THE EDITOR SPEAKS As the bells rang out, loudly and clearly on Christmas morning of 1954, there was a special gladness in the hearts of Americans; for it was the first Christmas in 15 years that there was not open combat somewhere in the world. How many more Christmases will we be able to say this? Our destiny is up to man. In him lies our expectations for a greater world to be, and the possibility of universal peace. It has been said that wars begin in the minds of men, and so it is in the minds of men that the seeds of peace must be planted. And who is going to plant these seeds? Our generation—you and I— hold man's destiny in our hands. The sole objective today is attaining world peace. Whether we live a life of hap- piness, and opportunity, enjoy the normal activities of marriage, family love, and service; or whether we live in constant fear—finally being blasted from humanity to eternity, unconscious of this obliteration of civilization—depends entirely upon peace. But we do not want a peace that guarantees only the absence of war—we want peace of the spirit, mind, and body, assuring man's soul of the harmony and brotherhood throughout the world. As we see the beautiful steeple of a church rising into God's beautiful sky, the families entering the house of worship together, the wonders of nature round about us, the sound of laughter from a group of children, it seems as though there could never be anything else but peace in this wonderful land of ours. As yet, it is still a dream— but dreams are vivid, and courage is steadfast. Quoting from a journalist, and this should be remembered above all— This living generation should hold its head high, and build its civilization with the thought that the human creator is of much more importance than the thing created, that material workmanship can be created by posterity, but God alone can create the worker. So, as we take leave of our alma mater, may we too realize that In ourselves our future lies.” Gretchen Louise Taggart
