Phillip Sta k Prrndrnt The Seniors Jleade iA, A t 6usi Wo l P'tOKyiam Croton Aujx Vkt-PrtaJcui The seniors of 1942 leave the school with regret as all graduating classes do. Central High School has faced a situation this year similar to that of 1917. The seniors have lieen leaders in doing their duty in our war effort. In this crisis the seniors have showed patriotism, courage, and ability to shoulder responsibility. When war svas declared by the United States. Central High School wanted to do its part in helping to win. Ilie Hi-Y sold defense stamps; the Student Council Ixrgan a paper saving campaign; a discussion club was organized to trace the developments of the war; air raid drills ami other precautions were taken to safeguard against a jiossiblc bombing attack. These arc just a few of the accomplishments in which the senior class have lieen leaders. Five seniors left school to enlist in the marines. They arc: Jerome Shapiro, Allen Moran, Koliert Ceding, lames Mocn, ami Donald Kocllen. Some of these Ixiys are on the Isattle front right at the present time. Appropriately, red. white, ansi blue were chosen for the class colors ami added to the general patriotic air of the class banquet given at the Lorainc hotel. After class night exercises, there was dancing at the Maple Bluff (Country Club with music by John I uffy and his orchestra. Following class night and the class picnic came the formal graduation in the Central High School auditorium. The seniors wish to thank the faculty and administration for helping them acquire knowledge and also for helping them enjoy these last three years. We also wish to thank the underclassmen for their cooperation throughout this year. Lastly the seniors of 1942 salute the above-mentioned hoys who have dropjxrd from our class to join the armed forces. Cui’DI M'M Srrrrfary-Trrj mrrr KATHLEEN MX SKIN. Auto Or lung.

Shaw Prize Essays Madlian a+i Meantime. by Joan Porter 7esterday I walked again through the streets and around J- the parks of Madison. 1 could not reach every spot; indeed, I only saw its central district; but 1 was struck again with the peculiar beauty of a live city. I went first to our Capitol Park. There, against the background of terrace and dome, lilac and tulip bloomed in a mad frenzy of joy. At the very top of the majestic Capitol building stood the Statue of Liberty, as it has ever since I can remember. It is gilded, and as it caught the Maymorning sun. it threw it back in a million pieces to the windy sky. It has always amazed me that a man could make a statue of a thought, and do it so well that his meaning is apparent to all who see his work. Today, the famous arm of this statue holds high the symbol of Freedom over a whole land. The thought came to me, yesterday as I looked at her, that it wouldn’t surprise me much if one day she should wave her torch, climb down from her pedestal, and rally her followers together in person. But May mornings arc conclusive to such thoughts, and so I smiled a little and left her there. I turned reluctantly away from the new green of the Capitol Park, and traversed State Street to its very end. Bascom Hill lay before me, with Bascom Hall at the top of its green height. Giant elms climbed single file up the hill, each one greener than the last. Under its new blanket of grass, “The Hill has always represented to me a sleeping monster, curled beneath a soft quilt. When I was a very little girl, I was once positive that I had heard him snore; and sometimes, even now, 1 fancy I can see him breathe. Full of old, tile-roofed buildings, our campus fascinates me. Close to Bascom Hall stands the Carillon bell-tower; yesterday its pale stone was almost white against the deep blues and greens of the May day. Then, too, there is the wood that drops from the graceful carillon to the lake. It is full mostly of basswood and oak, and squirrels and chipmunks find it an ideal site. Through its maze of paths, I walked down to the shore, and from thence to the boat-house and on to the Fraternities. These houses, mostly stone, all seem to be trying to outdo one another in style, and beauty, and the result is a complete picture toward which all contribute. Such is our city itself. Lake Mendota was beautiful yesterday. White sails flecked the far water and canoes skimmed in the shallower places. There was even an occasional motorboat, a fact which caused much anxiety to the canoeists. One canoe was even upset by the wake of one of these motors, and the dripping ex-occupants pushed the upside down craft the few feet to the pier. Their disgust was almost amusing. I always like to think of Mendota, not as a lake, but as an ocean cove. I almost feel the breakers on the far side of Picnic Point, and often surprise myself wondering why the wind is not salty. I am always sorry to come home after such a jaunt, but Oust fyousi tyleedotnA by Lons Wermelskirchen America and its allies arc fighting a hard battle on many fronts to save I emocracy ansi the associated Four Freedoms. We arc fighting a battle to enable others to enjoy the same freedom, the same ideals, and the same opportunities that we in America now have and enjoy—freedoms which our forefathers gave to a young, struggling nation over one hundred and fifty years ago. The first of the Four Freedoms is the freedom to worship according to the dictates of one's own conscience. Our going to church plays an important part in America's daily life, and freedom of religion is needed all the more in this time of emergency. It is every citizen's right and duty to attend his church and be in the presence of his Maker. The second of the Four great Freedoms is the freedom of thought and expression. In totalitarian countries, dictators tell the people just what to think and say. Our government, Democracy, is based on the right of each citizen to think and speak his own way. We cannot let this sacred ideal slip from our grasp. Very closely related to freedom of speech is freedom of the press—an ideal held nearest to the heart of thousands upon thousands of newspaper men all over the world—an ideal that in many countries has been unmercifully suppressed. The daily newspaper is America's greatest source of information, and the presentation of all the viewpoints in an impartial way was considered important one hundred and fifty years ago and is more so today. Our fourth and most important freedom is one held by the fewest countries, it is the backbone of Democracy— the right of the people to elect their own leaders. Several countries have a totalitarian government whose power is slowly being checked; some have a king and a congress that represent the people, but very few have a government such that the people elect all their leaders as we have in the United Stales. These four freedoms arc the basic ideals that form the government of the United Slates of America—a Democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. At present, a cloud is in the sky; and we are engaged in a conflict with the totalitarian leaders who seek to break our Democratic ways. Our war is a war to make the world free for freedom—a war to carry on the torch of Freedom through the darkness, that the light of Freedom and Democracy may shine on the world again. there was a Sunday dinner waiting, so I walked back along picturesque Langdon Street. When I reached the top of Pinckney Hill I picked up my heels and ran, as I always do, all the way home. I flopped on our steps for a moment, too tired to climb them, and wondered where in the entire world is there a city half so lovely as ours. 'You Can’t Say We’re Not Trying” by Bill Pope I Ml
