As democracy depends upon education, so freedom requires a sense of obligatiton and liberty imposes a sense of responsibility. Because we realize that school provides the basis and shapes the ideals for our fu- ture lives, we wish to offer our sincere gratitude to the members of our city for their in- creasing efforts to provide the youth of Shawnee with a beautiful new high school. 4 DEDICATION For her kindness, for her hospitality, and for her con- sideration in granting to us the use ot her buildings, her equipment, and her facilities, we gratefully dedicate this Caldron of 1949 to Oklahoma Baptist University.

BURKS Mr. A. L. Burks-our school superintendent! What a lot of meaning that title carries, and what a lot of little familiar memories the words our superintendent revive! Although he usually does not have much contact with the students, they remember him for his pleasant manner and his grave but kindly dignity. We, the Seniors of Shawnee High School, 1949, shall never forget him. His gift of diplomacy, his natural friendli- ness, and his fair judgment are the qualities of his charac- ter which have endeared him tothe whole school. We hope that he will remember us. Good luck and good health for the future, Mr. Burks! - MR. BROKAW To our friend Mr A W Brokaw go the thanks for car- rying on the principalship of our school so efficiently, under such harum-scarum conditions. Not only does he fill his ex- ecutive duties capably, but he does the little extra things that so endear him to the students. These extra things in- clude knowing the students by name, never being too busy to help them, and putting their problems above all. With his adequate experience, Mr. Brokawis well equip- ped to handle the intricate work of managing Shawnee High School. His cheerful personality and natural dignity influ- ence his office staff as well as the faculty and students. The school, the staff, and especially the Seniors of '49 will remember him affectionately for a longtime. 4.::f:s X ,1 , X at . f i' Z Z! X W Wy .-.. .. fa AIRS. D.'XNA HENDON ROY STUART VV, M.

Jones The norfhbound KaTy was due To arrive shorTly and There on The sTaTion plaTTorm, pacing back and forTh raTher impaTienTly, was John Jacobs. Time for The Train and, yeT, where was iT? John was The Type of person who would aT- TracT your eye in any crowd. He was Tall, dark, and hand- some. His brown laughing eyes Told you ThaT here was a man who had lived life To The fullesT. Indeed, he did. In TacT, he was waiTing for The Train ThaT would Take him To The Indian TerriTory. The year was l903 and The monTh was December. The railroad sTaTion was in The liTTle Town of Waco, Texas. John Jacobs had heard of The Thriving and unlimiTed opporTuniTies of ThaT pioneer liTTle ciTy in The Indian TerriTory, Oklahoma CiTy. AfTer hearing so many Tales of The greaT promises of The TerriTory, John had de- cided To see if all The sTories he had heard were True. He was noT ouT To sTake a claim for land buT was iusT an am- bifious young man who had heard of The opporTuniTies of business There. He owned a liTTly candy, fruiT, and cigar sTand inside a grocery sfore, which was builT on The Town square. Yes, iT was quife a place, and his services To his cusfomers were always friendly and helpful. His business was suTficienT. Sfill, iT did noT saTisTy his ambiTion. John was TwenTy-Three years of age, was happily married, and was living wiTh his family and moTher in Waco. They had lived There since l888, when They had immigrafed To The UniTed STaTes. IT was noT long ago ThaT John had been conversing wiTh his good friend, Harry Tillman, who owned one of Wa- co's oldesT and finesT bakeries. He firsT meT Harry when he was driving a delivery wagon for Harry's bakery. The Two soon became fasT friends. ln facf, iT was Harry who gave John The idea of going To The Indian TerriTory. John re- membered a few weeks pasT when The old baker had come inTo his liTTle shop on a Safurday afTernoon To Tell him abouT a leTTer he had received from his broTher in GuThrie, which sTaTed ThaT business There was Too good To be True. Harry was a seemingly good conversaTionalisT who liked To Tell in- credible sTories abouT The old days in Texas. However, John knew ThaT This Time Harry was noT joking, and Therefore paid close aTTenTion To whaT he had To say. Johnny, This is The place where you should go, Harry said, and from whaT is in This leTTer The sooner you geT There The beTTer. Why, I don'T wanT To leave Waco. I like This Towng