9' I H I 9' ' , '1,,, , K, H..---,-,,T,.4. ,,... a, FOREWARD We students are being educated in free public schools. We are learning new values of freedom. To make use of this education in such a way that our government, our church, and our homes are protected from the internal ravages of Naziism is our task. We must think democracy, talk democracy, teach democracy. For every challenge to our political system by a radical in our com- munity, we must secure two votes for a staunch defender of lib- erty. VVe must double our attack, for theirs is one of vicious pro- paganda in these troublesome times. We must renew our religi- ous fervor with a stronger allegiance to our God. We must renew our endeavor to make the ties of home more binding and perman- ent before we become nothing short of Nazi incubators. As American high school students, we should be willing to fight, not with bullets, because this is not declared warfare, but with our best weapon - education. America needs us to overthrow her worst enemy, anti-democratic propaganda. LET'S DO OUR PART.
