4 SAMARA destroy those with whom they compromise and agree. Therefore now is the time for us to pull our heads out of the sand, and mobilise our forces, remembering that weakness on our part invites attack by Communist power. It is our duty to those men who bought so dearly our four freedoms, with their very lives, to be ever prepared and ever vigilant. It has been said that our democratic world must know its enemy. But what is more important, we must know ourselves; and what is yet more important, we must realize that our freedom and strength are one, for without freedom we cannot have strength and without strength we can never hope to preserve freedom. We have said that we cherish our freedom so greatly that we would give our lives to preserve it. But the question What is life without freedom? takes on a new meaning when there is a future prospect of no life at all. How then do we feel about defending a free society if to defend freedom is to risk all life? This is a question which we of the new generation must carry in our minds, searching deeply in our hearts for the right answer. Let us never be war-mongers, but let us also not be blind fools, coasting along blithely in a dream world which we have built around ourselves, only to awaken with a start to find, too late, that all our illusions are fast crumbhng. But above all, let us pray God for some deliverance out of the most troubled time the world has yet known. Our earth has survived two devastating world wars. It is up to us to see that she is not plunged into the deadly chasm of another. A LTHOUGH Nightingale did not excel in stars last year, we hope to regain our - former standard once more, for we were second at Christmas and are working very hard. We were sorry that there were no House Plays this winter but we come second in the House Collections for which everyone in Nightingale worked very dili- gently. We were happy to welcome to the house this year Miss Tyrrell, Miss Hudson, Miss Shand, Mrs. Grierson, and also a number of new girls. To those who are leaving Elmwood this June we say goodbye and wish them the best of luck in all they do.