besides, I have my home and business here, John replied. Now, Johnny, leT's noT kid ourselves. You know business here is noT whaT iT should be, and you are a young man. IT wouldn'T hurT To go and see if business There was whaT They say iT is. Why, if I were you, I'd leave This Town, and go up There quicker Than you could say 'Jack Robinsonf l0l John was very much impressed wiTh his friend's enThusi- asm. Never had he seen Harry so earnesT and serious abouT anyThing since he had known him. Many a Time before The baker had given him advice, and iT always proved To be genuine. This was enough To convince John. From ThaT momenT on he was imagining himself in a posiTion similar To,ThaT of Harry's broTher. The nexT Thing To do was To sell his wife and moTher This wonderful idea. A huge Task, buT aTTer many hours of discourse They were finally persuad- ed. Then John spenT many resTless days and sleepless nighTs waiTing for The Time when he was To deparT for The new land. AT lengTh, The Time had come. The Train had arrived, and John, Taking one lasT look aT Waco, climbed aboard. He knew ThaT he was like a simple greenhorn gambler siTTing in for a hand againsT The mosT crafTy dealer of all, faTe. ATTer he had boarded The Train, he meT numerous peo- ple on Their way To The TerriTory, all of whom had Their own ideas of success in The new land. John's hopes rose higher and higher wiTh each sTory he heard, and before evening his hopes had reached Their climax. He arrived in Oklahoma Cify and found The weaTher To be somewhaT dreary and unpleasanT, buT This did noT change his sTrong deTerminaTion To Tind his new life. He hurriedly checked in aT The nearesT hoTel and Tried To resTg for opporTuniTy seemed To be beckoning him, and The sooner he answered The call, The beTTer he would feel. He had lunch, Then sTarTed on a long walk which Took him Through The hearT of The ciTy. AT firsT, he saw noThing excepT a few liTTle sTores, which were enioying a fairly good business. Then as he walked TarTher and TarTher The scene changed To sTill fewer sTores and more vacanT loTs. When John reTurned To The hoTel, he was a very disappoinTed man. Oklahoma CiTy was noT The wonderful booming liTTle Town he had ThoughT iT would be. True, iT was a fair-sized liTTle Town wiTh businesses ThaT mighT be as good as Those in Waco: buT iTs TuTure did noT hold The promise for which John was looking. The nexT mornig iT began To snow. John, sTill a IiTTIe upseT over his findings, wenT down To breakfasT in The hoTel coffee shop. While he was eaTing aT The counTer, he meT a man by The name of Jim Rogers, who was a Traveling sales- man in The TerriTory. John asked him how long he had been in The TerriTory. l've been Traveling Through The TerriTory for abouT Two years, JLm replied. AT TirsT I didn'T like iT. Sales were few and The Towns where I Traveled were as 'dead as a door- nail.' buT Then I changed my rouTe a biT and The sales sTarT- ed picking up. Why, l iusT came from a IiTTIe Town called Shawnee and iT's a humdinger if I ever saw one. WhaT did you say The name of The Town was? John asked, raTher sTarTled. Why, uh-uh-Shawnee, Jim said. Like The resT of The Towns in This TerriTory, iT was named afTer a Tribe of Indians. And you say iT's a good business Town? John con- Tinued. l Good! Why, man, Those Indians come in for Trading, and They buy anyThing, Jim said. BuT is iT iusT an Indian Town? John asked. You know I have a family and I don'T wanT To move Them down here and have Them scalpedf' A Jim laughed and replied, They'll be as safe There as any place in Texas: and you'lI Take my advice, you'll geT down There pronTog and some day you'll Thank me. John reTurned To The hoTeI lobby To inquire abouT rail- road connecfions To Shawnee. He found ThaT The Train was due To arrive in 'Iwo hours. He immedia+ely wenT To his room and sTarTed packing. He kepT Turning The Things he had heard from The salesman over and over in his mind, wonder- ing wheTher iT was worTh going To This Ii++Ie boomTown - and maybe having The same disappoinTmenT all over again. IT mighT be beTTer To reTurn To Waco and be conTenT wiTh The li+TIe business he had, for he was noT financially able To spend his Time running To every Town in The TerriTory To see Llaslhe righT one. Finally. Time had elapsed and he had only haTfTah hxxiamh his Train.nT'Te paid his hoTeI' bill and walked Toward The railroad sTaTion, which was only a few blocks away. When he arrived aT The sTaTion he was deTermined To Take anoTher gamble. He