I, too, believe that we have seen greatness in our time in the person of NVinston Churchill. When we heard him on the radio in his victory address we were listening to one of the truly great of history. We must recognize this and not suppose that we must look back over the centuries to hnd really heroic characters. I believe it would be possible to say that Churchill's greatness is unexcelled. His part in World War II reduces the classic figures of Rome and Greece to relatively inconsequent importance. Greatness was within him. It showed up in 1911 when he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and made successful a small outdated navy which, in Britain's hour of trial gave her naval supremacy. All his schemes were not suc- cessful. We all know of the Dardanelles expe- dition. The defeat there was a heavy blow to him but it did not discourage him. He turned his energy and perserverance into other fields. His greatness was shown in its finest form in the tragic time when England had to stand alone. The fall of France in 1940 created the occasion for it to emerge, and for the momentous effect it was to have on civilization. He became a national figure of courage. Nevertheless, he had great opposition, for it seems he has always needed enough courage to light the people for whom he was fighting. Back in 1937 when he warned the people of the approaching war, and was called a war-monger, he faced a conspiracy of blindness and stupidity. But, on the declara- tion of war, he did not speak his revenge. All he had to say was, If we wrangle about yester- day, we have lost to-morrow . The moving eloquence of his words at that desperate time can be contrasted with his matter- of-factness when victory came. That was part of his greatness. When disaster threatened, he did not need to summon up courage. Courage was a part of him. Churchill had a rare com- bination of the gift of action with the gift of words. He will be quoted as long as Shakespeare. Shakespeare in his plays imagined from his re- mote and sheltered study, what a leader on the eve of battle might say, while what Churchill said was actual. His words have the greater reality and the truer eloquence that goes with reality. Again I quote, Before our living eyes is grandeur of action, and stature of personality unsurpassed in history . -BOB ADAMS, 5A. MR. CALVERT: Class, I am dismissing you ten minutes early today.
