4 H. C. I. SCROLL IN MEMORY OF HIM QMICHAEL SURTEESJ He was my friend, that gallant English boy: God never made a better friend than he. And 'cause we love the things we most enjoy, God took this boy, my friend, away from me. I do not speak alone of these, my thoughts, For many others shared his friendship, toog And many others feel the same as I About that English boy whom we all knew. I cannot tell you how much I have lostg No words were ever made to do the task. But if you've ever known a friend like him, You'll understand the value of the past. And when I think of those he's left behind, How sad and yet how proud they all must be To give him up and still remain sublime. Content and proud to his own memory. I bow my heady I have no more to say. Their loss is far too great to comprehend. As though from them, the blessed light of day Had vanished, only darkness to the end. He was a boy, sure just a boy, perhaps six- teen, Rejoicing in the ecstacy of life, Preparing for the world that lay ahead - A world in which there is to be no strife. Sure he'd known strife, and left his home to turn To safety in this land across the sea: 'Twas here he was to study and return To England when the war had ceased to be. But we cannot direct our destinies, And so he died in Maine on such a date, He died because he saved another's life- Example of the irony of fate. We'll miss him but a new world he has found, Where there's no war, no sorrow, no unrest. And knowing him as was our privilege, We could not ask for more nor expect less. -Robert Cameron '45 THE NEED FOR POST-WAR PLANNING NOW Many people have held, and still hold, the opinion that post-war planning is all non- sense, that the war should be won first. They seem to think that plans for the future have nothing to do with winning the war. These short-sighted people believe that because the United States has access to more copper, or coal. than other nations there is no doubt about our winning the war. It is time for us to realize the strength of our enemies, for although our material wealth may exceed that of Germany or Ja- pan alone, yet the resources of these two countries, combined with those which they have captured, are as great as ours. But in addition to their potential resources these nations have something greater, something which the United States has not, and some- thing which demands our attention. They have a vision of the future. The people of these belligerent countries have been fired with the ambition and determination to rule the world. They are going to establish their own world order and be masters of the hu- man race. That thought is ever present in their minds. In order to meet on equal grounds these forces of destruction, we too must have a vis- ion of the future. We owe it to our fighting men. Every day our own husbands, sons and sweethearts are sacrificing their lives in the relentless struggle for the liberation of the world. Are we to let them believe that they are dying in vain? Are we to send them out on the battlefield with only the command that they fight? Are we to give them nothing to fight for? We must stand firmly behind these young men and make our post-war plans NOW. We must try to understand our future and pro- vide for the rehabilitation of our soldiers re- turning from the war. We must assure our fighting men that they are striving for a lasting peace. The United States is to play an important role in the reconstruction period to follow. We must make plans now for reg- ulating international relationships, for until
