School Play 4; Picture Committee 4, Class Feistory To whom it may concern: Tomorrow we meet the world. Today we would like to turn back a few pages in appreciation of those who put the glitter into our high school life, who made high school a place to remember with a smile. It seems so very long ago that we came to Millbury High for that first day. Some of us may have been a little scared, but we buckled down and decided to be worldly and knowing, instead of just plain flighty freshmen. Everyone survived those first few weeks, and then it was time to elect our class officers. Those chosen were: Tommy Dunn, President; Edward Lonergan, Vice President; Carol Murphy, Treasurer; and Jessie Credit, Secretary. Carol Murphy, Betty Welcom, and Ellen Cullina were chosen as our cheerleaders. Our governing body established, we dropped our freshmen complexes and really got down to business. When football moved into the limelight, Bob Army and Ronnie Hairyes made a showing for our class. Field hockey moved into the picture about the same time and Betty Blondin, Mary Sweet, and Betty Welcom represented us in that sport. Many of our girls joined the Glee Club, and every Tuesday the whole school heard the sweetest music this side of the Assembly Hall. Donald Schroeder, Barbara Mazzeo, and Betty Welcom found their places in the talent group. When basketball season rolled around, John Herman was the only freshman boy in the sport. Betty Blondin and Lois Greenwood showed their skill on the girls’ team. By the time February arrived, we had heard so much about midyears that we were prepared for the very worst. We passed the exams and steered a direct course into spring. At this time we all went to see the school play and we, no doubt, clapped extra hard for Barbara Fox and Tom Dunn, our contribution to that galaxy of stars. Finally that first rose of summer was blooming, and the school doors were locked until fall. September crept up on us and the old familiar strains of school bells were ringing in our ears once again. This year we went head on into our business, for we realized we were no longer the ‘‘young ones.’’ Robert Hall was made Vice President, and the other officers were re-elected. The various clubs began to see more of us, and the Reflector boasted of Carol Mur- phy, Marji Shaw, Joyce Graves, Barbara Tarckini, and Jessie Credit on its staff. Again football season arrived, and Bob Army, Tom Markey, Donald Schroeder, and Ronnie Hairyes were out there trying. Betty Blondin and Betty Welcom went out for field hockey again, and this time they brought Barbara Tarckini along. It was impossible to have a basketball team, for the Town Hall wasn’t available for games; however there were intramural sports, and we did our best to see that our good players were kept in practice until the real thing could be offered again. After midyears had passed, we began to think of spring. Suddenly it was time to choose our class rings. Barbara Fox, Marie Capistron, Joan Roberts, Phil Angell, Tom Dunn, David Matson, and Carol Murphy made up the committee. At last our second year was over. Although it was hard to believe, we were already half way through our high school career and we were elated at the prospect of being juniors. When September came, we found that we had really become a part of the act. Upper classmen at last! And, oh boy, did we know it! David Matson was elected Vice Presi- dent, and the other officers remained the same. Football season brought a special feeling upon us. It was just sheer pride we felt when Bob Army, Donald Schroeder, Tom Markey, Ronnie Hairyes, Phil Angell and Tom Dunn showed us just what they could do. By this time David Matson had proved to be a very capable team manager. Some time later it was announced that five of us had received Horace Mann emb lems. These were Carol Murphy, Ann Schunmann, Marjorie Shaw, Nancy Milliken, and Jessie Credit. 12 Once again midyears seemed to usher out our worries and the winter days, and soon it was spring again. When baseball bowed into the picture, Tom Markey and Tom Dunn were right out there giving it the old college try. June finally came and with it a brand new problem, the prom. It took a lot of work and time, but finally the members of the various committees got things under way. Carol Murphy, June Foy, Barbara Fox, Lois Greenwood, Marji Shaw, Janet Ballard, Anne Richard, Mary Sweet, Betty Welcom, Ellen Cullina, Stanley Rosenblad, Charlie Hagstrom, Tom Markey, Ronnie Hairyes, Phil Angell, and Donald Schroeder were committee mem- bers, and most of these same people were called on the following year to handle our second