Sfl ■ Iftft Hello there, this is your subdeb reporter, bringing you the latest news of. the sub-debs. Well, perhaps, it’s not recent but Hl grant you it’s late. During one of our business meetings, at long last, we retched a decision. Yes, we had :it all planned in a short time, a moonlight hay-ride. We decided the weather would be just crisp enough for us to welcome the bon-fire, hot coffee, and wieners. Friday night, the 24th of October, in the darndest get-ups. you ever saw, the whole bunch met at the town hall, which included: B. Rene, Bob Owens, C. Cavell, B. Rogers, J. Williams, G. 2unos, J. Schoenewey, B. Cassady, N. Covell, C. Gresham, I. Sommers, Harmon Pritchard, M. Chapman, B. Kuykendall, C. Medenwald, D. Sommers, S. Gaddis, B. Genung, D. Etter, J. Meehan, M. Rcsner, J. Cherry, M. Renard, C. Smith, J. McDaniels, C. Sutphin, and fire extinguisher, Mrs. Covell. You remember I said moonlight? What moonlight? It rained! But who cared about a little rain, after all at least three of us escaped colds. * Well, we came back to Sharp’s for the wiener roast, and don’t think we didn’t have a good time. As the rain continued we took refuge in the barn, right in with the horses and cows, and all ended up in the hay loft Everyone was wet through but we had a super-time and you’ve got to admit it was original. Catherine Medenwald, Sub-Deb Reporter.

Tiaw relating that American soldiers in many foreign lands are calling for books on American history. They want to know what makes them different from people they see over there. A Better THIS article quoted a Country Pennsylvania buck private as saying, “Something in our history makes us different. Why aren’t we fought about it at school?” It » my sincere hope and belief that this soldier’s children will be fought more about it at school At least I hope we don’t have to wage a foreign war every quarter of a century so our sons can go see how comparatively poor other people are Our fighters have begun to realize that something goes on in America which encourages and promotes better living than people in foreign countries can enjoy. Farmers’ sons in the invasion can’t help but see that France, for example, has fertile soil, favorable seasems, and abundant crops but poor people There’s a reason. It’s a long story but an interesting one. 1 wish 1 might plead with every honest teacher to help keep the United States an oasis in this desert of human oppression An impersonal, objective, attitude is admirable up to a point. If. however. it forbids telling students that representative, constitutional government is better than dictatorship, or that Private Enterprise is better than communism, let’s tell the truth even if we have to be unorthodox.
