Fallsburgh Central Schools LEON J. WEISS, Superintendent SO. FALLSBURG, N. Y. THE GAY TWENTIES As one who survived the hectic, uninhibited, raucous days of the 1920's, I can look back now and see them for what they were. A great war, with its tremendous tragedies of death and destruction had just been concluded. The United States had just come of age and realized it had big muscles, great strength and burst its many youthful inhibitions. It was a time of wishing to grow up in a hurry. Confusion was prevalent, and the gaiety and frivolity were a camouflage of an adolescent nation trying desperately to become adult in a hurry. The fateful Fifties, in which we now live, have a lesson to learn from the twittering, tawdry Twenties We have grown up since: a terrible depression and an almost cata- strophic second World War have sobered us. We are of age, 'and we have accepted world leadership in technology, trade, education and health. We enjoy hitherto unheard of material advantages. We must match this leadership in such fields with leadership in good govern- ment, good social relations and good world understanding. If the Twenties are to teach the Fifties, we must learn that we can be neither frivolous nor carefree, nor selfish, nor isolationist. Our great nation has a role to play in this world, and it must be performed with dignity and understanding Then our Founding Fathers will have their infant Democracy accepted universally as a way of life and a great world wide era of peace will descend on this troubled earth.
