Anything Goes lVIarga1'f-t Carin WITI-I ONLY one day left till the junior prom and my being without a partner, my whole world was slowly collapsing. I still can't imagine how I lived through that horrid time. Secretly, I planned all sorts of deaths. I imagine, had I de- cided which was the most glorious and dramatic, I would be sharing Romeo wr wee I v .h 1931.

I can't very well say it actually Worked out, but, anyhow, it tried. just as I was leaving study hall, my younger brother's friend meekly asked me to go to the prom with him. With all due respects to the masculine crea- tures roaming the world, I shall refrain from calling him a boy. Instead, I shall refer to him as a child, which almost every freshman is, and therefore place the blame on the human race. I-Iis hide- ous ears flapped gently as his nose tried desperately to hide in the oddest caverns of his face. Maybe I thought this the most dramatic of all deaths and then again maybe I was under some evil spell but somehow, for a lack of excuses and poisons, I said, Yes, For the rest of the day if anyone mentioned the dance, I slowly edged my way out. I couldn't let them know in advance the terrible state I was in. When I got home, I thought how ap- propriate this dance could have been if only it was a masquerade. All I could hope for now were a pair of earmuffs to cover those hideous projections of his or a sudden growth of hair to cre- ate a forest and block his ears from view. When the night came, though, I 6 STQINGHA N realized neither had happened. I-Ie just stood, like something sticky and col- lapsible until I was ready to leave. It wasn't until we got outside that I no- ticed the high zippered galoshes and sixteen rib umbrella. I-Ie must have felt my inspection for he answered my gaze by saying: Mother expects we'll have some rain tonight. This seemed incredible, not only be- cause the sky was clear and cloudless, but also because we were in the middle of a draught. After that brief sentence, we walked past one green, two brown, and four white houses in utter silence, And then we entered into a gay conversation all about our marks for the last three months. Right then and there I decided to jump in front of the next car that passed rather than go to the dance with him. Thank heavens no car passed for quite a While as this gave me time to realize if I did that he might die with me. Of course, the idea was appealing but suppose they put us in the same funeral parlor? Then I began to pray that no one would notice us as we ap- proached the school.

many generations and involwng widely semrated lands. lf we were asked to name the unifying theme that runs iirougn me ennre set of pictures it would be 'The Growth of Liberty under Law. ln the lobby itself, the tlfxee reproductions of me Herter murals from the State Capitol in Lincoln, lfebraska show the development of law from the days of imperial Home to me beginnings of our own republic. The first of these, 'The Appeal to Caesar, recalls to our not only the public order that the Romom empire extended over the fairest and most ciinlized portions of me eartiis surface but also the supreme respect shown for the individual rights of the Rornmt citizen. The Signing of the Magna Carta remmds us no less vitndly of the vigor- ous measures taken to bring within bounds the power of the king through the corruzined strength ot other elements in medieval England. The recognition of basic human rights embodied in the Great Charter, we may recall, served to restrain the central authority then and in later crises and thus helped to effect and mamtain a proper balance for the general good. ln me third mural, 'The Signing of the Constitution , we behold the corn- pletion of that document so fitmgly described by a great English statesman as tithe most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpnse of Here as the climax of the long historic process is the living constitution of a government ot defined areas and limited powers carrying within itself the seeds of its own future growth and offering a set ot checks and balances nicely designed to safeguard liberty while preserving law. ln the background at the beginning of the marble stairs, stands l'Bunker Hill with its embattled farmer preparing to meet in the defense of freedom the menacing line of advancing redcoats. Across the lobby at the entrance to Memorial Hall, our school ' Roll of Honor Wim its long lists of those former students who gave their lives in the service of our country brings the story of Bunker Hill up to our own times. The price of invaluable human lives must still urnriappily be paid to maintain the freedom that is ours. As We mount the staircase, 'The Signing of the Declaration ot lnde- pendenceu reminds us of the part played by our own Iohn Adams in the fight to launch a new nation. lt serves no less to revive memories of those truths We hold to be self-evident upon which our whole structure ot free self-govern- ment has been erected. At the summit, most appropriately stands The Making of the Flag as the smlool that in a sense contains within itself the entire story of the slow, pain- ful progress of mankind across the centuries to the rights and blessings that we enjoy. Let us hope that these vivid reminders may carry their message to each of us and abide with us as lifelong memories to strengthen our devotion to the cause of Liberty under Law. 5
