yi% b 73 ) %3 A Message from The Pilot (jJinqA, OvslTl. $achammijo QunitfL QollsqsL There are wings now over the nation and over the world, as well as over the Sacramento Junior College. How may we interpret their significance? Wings are making the world a neighborhood. We now measure distances in hours instead of miles. We can fly from Chicago to any area on the face of the earth, in twenty-four hours. The world is, indeed, a neighborhood! But wings over the Sacramento Junior College suggest, also, that the world can be made a brotherhood. Being in intimate physical contact makes the world a neighborhood; being in intimate mental contact can make the world a brother¬ hood. Planes can now wing their way from place to place. Ideas can wing their way from mind to mind, anywhere in the world, and make the world a brother¬ hood ; but the ideas must be such as to promote international trust and under¬ standing. Whether or not the world is made both a neighborhood and a brotherhood will depend on you, on youth everywhere in the world; for it cannot be denied that the ideas of the youth of this generation will determine the character of the next generation and the kind of world we shall have. I have faith in you. I am sure that you can use Wings to help in establishing both a neighborhood and a brotherhood, in order that the world may be “a home to live in instead of a place to fight and freeze and starve in. ” Very cordially yours, NICHOLAS RICCI A RDI
