In Paris near the end of the eighteenth century, there lived a cobbler named Jean, whose shop was in the heart of the city, just around the corner from the Bastille. Jean kept a diary in which he recorded the events of his day. One day is of particular importance: July 14, 1789. On that day his entry read: Nothing im¬ portant happened today”. Any diligent history student recognizes this as the beg¬ inning of the French Revolution, when Desmoulins led his followers in an attack on the Bastille. Our immediate reaction to this statement is one of scorn. How, we ask can anyone be so completely oblivious of events unfolding before him? However, un¬ fortunately for society, many many of its members know little and care even less about things going on around them. In a school especially it is vital to school spirit and the success of student organization that students be aware of what is happening within the school. Know¬ ledge of a situation increases appreciation of it. Criticism of a school function is too easy unless you have had a hand in its planning; finding flaws in a school team is prevalent among those who have not watched the players drill and practice; im¬ patience results in waiting for the Blue n White unless you have first-hand know¬ ledge of the effort required to meet the deadline. The attitude of too many is, Let the executive do the work. It ' s their job . It would be wise to face the fact now that you are not always going to be on the out¬ side looking in. Someday you will be in a position of responsibility and realize what a boost a little outside help can be. Just because a group doesn ! t beg for ex¬ tra help, don ! t take it for granted that it is doing wondrously well with its mem¬ bers. A fact that is unfortunate but true is that in every organization, regardless of size, a small minority does all the work. This has been driven home to me time and again as the head of an organization and my contemporaries will agree. To those who have done your own work and a majority of someone else f s go our undying thanks. To the remainder of those who were content to coast along on the generosity of others goes our sympathy. To the student body as a whole go our- exhortations to be dissatisfied with your present knowledge of all things. Think about this; A person who is content with what he has done will never be famous for what he will do. 7
