope that these possible causes will not be eventualities. It is my belief that if a nation is determined to stay neutral it can do so regardless of the cost. Although a few sacrifices might be made, it would be better to make these sacrifices than to send millions of men to their doom. In conclusion let us pray that the flames, ignited in Europe, will not lick American shores and that the United States will remain neutral throughout the duration of this war. . Rivalry for Aerial Trade Routes by William U ebelaclcer , Undoubtedly, during the past few years, the international rivalry for control of aerial trade routes has become feverishly intense. However, this seemingly bitter competition between nations for air supremacy has re- sulted in the development of better commercial air routes and the intro- duction of highly advanced aircraft and aeronautics. Although in most important countries commercial flying is directly sub- sidized by the government under the control of its war-office, the air-lines in the United States are strictly private corporations, competing among themselves and receiving only indirect subsidy. Thus, a private concern like Pan American, competes directly against government-controlled or operat- cd lines of Germany, France, Great Britain, and Italy. As a result of this intense competition many new trade routes have been developed. Pan American has succeeded in opening the Orient through the establishment of a shorter, direct route across the Pacific Ocean. Russian airmen have paved the way for commercial air travel across the Artic to the Page Seventy-three Rivalry for Aerial Trade Routes fcontinuedj United States. British and Dutch lines now reach into the Far East and the French operate as far as Indo-China. Germany and Italy are pioneering along parallel routes between Europe and China. The South Atlantic is dominated by Germany's air route to South America. Pan American and Imperial Airways have developed the Newfoundland-Ireland and Bermuda- Azores routes over the North Atlantic. Thus, ten years after Lindbergh's pioneer flight, commercial air lines completely encircle the globe. During this period of air-route development, many new and different types of highly advanced aircraft have been introduced. While Pan Ameri- can is making use of super air-liners and the Dutch are experimenting with four-engined stratosphere planes, the Germans are catapulting seaplanes across the South Atlantic. - From these accounts and from proven facts is formed the general opinion that American planes are far superior to those of other powers. Therefore, through this development of safe, rapid, transportation, America's once-boasted merchant ship supremacy of the seas may soon be restored-this time by way of the air. PERHAPS . . by Jack Fishbaugh They pass in review These many young men. They're training for service, For fighting again. They're at war once more Far over the sea We'll probably be in it, For Democracy. Their uniforms resplendent, Fitting so well, Will soon be tattered In this new World Hell. Their actions inhuman. Hot is their breath They fight and they kill 'Til they meet their death. Some will come back, Bitter and mangled, More foreign alliances In which we entangled. Let us swear here and now, That we never again Will become involved And slaughter our men. Page Seventy-four EX sgigzig 9 ,A-WWMQQEQT W 5 iggmwiw ,f 2 gf we Miiigggffx 5:2 fgiztwgfwf ii ii mi?
