oURs IS THE ToRcH A pause here: Let's not rush into the future. Can we say we've toiled in vain as we look into the past? We know our irresponsible days are over, Those carefree days, we knew they could not last. Many thanks to those who've helped us, To our many teachers, who showed us the way. You can share our triumphant joy That is our experience today. We know, that patience was your guidance: Interest your most vivid trait, You've taught us to be loyal citizens And how we must cooperate. We are proud of our country And will help her all we can. Do not be afraid that we'll betray your trust. With assurance of victory, we'll win. There's no defeat in us! Some days will be cold and gloomy: This we realize. But we are ready to face that new life Of laughter, tears and sighs. We love Thee, our Homeland. A true Nation of the Free. Where else is one to be found, . Offering such a chance for you and me? O, World, can you see in us your future? Is it promising and fair? Clasping your hand, our steps quicken, With due seriousness, but no despair. Our hands hold the Torch-of-Liberty That lights the way - Assisted by her handmaidens, Responsibility and Duty. We pledge to these our faith today. Good deeds from this Torch will rain. And departing, we shall be able to smile Knowing that we have kept the Torch aflame. -Charlotte Wyant Poetess of '42

With the theme Ap- preciate the benents we enjoy under democracy dominating both speech and action. 'ADictatorship Week began on Monday, January nineteenth. The brown eyes, led by Dictator Sandy and Propaganda Minister Lofton, lorded it over the unfortunate creatures born with blue eyes. The despicable blue- eyed Juniors walked backward in the halls. drank only from the elementary fountains, and when caught breaking any rule: such as, speaking against the Dictator. were imprisoned in the cloak room. On Friday the brown-eyed Juniors showed that they appreciated the spirit of democratic living by giving the despised blue-eyed members, who had stood the test, an ice cream party. Everyone was relieved to return to the American way of living after his taste of dictator government. MLORIMER WALKER