boarded The Train wiTh new hopes of finding The Town for which he had been looking. When he arrived in Shawnee ThaT evening he found ThaT There was anoTher Train ouT aT eleven o'clock ThaT nighT, in case ThaT This Town also Turned ouT To be a disappoinf- menT. He had dinner and immedia+eIy aTTerwards sTarTed on anoTher of his long walks. This Time The Things he saw were quiTe differenT, for The Town was exTremely crowded and The sTores were running over wiTh Trade. For a momenT he was dumbfounded. OT course, This was SaTurday nighT and business was usually good on SaTurday nighT in Waco. buf never like This. Besides, iT was snowing, and people didn'T usually go Tramping Through The snow, SaTurday nighT or noT. He wenT inTo several IiTTle sTores iusT for The ioy of Each Time ThaT he lefT a sTore, his confidence in This new Town grew sTronger wafching people make Their purchases. and sTronger. On one of The corners he noTiced a group of people. He approached The crowd and found ThaT The peo- ple were busily buying sacks of hoT popcorn. The popcorn machine was mounfed on a IiTTle wagon, and Though iT would be old fashioned Today, iT was Then considered To be The very laTesT Thing. The aroma of The popping corn was over- whelming. Though iT had been only a shorT Time since he had eafen dinner, he knew ThaT he had To have a bag of popcorn. He decided To waiT un+iI The crowd had moved away before approaching The popcorn vender. Wha+'II iT be, misTer? The man asked. A bag of popcorn, replied John. While The man was sacking The popcorn, John inquired: How's business? I've been as 'busy as a bee'g This is a hoT Town. I iusT wish folks would realize ThaT I only have Two hands. I used To be over aT Tecumseh, and iT was never like This, answered The vender. BUT is iT always like This-I mean, even when iT isn'T SaTurday nighT? John asked. Sure, business is always booming in This Town. I Tell you, young man, This is an up and coming Ii++Ie Town. You a sTranger in These parTs? Yes, my home is in Waco, Texas. I was in Oklahoma CiTy lasT nighT and business wasn'T like This. John ThoughT a momenT and conTinued, Do you know where I can find a building and maybe a house for renT around here? Well-uh-lemme see. Yep, I was Talkin' To a fella Today who said he mighT have a building Tor renT, if he could find The righT person To renT iT. Where can I Tind This man now? John asked. He owns The cafe across The sTreeT. You mighT find him There, The popcorn inan said. ' ' Y f AfTer receiving his insTrucTions from The popcorn vender. he seT ouT To find The man Trom whom he could renT The building. By The Time ThaT he lefT Shawnee The nexT morning, he had made arrangemenTs To renT a building and had also renTed a house for his family. He was in a happy frame of mind as he boarded The Train for Waco. Ideas were run- ning Through his mind abouT The kind of business he was going To open. He decided To have a conTecTionery, The besT in The TerriTory. In searching for a name, The phrase. busy as a bee came inTo his mind. ThaT's iT, he said, The Busy Bee. When John reTurnecl To Waco, he was overflowing wiTh enThusiasm wiTh his new find. JusT Think. Shawnee, Indian TerriTory. Why, maybe, someday, he would even own some properTy There, a business of his own, and his own home. He walked inTo The living room and rushed To his wife. HoneyI he exclaimed. I've Tound iT, our new home, and iT's wonderful! The people are so Triendly, and iT's The busiesT Ii+TIe Town I've ever seen. His young wife looked aT him: and she knew ThaT if John said iT was good, Then iT musT be wonderful. T BuT his moTher, who had had many hardships ThroughouT her life, looked aT him doubTfully and said, Now, calm down, John. Were you There long enough To geT The Tull picTure? You know, iT will cosT a loT of money To move To This new place. Here we are seTTled, have our home, our I02 ln friends, and you have a good Iiflle business fhaf will grow in lime. Oh, Mama, John cried, you don'f undersland. This is 'Ihe place I've always been Ioolring for. I may nof have fhis chance again. And besides, I've renfed a house for us and a building for my business. John's Mofher had no reply for her son. Insfead, she resolved fhaf, misfalre or nof, whal' her son was doing had fo be righf. John and his family were busy paclring for fhe nex'I 'rwo weelrs. Friends were sfopping in fo wish him success and happiness. Evenfually, fhe day for leaving Waco arrived. To say fhaf John was exciled would be a mild sfafemenf.

