Fear has been one of the Nazis' most effective weapons in WO1'ld Wal' ll. They conquered their own country mainly through the use of fear and learned, however, that man, who has struggled against fear in all forms for over six thousand years, cannot be easily subjugated even by death.

THE Goneneenceneent The sulnlner night has hung a few clear special stars To honor those who stand in unaccustoineal gray, Al nd rest their eyes on swiftly thronging cars, Ufhilc hrows and speeches wrinkle at delay. The last few chnchling scraps ofgay advice- A7 cap is straightened, grins are laid aside. The orchestra has played its chorus twice, Alnd now they come, with tassels swinging wide. Tall, still-awkward boys, with half-emlzarrassed sniilesj Other graver ones with steady treadj Poised young girls who gaze heyond the aisles And feel the1nsel'ves quite young, with lzappy dread. And standing there, the humbled parents find fl citizen, where once they hnew a child. Those things he's had so long upon his mind Come forth with clarity and freely styled. The other speeches come from other minds and hearts. Applause is given each reliefved young face. The principal and teachers do their partsg And each diploma quickly finds a place. The captains and the kings depart, The gowns go out the door, one girl is weeping. Friends shake hands or kiss-congratulations start, Friends smile at faces, hungry for their heeping. Tears and jokes and new hellos and old goodbyes- Uncle Peter has to catch his train. Teachers see strange fathers, the hright confusion dies- The soundless halls are 'very old again. -JOAN Gooms. 4129 I944
