P --s AN EDITORIAL We who have been educated in a democracy and believe in freedom must fight for peace. The tragic war which so recently has been won has brought the world to a period of 'suspended animationf' the tranquility we sought is even now eluding our grasp. We who realize the awful finality of another world conflict have a great responsibility to bear. The world is often oblivious to the great dangers threatening it. We must awaken the worldg we must never let OUR minds sleep. We are the youth of Americag in our hands rests the future of the world, We must always examine situations carefully, and draw inferences from thought, not emotion. The racial and religious intolerence of the modern world is brought about by people who feel instead of think. The intelligence with which we have been gifted must be utilized, and not left to rest. We must be individuals, and not part of a mob. A thinking world instead of an impetuous world, means a world of peace instead of one which is ravaged by war. We must never permit the mental discipline which has been inculcated into our personalities throughout our school lives to vanish, but we must always preserve it as an inherent part of our make-up. We have been taught to think carefully and to choose wisely. Only by doing these can we hope to reach our goals and to glorify the concepts of democracy. Finally we must realize that no past victory is so greatg no present failure so dismal as to warrant living in retrospect. A mature person must be able to live in each instant as it passes. The material world is the world of the present and none other. lt is here that we must plant our hopes so as to reap a fuller harvest in the future. By IRA EWEN Ten
