12 EDITORIALS THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR YOUTH Eudora Bartlett, ' 41 War in Europe! — War in Asia! — The Australians at war! These are the headlines of the world today, while we. the people of the United States, live in peace. What do these conditions mean to us, the Seniors of 1941? With all the world tearins; at each other ' s throats, we have been allowed a youth, not oTily a period of good times but also of opportunity. The conditions of the world of tomorrow de- pend on whether or not there is a chance for young people to live normal lives. A young person of today in Europe is growing up with bitterness and hate in his heart. How can he help hating when he is being bombed and torn from home? Childhood with its hope. jo), and lightheartedness is being wiped from the great- est part of the earth toda . Can peace be established on such a basis? The world needs the hope and optimism of the younger generation because it alone can see possibilities of happiness ahead. The old statesmen can see onlv war and greed in the future for they have grown with those ideas. We need unbiased vouth. The joy of being young is a vital factor in the future of the world because it takes a keen sense of optimism to see any pleasantness out of the present turmoil. It will take people who have not become de- pressed by conditions, weakened by hate and fear, and tired by the strenuous fisht for life, to make the world laugh and enjoy living. It will take every ounce of toleration, one of the blessings of vouth. to overcome the prejudices and hates which have been sown. If we are the only people in the world to be allowed a normal period in which to grow, how great is our responsibilit ! ith all the talk of defense, let us not forget that the hope of peace falls on us. We have more opportunities for jobs, better chances to make monev. a surer place in this world, but we also have better opportunities to gi e the world peace, jov and happiness. We cannot look out into our near future of manhood and womanhood without thinking of the suffering that the rest of the jjeople f)f our age in the world are bearing. We cannot look out with thought onh of self when others are being robbed of their outh their happiness, their security, and their health We must do something to change this condition It isn ' t hopeless. We must believe in our coun tr . stand up for our ideals, and build a morale that cannot be broken down by dictators, de- pression, or propaganda. e must live for tomorrow as well as for toda . So as we go forth into the world to make our way. we go with the hope and belief that the headlines of tomorrow will read — Peace in Europe! — Peace in Asia! — Peace over all the world.
