CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School My most vivid recollection of my first year of teaching is not an incident but the group of students I had in a class in beginning Latin. Among its forty-three members was a Russian boy whose father, an army officer loyal to his Czar, had been murdered by the Bolsheviks. The lad had made his escape to America with his mother by the way of Siberia, Manchuria, and China. Another member was a young South American whose family had come to America for refuge after the failure of a revo- lution. There was also a Chinese boy who later attended Norwich University; a young Afghan Moslem (later an officer in the United States Army who was killed a year ago in Korea). There were others in the group of equally diverse origins and of equally high quality —- born of many lands, but Americans all! It was these for whom the inscription on the Statue of Liberty was written: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free Send these, the homeless, the tem- pest-tossed, to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” This is the glory of our Country. 6