prom. Then we said good-by to our senior friends and our junior attitudes. By the time September came we were just as conceited as we ought to be. After all, this was it. Seniors at last! It didn’t take too long to find out that being a senior isn’t all sunshine. Finally we came down out of the clouds and realized there was a heap of work to be done. This year we really left our mark in the school activity department. Phil Angell was President of the Science Club; our cheerleaders became captains of the squad; Donald Schroeder became football captain; Beverly Konkol, girls’ basketball captain; Betty Welcom, captain of the field hockey team; Ronnie Larson, basketball captain; and Carol Murphy and Jessie Credit, co-editors of the Reflector. During October a committee was chosen to select our class photographer. The committee, which consisted of Grace Gagliardi, Martha Sanford, Paul Salois, Bob Wil- liams, Stanley Rosenblad, John Herman, Joan Roberts, and Jessie Credit, chose Mercer Studios. Since the Town Hall was available this year it was possible to have the school play. The name of the play was ‘‘Let Me Out of Here,’’ starring Barbara Fox, Nancy Milliken, Bobby Williams, and Dick Bertrand from the senior class. Jessie Credit was then chosen as our D.A.R. representative and Editor-in-Chief of the Aftermath. Nancy Milliken and Stanley Rosenblad were elected Assistant Editors and Barbara Fox, Carol Murphy, and Marji Shaw, Associate Editors. David Matson was elected Advertising Manager, and the members of his committee were Ann Schunmann, Paul Salois, Barbara Mazzeo, and Beverly Konkol. Shortly after this, David Matson was elected Senator, and Tom Dunn, Representative, from our school. They later traveled to Boston to represent us at Good Government Day exercises. Late in February, Mr. Beaton announced that the honor students who had an average of eighty-five or better were to prepare essays to be recited and judged so that the graduation speakers could be chosen. The candidates were Barbara Fox, Marji Shaw, Ann Schunmann, June Foy, Nancy Milliken, Grace Gagliardi, Bernice Blanch, Carol Murphy, and Jessie Credit. From this group: Marji Shaw, Carol Murphy, Nancy Milliken, and Bernice Blanch were chosen. Class Day speakers were then chosen as follows: Prophet, Janet Ballard; Statistician, Barbara Tarckini; Giver of Gifts, Eddie Morin; Testator, Grace Gagliardi; Omissions and Corrections, Phil Angell; Historian, Jessie Credit. Well, at last our activities had come to an end, and the last of those four years was fading out of the picture. We began to wonder how we would feel when we went out into the world on our separate ways. Yes, it was the parting of the ways and we knew we would miss the smiling faces and the friendly get togethers. So, to whoever may choose to read this letter | say, ‘‘Remember us, the class of ’51. We worked, we laughed, we graduated.”’ Yours truly, Jessie Credit ne Class Prophecy The flames flickered and danced in the blazing fireplace, and the smoke curled: upwards like a thousand red tongues. Suddenly there was a bright flash and among the gleaming logs a quaint little figure began to take shape. Leaping and bounding among the flames he poked a little finger at me, beckoning me to follow him. Now the sparks seemed to have a message, and as | listened | heard a voice whispering, ‘‘l am the Genie of the Future. Follow me.”’ “But, Genie, |’m not asbestos lined,’’ | muttered as my eyes became attracted to his ring, the most beautiful jewel | have ever seen. Its magnetic force lured me toward the little man, and with or without the asbestos, | found myself gazing into his little ring and being lifted away on a pink cloud into a land of opalescent mist and Oriental music. Out of the haze gradually emerged the disconcerting glitter of a neon sign which flashed the words, ‘‘The Blue Peacock”’ into the night. As the door swung open, that multimillionaire, America’s best dressed man of 1965, Richard Bertrand, stood before me. The lilting background music was contributed by those lovely ladies Bernice Blanch and Lorraine Ballard. The fabulous floor show featured the famous terpsichoreal team of a Chabot and Barbara Mazzeo, who did a slow tap to the soft rhythm of ‘‘Tea for wo,’ As | looked out into the audience | saw two familiar faces — yes, there was Nancy Greenwood and Robert Army. Nancy, due to her fatal fascination for study, had become a chemistry professor; and Bob, a not d professor of ichthyology, the study of fish. After leaving the night club a large television studio loomed before my eyes. | learned that there was to be a famous debating program with Ann Schunmann upholding the negative side of the question: ‘‘Do the schools of today require too much studying?”’ The emcee for the show was none other than Eleanor Lemieux, with Ferol Lachapelle as the director, and Betty Walsh, the producer. | was also informed that their most successful competitor was the rollicking show called, ‘‘Blind Date,’’ emceed by Arlene Francis’ successor, Nancy Milliken. In this busy city with many tall buildings and skyscrapers | suddenly noticed a sign which read, ‘‘The New York City Park Building.’’ Raucous laughter was drawing me to the eighteenth floor, and | saw on one of the doors the name of Charles Hagstrom, a famous dentist known as the ‘‘Painless Exodontist.’’ His laughing gas treatment was administered by his dental hygienist, Jun e Foy. A few offices down | saw another name, David Matson, specialist in the art of extracting ingrown toenails. A large newspaper syndicate was in the adjoining building. Sitting at the editor’s desk was Mary Sweet. One of her feature editors was Barbara Tarckini, who wrote a column called ‘‘Advice to the Lovelorn.’’ The cartoonist who had just entered the office was Barbara McMahon, and Howard Pajala, the paper’s advertising agent, accompanied her. After bidding a fond adieu to my friends | followed the gleam of the ring, but | could barely make out the next sign. | slowly read, ‘‘Cullina Regalia and Interior Decorating Agency.’’ Because of their cooperation and hard work, Miss Ellen Cullina chose some of the members of the Senior Prom committee to assist at her agency. Working with her were Joan Roberts, Marjorie Shaw, and Stanley Rosenblad as vice presidents; Lois Greenwood, Anne Rae and Philip Angell, were members of the Board of Directors. | then came upon a large crowd going into a building, so | decided to follow them. Imagine my surprise when | saw Beverly Konkol in a wrestling ring. It seems that she was undecided about what to do, but after her experience in the Uxbridge game, she chose this as her favorite field of endeavor. As | came out of the building a jumble of lights blurred my eyes, but as the letters came into focus | read, ‘‘The Magie Song,’’ starring Thomas Dunn and Viola Snow. This is a musicale written by the famed playwright, Martha Sanford. A few blocks away | saw an advertisement which read, ‘‘Ronald’s Beauty Salon.’’ Closer examination revealed that this famous hair stylist features coiffures of distinction. Who is the marvel of the modern world? Why, he is America’s favorite Beautician, Ronald Hairyes. My eyes seemed to be playing tricks, but the lure of the ring directed my footsteps, and | was not destined to rest until | had travelled many miles. As | followed the mag- netic gleam | saw many tents, both large and small. | could see that | was approaching a circus ground, and | heard someone inviting the crowd to come to see the sideshows. The famous barker was Robert Hamilton. He was pointing out the various tents and 15 commenting on the ownership of each. The first was that of the sword swallower, Joyce Graves. The second was that of Cerce the Mermaid who, of course, was Gloria White. John Herman who had become famous for his great ability to tame wil d women from the Congo also had a tent. Not far away was a famous bowling alley with a good act known as the ‘‘Bowling Blondins.’’ Betty Blondin had teamed up with her brother. In the ring the death-defying triple somersault act was taking place. The daredevils were the well- known trapeze artists, Robert Williams and Alice Lowe. Of course théy needed some sweet music, and this was furnished by the circus orchestra, led by Marion Braney. As | left the circus the Genie pointed toward the sky and | saw a glittering airplane flying in the blue. My little friend told me that the pilot was Betty Roberts, and her co-pilot, Jean Davis. When they’re not flying, they sell autographs of famous movie stars. As | followed the beam of the ring farther and farther on, | came upon a small town on the outskirts of which stood a large rambling house which appeared to be a home for the aged and infirm. A person who had been very active during our high school days was now the owner, she was none other than Jessie Credit. In this same small town there was a little white church with a signboard on the front lawn. It announced a sermon on ‘‘The Evils of Tobacco and Fast Driving’’ by Reverend Russell Anders on. Beside this church was a little red schoolhouse. The teacher was putting on little rubbers, and helping the children with their coats. When she turned around | saw that model school teacher, Carol Murphy. A few miles to the north was a huge ranch house surrounded by rolling hills and fertile fields. As | neared the house, large letters announced: ‘‘Welcome to the Boots and Saddle Ranch.’’ The owner was that old rootin’, tootin’ Texas cowpuncher, Terrence Maloney. He told me that Betty Welcom was occupied with the manufacture of bubble bath and Brillo. Her Motto was, ‘‘If bubble bath doesn’t work, use Brillo.’’ Her chief competitors were the co-owners of the ‘‘Exotic Perfume Industry.’’ They were Virginia Bebo and Betty Lajoie, who also had a motto: ‘‘Charm as Cleopatra did with Exotic.” The rays of the ring seemed to be taking me into familiar territory. Why, sure enough, | found myself in West Millbury, where Thomas Markey was delivering milk for Matson’s Dairy. As we came closer to the town proper, | expressed a desire to visit the new high school. Presto — there it was! We went inside to the radio station where the Jimmy Fiddlerette of station M.H.S. was about to broadcast. She was Sharlene Fortin, and she astounded her listening audience with the following revelations: ‘Flash! Donald LeClaire and Ronald Larson have given up all their worldly pos- sessions to become missionaries in China. ‘ A new best seller has just come off the press; it is ‘Chassis Beautiful’ written by Edward Morin. ‘‘A model dream house has just been finished. It was completed by Gladys Lund- strom. ‘If you wish your tiny tots to learn the latest dance steps, send them to the ‘Tiny Tots Dance Studio,’ managed by Marie Capistron. ‘‘The whole state is talking about the famous speech given in the House of Repre- sentatives by the ‘lron Palate’ representative from Massachusetts, Donald Sch roeder. ‘‘The superintendent of M.H.S. has a new secretary; she is Sally Taylor. | find that she is keeping company with the chief cook in the cafeteria, Paul Salois. ‘Barbara Fox is now living in Canada. She owns and operates a very successful truck garden business in the summer, and in the wintet she owns a large plant which produces maple sugar. “Richard Cote, now known as ‘Gabby’ Cote, is the garrulous disc jockey for station WACKY. ‘‘Before | close, let me advise you that you shouldn’t miss the famous N.G.D. Trio appearing at the Rio Restaurant. They are Vivian Nelson, Grace Gagliardi, and Joan Davis. By the way, if you’re wondering about the title, just remember that its translation is: ‘‘No Greater Delight.’’ ‘‘That’s all for now. See you next week — same time, same station.’’ The quaint little Genie turned to me and asked, ‘‘Well, did you enjoy viewing the future activities of your classmates?’ ‘‘Oh, yes,’’ | replied, but the cracking of the embers seemed to drown out the sound of my voice. | looked around, but he was gone. The chill of the dying fire woke me and | giggled, wondering if this would really happen to the class of 195] at Millbury High School. 16 ‘Waitin’ for the train.’’ ‘ Sleeping Beauty”’ ‘ The Harem’’ ‘ Big Time Operators’’ tienes Stattsttes Russell Andersen Mutsie’’ Address: Martin Street — Favorite Expression: ‘‘No doubt about it!’? — Pastime: Anything but studying — Favorite Song: ‘‘Sweet Hortense’’ — Ambition: To join the Metropolitan Opera Company.

For, as we approach the last of our high school days, we recall the humorous incidents that we’ve experienced, the problems with which we have been confronted, and the merits of individual members of our group. Today, we wish to thank our parents for the sacrifices that they have made for us, for their encouragement which enabled us to complete our high school education. We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Beaton, who has so genially guided us throughout the course of our high school days, and to our teachers, who have so generously given their time and assistance for our benefit. We only hope that we are deserving of the patience, the aid, the kindness, and the generosity afforded us by our parents, our principal, and our teachers. Therefore, in b ehalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-One, | take great pleasure in welcoming you to our Class Day exercises. THOMAS R. DUNN Onmisstous aud Corrections While walking along a busy street in Boston one day, | was attracted by a neon sign which was in the shape of a lady’s hat. The sign was over a fashionable shop, and in the window was a familiar person arranging her original creations. Another glance at this fabulous designer revealed that she was my former classmate, Janet Ballard. She recognized me too, and | went in. After a very enjoyable conversation, during which we talked of the good times we had had in Millbury High, | left, knowing that one of my classmates had become a successful business woman and had established a name for herself in the millinery field.