Be- Tore she had been running very long, however, iT became evi- denT ThaT several props were needed To sTrengThen her, so in l70l The TirsT Ten repairs, called The Bill oT RighTs, were made. The TirsT greaT TesT oT The ConsTiTuTion was The war oT I8l2. ATTer The successTul conclusion of ThaT war, The Train was recognized by all. No longer was iT a Toy operaTed by a group oT Treedom-mad immigranTsg iT was a sTrong, invincible machine, on which The enTire counTry resTed. The greaT express rumbled along Through The TirsT halT- cenTury oT her exisTence. During Those years, The Train pass- ed many milesTones oT progress. Among These milesTones were The Louisiana Purchase, The esTablishmenT oT The FirsT NaTional Bank oT America, and invenTions such as The coTTon gin, The reaper, The sTeamboaT, and The Telegraph. She saTe- ly passed such danger poinTs a s a greaT war wiTh a Toreign power, organized Indian resisTance, and a naTion-wide Ti- nancial panic. All had gone well wiTh The new Train. The ConsTiTu- Tion had proved herselT invincible againsT any ouTside enemy. No Toreign power could ever again wreck The Train, Though many would Try. BuT waiT-There is one enemy ThaT even The ConsTiTuTion was hard puT To arm herself againsT -inTernal revcluTion. As The greaT Train sTeamed inTo The second half-cenTury oT her liTe, she approached a more dangerous crossing Than she had ever meT beTore-Tor The ConsTiTuTion was enTer- ing The score oT years beTween i850 and I870, a score oT years which was To bring The bloodiesT war The world had yeT seen, a war in which broTher Took up arms againsT broTh- er--The Civil War. For Tour long years, The ConsTiTuTion TeeTered on The brink oT desTrucTion. AlmosT-almosT she was wrecked. Truly The ConsTiTuTion Taced The greaTesT TesT she would ever meeT, Taced iT, ToughT iT, and came Through gloriously Tri- umphanT! Never again would The greaT Train be ThreaTened, Tor she had proved herself worThy in The hardesT Trial oT allg and The union was saved! The ConsTiTuTion has experienced many a crisis in The nineTy years since The War BeTween The STaTes. Among These have been Two world wars which have ThreaTened noT only The peace oT The naTion, buT The very exisTence oT mankind. She has seen Tinancial prosperiTy, and she has Taced The greaTesT depression The world has ever known. She has waTched This naTion expand Trom ThirTeen small sTaTes wiTh a populaTion oT 3,500,000 To a naTion which sTreTches Trom The ATlanTis To The PaciTic, wiTh an area oT over Three mil- lion square miles and a populaTion oT I50,000,000 people. The ConsTiTuTion has seen The naTion change Trom a coun- Try largely made oT Tarmers and small Tradesmern To a greaT indusTrial power wiTh Tens oT Thousands oT gianT manuTacTur- ing plans employing millions oT workers. WiTh all This expansion The ConsTiTuTion has grown. Such was The genius oT ThaT TirsT group of draTTsmen who meT in Philadelphia To lay The plans Tor a new kind oT Train, such was Their wisdom and ToresighT, ThaT wiTh only eleven addiTional changes The greaT Train now guides The greaTesT naTion in The world. The ConsTiTuTion can never resT on her laurels. She is even now approaching a dangerous curve which is ThreaT- ening The naTion and all The world. An unscrupulous hobo, called Communism, has crepT aboard The Train, and is working day and nighT To overThrow her power. BuT - if every one oT The I50,000,000 engineers aboard The greaT Train will Throw all his energies inTo guarding her from The eTTorTs of This unscrupulous hobo, The ConsTiTuTion can never be wrecked. For on This Train is a lighT-a lighT To shine Through and pierce The darkness oT ignorance. This lighT is called The Preamble, and in iT are expressed The ideals oT a naTion, The explanaTion oT ThaT naTion's greaTness, and a shining plan Tor The TuTure.

