Today, in the Atomic Age, perhaps more than any other time, we need to know the teaching of other countries and most of all to have more World- Wide Friendshipf' This is a time of world strife, Today we need more teach- ers and better trained citizens to help combat this very serious world crisis, We are at a very serious point in the making or breaking of this great country of ours, Basketball players are being picked up for throwing basketball games, This past summer 90 boys were dismissed from West Point on cribbing, There are the senate crime investigations getting themselves acquited of various charges Our relationship with many foreign countries has been broken off because of various changes in government and different ideas Today in the United Nations it is almost impossible to agree upon anything If we are going to start a new era we are going to have to have better world wide friendship In order to do this we are going to have to start an era of good feeling There is no better place to start this than in our own community We must get and have a good relationship in our own homes between parent and child between employer and employee between teacher and pupil between government and the people and finally between nations Only in this way are we going to be able to create better world wide friendship We must have respect and consideration for our fellow country men Through world wide friendship we will have better trained citizens By M F' M There can b no friendship without confidence Rambler Q ' SS ll C4 Q 5 X., F- ,...... , ff I I I I I n an e - - - - .uv --1 -N, Sv - .