We, the youth of America, must accept the hertiage of these brave heroes of the past and help perpetuate the prin- ciples for which they made the supreme sacrifice. We believe that we can take the initiative in the labor of peace, since we possess the means necessary to its realization; these means rest in our faith in man, and our belief in the dignity and worth of all men every- where, which is the one sure, common ground on which this structure can be raised. You may rightfully ask, ‘‘How can this great Christ- ian objective be attained?’’ The peace of the world today can be maintained only through clear thinking, strength of character, self discipline, prayer and love of mankind. Our communistic foe does not know the meaning of truth, honor, justice or human kindness. How long can we be fooled by its propaganda and subtle intrigue? Only as long as we apathetically take our democratic way of life for granted and labor under the false im- pression that we, as the richest and strongest nation of the world, cannot be subject to aggression. Only as long as we possess this attitude can our security be threatened in a direct way. We must revive the realism of Washington, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams in evaluating absolute tyranny and we must take the proper steps to fight it intelligently. We must distin- guish between democratic opportunities and democratic responsibilities. | mean, it is the duty of every youth to become actively interested in politics, to keep informed about public affairs, to know what legislation is being seriously considered by our representatives, to know who are the candidates and to determine whether they will be worthy candidates. It is only in this fashion that we can exert an intelligent influence on the affairs of our government. As citizens of the world, we have the obligation and duty to understand the structure, objectives and methods of the United Nations in its attempt to bring about world peace and prevent aggression by unscru- pulous nations. The spirit of America was founded upon the sacrifice and courage born at Volley Forge, the tol- erance and brotherly love of Abraham Lincoln, the aggressiveness and patriotic nationalism of men like Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. We must revive these attributes and give them a renewed emphasis if we are to overcome the obstacles which confront us. What greater contribution can we, the youth of America, make to a world for lasting peace? The strength of America rests in the fact that our population is the product of many lands, of people who came to this great country to free themselves from dictatorial powers, people seeking insurance for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our constitution noi only guarantees these rights, but also secures the equality of mankind regardless of race, color or creed. In the course of history all these Americans have hearts, minds and lives for the preservation of a free people. There is never any question of a man’s faith, color, or politics when he is called upon to fight for his country. We are all Americans. We need go no farther back in history than the plains of Normandy, the islands of the Pacific, such as lwo Jima and Okinawa, and now to the mountains of Korea. Therefore, our enemies shall not engage and divide us by planting roots of dissension, as long as we stand on the prin- ciples of brotherly love. Our final hope for peace, prosperity and happiness rests in the omnipotent goodness and understanding of God to whom we owe our complete allegiance. Man- kind, in the evolution of civilization, has too often neglected to render homage to his Creator. It is only when we lift up our hearts to Him in humble prayer and thanksgiving for all the blessings He has so kindly bestowed upon us, that American youth can truly hope for peace of the world. Therefore let us, each in his own words and each in his own way, pray for a world united in peace and, as the echo of the Freedom Bell resounds throughout the land, hope that this world under God will have a new birth of Freedom. Thus speaks the youth of America. Marjorie Shaw 25 Greatest Educator Horace Mann was one of America’s greatest ed- ucators. Today his name is associated with the public school system of the United States, but few people realize its significance. Every American should fully understand how his achievements benefited the child- ren of this nation. In any accurate account of this sacrificing