T m4 The Advancement of International Understanding Joi-IN KEINZLE To advance international understanding is the greatest factor in the prevention ot war, the removal ot totalitarian governments, and racial prediudice. International under- standing would better enable all nations to agree with each other and live together in harmony. The greatest enemy ot this understanding is greed, tor greed and totalitarian governments are a blend ot the same thing. The totalitarian governments have a neat way ot carrying out their system ot greed: The people are taught that they are superior to all other races and that no other government is tit to survive. It seems impossible that people with intelligence could believe such propaganda: but being taught these things trom early childhood, they know no better. None ot us can torget the striking example ot Germany. The only way to remove these evils is through international understanding. Another enemy is racial prediudice. It would be impos- sible to have international understanding as long as racial prediudice presides. Recently there has been a great deal ot encouragement tor the prevention ot racial prejudice. Most ot the churches have expressed their teelings on the subiect, and many articles have been published on the subiect. Racial prediudice is one ot the easiest international mis- understandings to prevent, tor it originates in the home. It the parents ot the world would express no harsh teelings against other races, it would be impossible tor racial pre- iudice to exist. One ot the hinderances to the success ot international understanding is that there are so many ditterent languages. Many statesmen and humanitarians have recently considered and discussed this problem, but it would be almost impossi- ble to make any nation peaceably change its language. In overcoming this problem many ot the modern languages are ottered in the high schools and colleges ot today. In many countries in Europe it is quite common tor people to know two or more languages equally well. Since it is almost im- possible to change the nations ot the world over to one common Ianuage, it seems that the only solution is tor the peoples ot the different nations to learn several languages. Language is a very important problem in iternational un- derstanding. In the United Nations Organization an undrrstanding ot the policies ot the other nations is absolutely necessary. It all the nations ot this organization would agree and work to- gether peaceably, one could see that international under- standing was taking place, but trom the apparent situation there is still much to be done. In working tor international understanding, we must work tor the goal ot supressing the enemies ot such understanding, then acquaint the people ot our nation and those ot other nations with each other, so that they may know the habits, governments, and languages ot other nations. Many talks and speaches were given on 'foreign nations shortly atter the war, but they seem to have died down to a very tew re- cently. Talks on the 'Foreign nations are one ot the best ways to forward international understanding, and they should be encouraged. It would be very helptul it courses were ottered in schools to the ettect ot teaching international under- standing. Such courses could contain talks and pictures on the governments and customs ot toreign lands. The people are the greatest tactor in the advancement ot international understanding, tor without their desire tor such advancement it would be impossible. With a great amount ot work and the help ot God, this world can be a much better place in which to live. My Part in America's Future DORIS Many people do not stop to realize what it really means to a citizen ot the United States, to know, that not one, but every citizen has apart in America's Future. To me it means that I must work and really think seriously about it. It means I must do everything possible to secure the best tor my Amer- rca. In my way I might help a great deal. I should try to understand the problems ot racial ditterences. Every person whether Negro, white or Indian, has tree rights and a part to play in America's tuture. A Negro or Indian should be treated in all things the same as a white. We should have understanding and knowledge ot these people. I should obey and respect the law-and its workers in every way possible. I should never go against the laws ot my state: and I should try to understand why they make these laws, tor they make these laws only to protect me, my home, and my people. I should try to understand the ditterent religious beliefs. I should respect and have knowledge ot these beliets, the same as I have ot my own. I should take interest in politice and all the latest news events. Although I may not be old enough to vote, I should I05 SMITH encourage my mother and tather to vote tor the best man- not because he is from their party but because he is most capable ot taking the part as President ot our United States. I will study and understand the ditterent political parties and choose the ones I want to work tor. I should read the newspaper and really take intereset in what I read. I support and work tor my local newspaper in every way possible. Last, I should try to understand the many, many world problems ot today. I should not criticize the people in Europe and all over the world. I should try to understand the meaning ot war and try to help others to prevent such a terrible thing. I should support and encourage others to help the people in other countries who have been stricken by the last war. I should support local schools and churches and I should make my parents understand how important it is tor every person to