DESPITE the fact that the CHS

Grant, he was elected school treas.

be possible that the power of the

case of questioning the power of
the man behind the press?

people unable to cast their ballot.

The other day | saw group of boys
carefully scanning 4 theatre poster.
The picture showed Il man in the act
of plunging dagger in the throat of
Il woman. The boys did not run or
scream. But their eyes were big and
the intensity of their faces showed
that the horror of the picture was not
lost upon them. Near by We're two
younger children playing together in
the gutter. Their faces were smeared
with the mud made by the dish water
running over the sidewalk. and the
children were amusing themselves
floating cigar stumps in the disgusting
pool.
Rciecting upon that sad sight there
came to mind other childhood scenes.
There stood out in memory little lake
that nestled among the hills where
Swcet-breathcd cattle browsed and
where the branches of great trees were
mirrored in crystal waters. There
were the boathouSc and the swimming
hole and the spring-board; ana there
were summer nights, too, when the
leaves were still and stars were bright
and the spirit of the child looked up in
silent wonder.

physical endurance. in the moral tests