person, Massachusetts will hold pre-eminence, because she was both the home of Horace Manm and the first bene- ficiary of the great work that he accomplished. Horace Mann was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, May 4, 1796. The child’s father died when his distin- guished son was but thirteen years of age. However, he left in his family a strong impression of intellectual and moral worth which, with the training that he gave them in the home, was the principal legacy to his children. It was once maintained that the source of every good work which Horace Mann did could be traced back to the parental home — his devotion to education, his pteading for the slave, his temperance principles and practice, and his sympathy with the wretched and miserable. Mr. Mann’s early education was such as Massa- chusetts gave her sons a century ago. Books designed for children were few in number, and their contents were meager and miserable; his teachers were good people, but poor teachers. Horace Mann achieved, through great exertion, a college education at Brown University, and he later obtained some practice in the teaching profession at that same school. Following admission to the bar in 1823, he refused to accept any unjust cases and he proceeded to build up anexcellent practice. Like many lawyers, Horace Mann was attracted to political ser- vice and was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. During this decade there was growing agitation far better schools. At the age of forty-one, Mr. Mann abandoned his legal profession and retired from pol- itics to accept the secretaryship of the Massachusetts Board of Educction. He accepted the challenge of the appointment with the ferver and determination of a Crusader, a nd entered a branch of service which made him one of the greatest Americans of all time. His task was to make public schools good enough for the children of a great democracy and the chosen means for the advancement of the human race. His wish was to restore the old custom of having all children ed- ucated together so that the line dividing the rich and poor might not necessarily be coincident with that dividing the educated and the ignorant. In 1838, Horace Mann accomplished one of his foremost educational services to the state and the country — the establishment of the first Massachusetts Normal School, which he called a seminary for teachers. When Mr. Mann resigned from the Board of Education in 1848, he had improved the school buildings, pro- vided better teachers and better disciplinary methods, introduced new courses of study, and, above all, created a permanently aroused public sentiment in favor of educational progress. On August 2, 1859, Horace Mann passed away, too weary to continue his campaigns, but a glorious winner of victorities for humanity. Carol Murphy Uuderstaudiug os treugth There are definite connections between the past and the present. A lonely Man kneeling in a garden, His head bowed and His eyes filled with agony; a young soldier kneeling in a Korean foxhole, his eyes filled with fear his hand clutching a gun — these, on the exterior, are two sharply contrasting scenes, but they are really very much alike. Each is motivated by a great love for mankind. Life, to man, is his most treasured possession, but both Christ and the young boy were ready to relinquish this precious gift for the safety of all men. They were ready to give their lives for the Negro, for the Jew, for the Protestant, for the Catholic, for the good and the bad. Unfortunately, immorality and Godlessness have frozen the heart of the modern man, and he is fast becoming the slave of his own vices. He no longer feels the need of his religion. He desires to be alone, yet in his loneliness he finds no peace. Evil is no longer camouflaged, but is commonly accepted inevery- day life. We find it in the divorce courts, in racial prejudice, in things which horrify us all. Man does not like what he sees. He is discontented and unsure of himself. He has great good within him, but he does not realize that return to real devotion and real Christianity is the way to culivate this go odness. Yet for this same misunderstood, lovable mankind a King allowed himself to be nailed to a cross and raised against the sky. He offered Himself because He loved all men and wanted their love. In like manner, each boy who dies in the Korean war, who gives his youth and his life for mankind, is like another Christ. As Mary stood beneath the cross suffering mentally the agony of her Son, so do countless parents feel the anguish of their child’s sufferings. We who are not called to