have education and knowledge. I should take pride in my school, my church, and its leaders. It I abide by these things, I will have a big part in America's tuture. I will work and plan, to help, and secure the knowledge I must have to understand all these things. The Advoncemenf of lnrernorionol Understanding MARGARET DAMM Whaf will be our parf in fhe building of a beffer world-a world wifhouf sfrife or hardship, wifhouf pain or suffering? The world af presenf is in a crifical condifion. lfs fufure depends on fhe acfions of fhe members of fhe world foday-and we are among fhose members. Whaf shall we do fo make lomorrow bring fo all nafions fhe fhing so precious fo fhem-infernafional undersfanding? Sfriving for world peace, we are confronfed wifh various problems and beliefs which musf be conquered. The world is composed of sovereign nafion sfafes, conflicfing ideals, differenf concepfions of democracy. The fhreaf of fhe desfrucfion of an afomic war hovers over us. Whaf is 'lo be done fo puf fhe world baclc on ifs feef, fo sfraighfen ouf ifs dazed brain? Since fhe end of fhe lasf World War, infernafional un- dersfanding has advanced considerably. The Unifed Na- fions has pushed ahead, blazing fhe frail for undersfanding among all nafions. lf has seffled dispufes in Iran, Indo- nesia, Koran, and counfless ofher counfriesq if has accom- plished much fhrough economic and social organizafions, such as fhe lT1ferna+ion'al Ghildren's Emergency Fund, if .has organized specialized agencies, such as +he Food and Agri- culfure Organizafion, fhe Unifed Nafions Educafional, Sci- enfific and Culfural Organizafion, fhe World Healfh Or- ganizafion, and fhe Infernafional Refugee Organizafiong all for fhe beffermenf of fhe world, and all fowards one goal- world peace and undersfanding among nafions. Americon Freedom ROY ln fhese days of infamous dicfafors frying fo gain con- frol of fhe world, we in America are forfunafe enough fo be able fo fhe people fo faire for enioy cerfain righfs which are nof enjoyed by of ofher counfries. We are inclined, however, granfed some of fhese righfs. Affer all, fhaf is only nafural, since we do nof realize fo fhe full exfenf fhe discomforf and hard worlr our forefafhers wenf fhrough fo secure fhese righfs. Our besf lcnown righfs are fhe Four Freedoms: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Wanf. There are ofhers freedoms wifhouf which we Americans would be leading differenf lives. This may be noficed by observing how fhe people of some of fhe efher counfries are faring. One should falte special nofe of fhe facf fhaf af various fimes some of our righfs have influenced people in foreign counfries fo fake if upon fhemselves fo secure righfs for fhemselves. Alfhough one mighf say fhaf fhis has no bearing on our righfs, counfry, or fufure, if has. En- slaved people are always impressed by fhe righfs of a free people. If everybody has fhe same righfs fhen fhere is unify in fhe whole world. Then we Americans are loolred upon wifh respecf as a profofype of free people. Before fhe dream of world peace can be accomplished, numerous obsfacles musf be desfroyed. Disfrusf among nafions, nafions unwilling fo give up sovereign power, and fhe facf fhaf fhere is no infernafional law fhaf is coercive are absfacles which sfand in fhe way fo infernafional under- sfanding. Before peace can be universally esfablished, we musf realize fhaf fhere is a greaf deal of difference' befween nafional and infernafional securify. Confrary fo nafional laws, fhere is no infernafional governmenf for defermining acfs of aggression. no neufral parfies fo acf as arbifrafors, and and enfirely clifferenf sef of rules which govern nafions and fheir peoples. We need fo recognize fhis difference, and fo sfrive fo overcome if. There should be fwo main obiecfives in sfriving for worldwide undersfanding. The firsf is infernafional securify -polifically, economically, and socially. The second is uni- versal peace. There musf be a reaffirmafion of faifh in fhe fufure of our world. If may somefime seem fhaf fhe world plans for world peace and undersfanding are af a deadloclr -buf if is nof so bad a deadlock as if may seem-if is a deadloclr able fo be .brolcen by fhe longing desire for peace --a desire experienced by all fhe people of fhis earfh. We musl' give 'rhe vasf numbers who died during fhis lasf fer- rible war a worfhy purpose for doing so. We musf all worlr fogefher, worlc foward fhaf shinging goal of peace, brofher- hood, and undersfanding fhroughouf fhe world, fhaf fhose who gave fheir lives mighf nof have died in vain. - Now ond Forever MYERS Today our imporfani' freedom lies in our fype of go- vernmenf. Our democracy insures us of being able fo voice our opinion of The governrnenf. This means efficiency and honesfy, and fhaf means sfrong governmenf. We, fhe people, enioy cerfain personal righfs which we should respecf. Our universal suffrage foolc, many years fo be broughf abouf. ln foreign lands people somefime don'+ enioy fhis righf. Our free public schools are a privilege which we should falre advanrage of. Boys and girls in ofher counfries learn only whaf fhe governmenfs wanf fhem fo lmow. IF some ra- dical ideas should be presenfed in our schools, we do nof have fo believe fhem. The boys and girls of foday are fhe leaders and vofing cifizens of fomorrow. Whaf we learn foday will help us decide. In fhe fufure fhere is always fhe danger of losing our righfs: buf, if we people are really conscienfious, we won'f lef our freedoms slip fhrough our hands. If we wanf America fo be a slrong counfry in fhe fufure. we musf refain our presenf freedom. Free people are a unifed people, and in unify fhere is sfrengfh. IO6 sllllll. I07 Who Has the Right?
