They tell of the lines they stand in to receive their issue of clothing, weapons, and for medical inspection. Finally, they line up to receive their discharge papers. This is the typical way in which the members of large groups are insured fair treatment. The rule of first come, first served,', is followed in an orderly way. In our dear land where the precious freedoms are con- stitutionally protected, we still line upn for important things. The interested citizens of today line up to cast their ballots. The choice of leaders and the solution of each question that confronts us in government, business, and social or- ganizations are settled in this democratic way. We line up for worthy causes that prove our social maturity in behalf of charity, world brotherhood, and love for our Creator within our religious groups. It saddens us to learn of the bread lines, the dole lines, and the lines of beggars that are found in many parts of our world in spite of our Marshall plan and other missionary enterprises. We may well resolve that the intent of our founding fathers in establishing our free government, our free reli- gion, our free schools, and our free press for freedom may not only be safeguarded for our day and our nation but, through our efforts in co-operating with constructive forces throughout the world, it may also be secured for all men everywhere. GEORGE PGWELL Written lines, spoken lines, unwritten and un- spoken lines encompass our heritage and our destiny. Literature presents the thoughts of great men and women and points to the possibilities of life at its best. History records man's successes and failures on his journey through the ages. Science discovers laws made in the beginning , it neither creates nor de- stroys but transforms energy for man's use. Mathe- matics gives accuracy to scientific measurements and validity to their interpretation and application. Art and music enter the realm of universal values. Writ- ten lines preserve information of the past and present, and provide a glimpse into the future. During World War II, Churchill's spoken lines of loyalty, sacrifice, and determination prevented the collapse of England and preserved freedom for his countrymen. Truly our American way of life has been determined by the spoken lines of great leaders like Wfashington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson. The destiny of the earth is yet to be determined. Decisions are to be made. Unspoken lines are yet to be spoken and heard. Unwritten lines are yet to be writ- ten and read. This, Seniors, is your opportunity, your responsibility, your challenge. Sincerely yours, HARRY R. MCMILLAN ' N, MR. Gl2ORGli Poxviirr, lfffff'-Pl'fl1l'fI?cIf