fight with guns still pos- sess the valuable weapons to aid our loved ones. Our greatest and most useful implement is our ability to understand. We must understand what makes a man a Communist. A man is not born a Communist; he does not develop into a Godless monster over night. His understanding is broken down gradually until he sees with the eyes of the blind. A man who is now a Communist may have been merely a careless Christian. We at home must prevent: slothful Christian life from leading us into the terrors of Communism. We owe this much to the men who are fighting and dying for our security and wel- fare. We must not be carless in our duties to God and our neighbor. We must bring Christ back into the home, into the school, into the office, into the factory, back into the world. When we have done this, then, and only then, shall we reap the fruits of lasting peace. Each one of us has the power to decide the fate of our loved ones and our nation. We have the munitions of prayer, sacrifice, and brotherly love. We have the assistance of an Almighty God. We have our intelli- gence and our resources. The Man on the cross and the soldier in the foxhole have proved that greater love hath no man than that he give nis life for his friend s. Now it is up to us. Bernice Blanch 26 Ciuce Pride A collection of buildings and stores, a church, and a school do not make a community. Rather, a com- munity is like a large tree whose roots, limbs, bark, trunk, and leaves work for a common purpose. Any group of people living together and working for the general welfare form a community. It is limited only by the purposes, industries, and spirit of cooperation that bind its citizens together. You may make a city as beautiful as you please — every street a park, every building a palace — and yet, unless its citizens are actuated not by selfishness but by principle, your city is worth no more than Sodom or Gomorrah. The human element is really the important factor in the life of a city. Yet often we think more of the physical adornment than of the adornment which comes from noble character. Each individual must ‘“‘let his light shine’’ — that light of personality and power which God has given to all of us. The true proclaimer of democracy lets it shine out of his life on every occa- sion — in the home, school, office, and on the street. The light of service and devotion must meet all the problems of society and demands of our community life. Each heart should thrill with the same sense of patri- otism which burns in men’s hearts in time of war. This patriotism does not mean dying for one’s country, but living for one’s country. The modern trend is to place too much stress on civic rights and too little on civic responsibilities. We do not value our civic privileges — protection from lawlessness and fire, use of city streets, parks, and playgrounds, free education and the secret ballot. The average citizen considers these his inalienable rights, forgetting that they represent toil, money, and self- sacrifice. We do not measure the true worth of the opportunities afforded us. The attitude of every citizen should not be, how much can | get from the city, but how can | heip my community? The true citizen forgets himself in the larger life about him. He loves the city with a pas- sionate devotion and thrills with civic pride. . The keynote of modern citizenship is duty to the civic government. ! How many public officials enter office with no individual interests to serve, but absolutely free to devote themselves to the public welfare? How many enter civic service with the same sen se of chivalry that would send them to battle if our nation were attacked by a foreign foe? We must demand men of high character in the business machine of our city — character which is built upon the foundation stones of righteousness, and not on the shifting sands of trick- ery and deceit. We must cease to think of the city in terms of brick and mortar, yards of cloth, and tons of steel. Instead, let us remember that it is composed of human beings who must listen to the beating of the city’s mighty heart, of human beings who are ready to answer its call. It is an impossibility to live for one’s self alone. A thousand common interests draw men together; therefore we must meet our responsibilities. The task before the average man is to recognize the claims of brotherhood, to accept all men as sharers in the city’s life, and to take up the burden of participation in the government of the city. Such men working together, will open the door of the future with the keys of se- curity and better civic life.
