J hat was then his is now There are two trees on the grounds of the high school, one was planted more than half a century ago, the other this year. The two plagues near those trees are an ironic comment on each other. In 1921, the Usona Society planted a tree and dedicated it to the memory of the boys of Malden High School who fought in the World War,” In 1921, there was no understanding that there would be another war and that they would have to be numbered to distinguish them. In the fall of this year another tree was planted, another plague created, and another prayer lor peace was carved in brass. Two centuries after George Washington warned against entangling ” Alliances” Americans found themselves at the center of the world stage, often attacked, sometimes wounded, almost never at peace. Central America continued to preoccupy us. In October, our marines invaded Grenada. In February we faced a humiliating withdrawl from Beirut. Hunger in the nation, toxic waste dumps, deteriorating school ststems, acid rain, debate over missile deployment in Europe: There were the unresolved concerns of the year. The real mood of the year was a new spirit that could be e expressed in the idea I don ' t want to hear about then. This is now. We want to start to make things new again.” That attitude too, could be found in the places near those two trees planted by long separated generations. 2 Theme
