Board o Education Midhe children now iove luxury, they have had manners and contempt for authority, they show disrespect for elders, and iove chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants oi their household. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contra- dict their parents, chatter hefore company and gohhie up dainties at the tahie, cross their iegs, and tyrannize over their teachersf' The ahove quotation was written hy Soc- rates some 2,500 years ago. The hahit of view- ing with aiarm the activities, interests and goais ot young peopie hy the oider generation is one of the uconstantsu of history. Yet somehow, civilization has progressed'-with each gen,- eration infusing some worthwhile improvements into the stream of culture. The small percentage oi udeiinquentsn have more spectacular ways of getting into trouhie, and with m 0 d e r n communication methods, their deviations receive wide puhiicity. AU too iittie is said or written ahout the solid core of American youth, the Q0 to Q5 per cent who de- vote their taients and energy to the process of growing up saneiy and constructively. I suhmit that this is the most wholesome, the hest educated, and the straightest thinking group of hoys and girls I have known in forty years of either heing a youth or teaching youth. I predict that when the seniors of 1955 have become the Holder generationf, they, too, will point with pardonahie pride to many great a- chievements and a better worid-which they will hesitate to ieave to a generation ot irre- sponsihie and decadent youth.

Girls in peasant hlouses and fuii shirts, and hoys in hrightly colored shirts, cummerhunds, and decorated trousers added to the illusion. A huge pinata, a gaiiy decorated clay haslcet fined with candy, hung in the center of the room. Someone set the pinata in motion and hiindfolded persons, armed with a hasehaii hat, were to swing at it and try to hreaic it. Vvaiiy Nihiicic succeeded, and everyone made a leap for the candy. Mr. Butler was the guest speaker, and the program was completed hy Mexican dancing, with Joyce Foricner and Phil Lawson dancing the traditional Hiwexican Hat Danceu and HLa Bomhaf' and Sherry Shane and Judy Tieman throwing Howers to the senors and senoritas as they danced.
