Two The Union-Endicott Tiger Light Dark clouds have settled over many lands, Where ancient flags, beloved of old, are furled. On mountains, oceans, and on island sands. Today, the spears of ruthless war are hurled. Yet we have faith that some day war will cease: And so, while we await the dawn of peace. Let us light candles in a shadowed world.

The Union-Endicott Tiger Three Opportunity Lies In Education Opportunity lies in education for edu- cation enables one to recognize opportunity when it comes. It also creates the ability to make opportunity. The cause of education would be fur- thered if the term “compulsory’' were never applied. In the not too distant past, when a chance for schooling was some- thing to be sought and often only dreamed of, the educated man or woman was an object of envy. A grade school certificate was viewed with respect and a high school diploma was regarded with something akin to awe. Only a few attained the eminence of a college or university degree. Today young people are rushing through their formative years with the prospect of a lucrative job obscuring the means of obtaining it. High salaries in war work have induced too many to adopt a short-sighted view. Those who are planning to ignore the call to return to school in the fall are forgetting the years when jobs were hard to get and no em- ployer with an inviting offer would con- sider an applicant who had not completed a four year course in a secondary school. Those times will come again—but quickly. The government is joining local educators in urging both parents and pupils to con- sider these facts seriously. For June graduates advanced schooling is offered. These advantages are not only for the financially able. Those who are willing to work may make their own op- portunities to attend college. There are many jobs offered in the colleges them- selves—jobs that can be handled along with a regular schedule of classes. Some young people prefer to work for a period ( Continued on Page 21) Memorials For ages, man has constructed, inten- tionally or inadvertently, numerous monu- ments cherished by future generations. There will be monuments as long as there is man and life, since life produces the reasons for erecting them. Man builds memorials to commemorate forever the deeds and accomplishments of distin- guished men or to perpetuate in the minds of posterity the significance of specific oc- currences of wide acclaim. In today's world, one can find monu- ments dedicated to various ancient civiliza- tions. The Appian Way, peerless objects of sculpture and art, an aqueduct system in operation at the present time, the cata- combs, the gigantic Colosseum, and the establishment of a code of laws are all monuments to Roman ingenuity. Ancient Greek civilization also made great contributions to mankind. Fore- most is the founding of democratic govern- ment. The beauty of Greek architecture is symbolized by the Acropolis and Par- thenon. Its philosophies arc still studied today. The Phoenicians are remembered by their gift of our present alphabet while the sphinx and the royal tombs and pyramids are monuments to Egyptian engineering. In Mexico the Aztec Indians constructed temples of worship, which proclaim to the world the advancement of their builders. Throughout the pages of history, there have never been, and undoubtedly never will be, more powerful and significant memorials than those eternal memorials dedicated to Our Lord, Jesus Christ. The world, with all its complexities and mir- acles of nature, is a living monument to the Glory of God. Every Christian church, regardless of denomination, is an individu-
