Or will We, when asked ques- tions of our country's government, merely shake our heads'and say, nThe government is nothing more nor less than a hedge-podge of disturbing 4 ' ,elements which do not concern us in the leastlu We pride ourselves by being very democratic.f Isn't this being just a bit too democratic? 'A Why should We take such an offensive attitude when we can learn so mucho if we only allow ourselves to be' - ' taught? We can easily gain,access to newspapers and practically every modern home has a radio. Public i libraries furnish many interesting books on government and citizenship. Nevertheless they are hardly ever used and if the'radio is turn on,e jazz musicfis preferred to lectures, news reports, etc. It is consid- ered almost a disgrace, and-is cer-s tainly very much out of date, if, onerlooks at anything besides WPop- eyen in the.neWspaper. e.a -With so many interesting facts 'surrounding youth in daily life, how'can We be so oblivious to what is happening in the World today? Let us in'the future remember they I importance.of knowing the Wins and outsW'of our governmental system, for We gre'youpps today but we will be citizens tomorrow. i r if M A i- June.Davenport '38 . , I 1 k , Q mn is KIND - f I o V by Stephen Crane ,Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind. Because your lover threw Wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted steed ran on alone, .Do not weep. W 'L War is kind. . - Do not weep, babe, for war is kind, Because your father tumbled in the j 1 X o yellow trenches, Raged at his breast, gulped and died. War is kind. . Mother whose heart hung humble as a at I - button Q On the bright splendid shroud of your . son, Do not wcop.i Har is kind. Those few chosen words is Crane's way of expressing concisely the disas- trous effects of wer.p Those who serve their country in the trenches suffer temporarily but when their humble spark of life is extinguished, the loved ones at home are left to bear the grief and sorrow of the passing war . It is commonly known that the Americans are a peace loving people and are not to make useless sacrifi- ces again, as in 1917, by being drag- ged into Q Nwholesale slaughterV. Let us do our utmost to confine the ,conflicts of the present time to foreign lands. Americans have the will to be independent and should uphold this policy to preserve ourl country. A i Lot us look back on past wars as history not to be repeated. Teresa Madden F59 xxxxxxw ' Paths of glory e y Lead but to the grave. s i, ' --Gray's Elegy

H- S- me s been a school affair, but this year it has been made a class affair be- tween the Juniors and seniors on tho basis of two-thirds profit for thefsoniors and one-third for the juniors. In this way the seniors will benefit and the juniors will have a start for next year. Along with our initials car- ved on the desks, and our names .written in the textbooks, we leave behind us this issue of the TATTLER as a remembrance. I ' We have endeavored to give to our readers a favorable impression of the class of 1938. We hope we have succeeded. We wish to thank the faculty for the help they have so willingd ly given us these past four years in all our undertakings. we also- wish to express our gratitude to the townspeople for their helpful , support in all our class activities..
