GEQUMQWW WHO IS MY BROTHER? bl' Margaret Barry, DA, Class of '72 The first spirit on earth told us - we are all brothers and sisters. We tell each other this still and say we believe it. But what does it mean? Sure, we help our family and friends. We defend their ideas, share their joys and sorrows, encourage them and help them, And they do the same for us. But is this where it ends? What about the part of our family that we don't know? How can we help them? People our own age are strung out on drugs. Encourage them to seek help, don't abandon them. Classmates don't get the point as quickly as we do. Try to explain it: they might have to do the same for us someday. Kids outside the group are lonely. Bring them inside, include them in the plans. Elderly people feel forgotten. Carry that bag. Show them there're many years between us, but we can still be their friends. Some people are physically different. Be tolerant, try to figure them out. Young or old, rich or poor, black, yellow, white or red: We're all the same. We don't have to be overly generous and give all we have away. We don't have to be missionaries and give countless hours to humanity. All we have to give is a ready ear, a warm smile, an understanding nod or a pat on the back. Like the song said: He ain't heavyg He's my brother. And we don't have to look hard to find him. He's everywhere we turn. ...SHAW Jifmyfw

on ea, BROTHERHOOD by Ellen Prosser, Class of '72 Brotherhood is a form of love that people have for each other. It's something that all of us should share together. Everybody has love in their hearts, it's just a matter of get- ting it out and showing itl People just don't seem to understand how better off the world would be if everyone could show a little love and care for one another. We don't seem to realize that we're only causing each other pain, There are so many other problems in the world today, hate shouldn't be one of , x them. If people could only get together and try to work things out, - but some things take so long. There are some people that do care, who don't have time to hate. These people have found love and know what it means. 5,14-C774L--v S, I . t t y A f ' All over the world in thousands of countries, people are dying of malnutrition, disease, and war. These innocent people have , no one to turn to. They're all so helpless. Everyday, families wake up hungry, cold, sick, and afraid of being killed. Today, 7' xy the United States is starting organizations to help these needy Lf people, for instance, Vista Volunteers, Peace Corps, Hope, Care D Projects . . . etc. A while back one of my uncles joined Vista, a J he's still at it, and he loves it. I hope more people start to feel that way. Other people have started projects right here. Men and women are helping the handicapped, retarded children, and j sick people who need medication, money, and someone to take M 4 care of them. So many people have problems today, - slums, IQ? crime, poverty, etc. Maybe someday all people will learn to A '54 help others and themselves. K lf. x rmfffi-.-. , ' X The Vietnam War is a major problem of the world today. War hates people, and that's why so many have been killed by it. Sure I know what's going on and all, but it just doesn't make any sense to me at all. I can't understand why there is war now. Soldiers are taking drugs. They probably think that they're going to die anyway. Drugs just aren't the answer to anything, and neither is killing., Is it really that hard for us to love each other? If there were only one man on earth, there would be no war. It's kind of 4 funny when you think that man cannot survive aloneg people need people. So God gave us all each other. Yet why do we hate so much if we need each other so much? I'm not the only dreamer in x F this world who wants brotherhood. Maybe someday the world will live as one. 6 .. ,,- AIQ A ' X Aaah,
