THE GOBBLER-1945 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL JUNE M. CHAMBERLIN June is a quiet little miss with a smile for everyone. She is only five feet two, has blue eyes, and a brown feather cut.

Our loss, their gain. SALUTATORY □ N behalf of my fellow students present tonight and those who are now in the service of their country, I wish to extend a sincere welcome to the School Committee, to our principal, Mr. Hayes, to the faculty of Johnson High School, and to the parents, relatives, and friends who are present this evening. Racial Tolerance From all sides voices are raised to urge on our leaders to secure unconditional surrender. Nazi barbarism, and the treatment of the Jews are only two of the arguments raised against the Germans. I have never seen any Nazi barbarism. I could only repeat stories you have already heard. But before we condemn the Germans for their acts against the Jews, I would suggest we clean out our own back yard. The proverb, “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones,’’ applies to the American people as a whole. Democracy is our ideal. That is the purpose and entire aim of the war for most of the American people, and yet we permit race riots and racial discrimi¬ nation through the entire country. No one section can be blamed. It is a com¬ mon failing. Negroes compose approximately one-tenth of the citizens of the United States, and approximately three per cent are Jewish. Negroes find that there is a great deal of job discrimination in both the North and the South. If jobs are scarce, it is almost impossible for them to obtain a position for which a white is in competition, and the jobs which they do secure almost entirely consist of menial tasks. They are even denied the right, except in rare cases, to rise from the social and economic caste to which they are born because they are unable to plead their wrongs with a labor union 17
