A LITTLE BOY POINTED UPWARD I AM in no frame of mind to whisper sweet nothings through the printed page to the Class of 1940. But I will weave for you a story out of the yarn of human experiences. March 12 was a funeral day. It marked the burial of all aspirations, desires, hopes and rewards tor the future. For several weeks there had been an air of mystery around the house. The members of the household showed the same signs of uneasiness that animals exhibit before a major catastrophe. luncheon the little boy asked, Daddy, where ai continued, What are you going to do?” This tn n his you going this afternoon?” He was told. Then he le was told a little, not much. Silence prevailed. Later, of the profoundest moments in life, he said, Daddy, this is home. This is the only I know. I have never lived any other place. But if you are going to leave, I am going with you. i work I can mow lawns. 1 won’t get that boat and outboard motor this summer. We don t have to a the movies as often as we do. There is just one show, though, I would like to see.” Father and son went to the movies that night and stayed out until twelve o clock which is a great t in the life of any eleven year old boy. And the father turned in the middle of the river and rowed back. I hope someday every one of you may have a son like him. -19-
