THE WAY T FEEL ABOUT EDWTlTION IN THE UNITED STATES Here in the United States we are given free education. vie don't appreciate it until it is too late. The average high school student has to be pushed or driven along. In most cases, there are few students who are excellent in all of their subjects. Most students have some outstanding characteristics or hidden talent which may take some time in coming out. In the United States we are given a chance to develop a foundation for a life’s knowledge in a few years if we want to. Many people say that the only reason the students go to high school is just to play snorts. That isn’t true because many of them don’t play sports at all. I feel that those who do take part in sports are learning while they are playing them. They are learning how to get along with other slayers. In many of the foreign countries students don’t have the privileges that we do in the United States. They don’t have as much chance to play sports. While in school they have harder lessons. They have to spend most of their time studying; therefore, I don’t think they are as happy as we are in the United States. Some of the foreign countries don’t have free education. If children aren’t given free education many won’t be able to go to school. Without education how ill they be able to understand things and teach their children things that are important for them to know. If they couldn’t afford to go to the school, chances are that they won’t be able to send their children to school either. Every country in the world should have free education. That is one big reason why the United States is one of the best countries in the world. Everyone is given equal chances in education. Every- one car get as much education as he wants if he will work for it. Thomas Henderson '54 EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Extracurricular activities are helpfull to all children of school age. Sports such as baseball and basketball help a person develop skills and learn how to cooperate with other people. They also help a person learn fair play. Plays and public speaking help a person to have confidence when speaking before a group or audience.. Whatever extracurricular activities a person decides to participate in, he is bound to meet other people and make new friends. I think extracurricular activities are as important as good ranks. Howard Emery '56

Awarded First Prize in the American Legion Essay Contest. AMERICANISM'S CHALLENGE TO TODAY'S WORLD America has changed. In the seventeen hundreds we chal- lenged England to grant us our freedom. Freedom was our goal. We put our heart and soul in the struggle and won. .Today we have issued another challenge, this time for worldwide peace. It has a resemblance to America's first challenge. We have set our goal and have the will to win. Two centuries have passed since our forefathers fought so gallantly for this country, and the freedom they won is still existing today. What will be found two centuries from today? We have our hopes that Americanism will be universal. Americanism is composed of all our American ideals. We know Americanism is essential throughout the world if all mankind is to be free and secure. It has oroven its worth in America. Our biggpst probl.em is to successfully challenge the world to adopt Americanism. We challenge all countries of the world to adopt Americanism so that they might be one harmonious being. But who accepts this challenge? Who dares to? Russia doesn't and neither does China nor any of the communistic satellites. A change from Communism to at Americanism would be a sign of defeat for them. Russia shudders at the thought. When- ever Americanism beckons to her people, Russia slyly covers up with the usual lies and vague promises. Is it any wonder we never reach first base when the ball is stolen on every pitch? Here is where the conflict begins. A machine doesn't work well with a defective part. Neither can Americanism easily succeed in today's world when we have such an obstacle as Communism to combat. We must not give up the ship, however. Only by challenging the world to adopt Americanism, can we ever hone to win a hot or cold war. It's a great task, but it isn't typical of Americans to shirk from it. It's a task that needs to be accomplished. We must pull together to make Americanism's challenge to today's world a universal success.
