loose oneself in the gray mass of humanity which surrounds us namelessly, facelessly and without expres- sion, to become one of the crowd, undistinguishable from any other member of that crowd, to live unevent- ful and secure in grey obscurity. No one will attack you there, no one will laugh at you, no one will talk about you - in fact no one will notice you, and rightly so, for you will not be worth noticing. There is only one thing wrong with this: each of us is ready to parrot phrases about our way of life , about our civilization, about democracy and culture and education . But did you stop to think where these ways and values originated? Were they born in an anonymous search for security, in a desire to conform -1 Look at the great names of Western Civilization - from the Greek Socrates to the Can- adian Sir John A. McDonald, from Columbus to Einstein, from the nameless pioneers who conquered and settled the wild frontiers of the New World to the nameless soldiers who fought and died defending the life their ancestors built. Did they seek security and conformity? And where would we, their descendants be, had they done so? Do we have the right to betray their bold search for a better future - ? It has been said, and I fully agree, that the adults of today have made a mess of things in this world. But time does not stand still. The teenager of today will be the adult of tomorrow, and when that tomorrow arrives, you shall have the awesome task of trying to rectify the mistakes of past generations. You are the future for which we work and fight and die, each in his own way. I said it is an awesome task, because it is a terrifying responsibility which you carry - towards yourself, towards your children, towards the human race, towards the very survival of civilization. Great responsibility implies great challenges, and great challenges demand great courage, new ideas, independant minds, strong men and women who are not afraid of exploring new frontiers or defending their principles regardless of what others may think. Such men and women are not born - they are made. They are made by the challenge of the time and by their courage to be individuals, by persistent training in ex- cellence to the utmost of their individual abilities (you will forgive me the plug, but this includes your work in school), by independant thinking and responsible actions. It involves the courage to do right not because of fear of punishment, but because of personal principles which stand above animal fear. It involves acting in a responsible manner regardless of what one ' s friends may thin ' .-, or say. Yes, it takes courage, it also takes convictions and a sense of personal dignity. No, it is not easy nor may it be pleasant at times. Yet surely if these qualities lack in you young people, humanity is lost. R. PIOXTKOVSKY When Glenn started to high school a worried Mrs. Miller paid the principal an anxious visit. Please tell the teachers not to be too severe with poor timid Glenn, she pleaded. He is such a nervous child and so easily frightened. If by chance, he ever should misbehave just swat the fellow sitting.next to him. Glenn will get the message! -S p? Poor Vaughan!
