Roger DeLorm Points Out Ideals
In ''The Case Of Youth,
Today
Hits age OF Greed,
Youth Must Place Emphasis On
Eternal Things, Commence
ment Audience Hears

The following address, "The Case
for Youth, Today" was delivered at
the graduation exercises Thursday
night at the Grange hall by Roger
DeLorm, valedictorian of the Mes
pelem high school senior class.
"The Case For Youth, Today"
Never before, in the history of the
world, has youth in such a large
number been called to pass through
such an ordeal together.
Youth, today, is beginning to
assert itself for a new idealism in
politics, industry, society and reli-
gion. To say that youth is meeting
on common plane and there is
unity OF youth in spirit, is not to
overlook the fact that there exists
between many of them, barriers of
prejudice and misunderstanding.
It is contemptuous that youth
should take this attitude but are
not wars fought by youths? We,
the youth of today, can see that
the elders Of the nation are plan
ming for another war. We, who have
no voice in the making of war will
be forced to fight it. 'The minds OF
the youth in England, France and
America were poisoned against
Germany by stories of cruelty and
destruction, by that country against
Belgium.
Sir Phillip Gibb, noted news
paper man during the war, por-
Jrayed the Allied leaders as cynical,
contemptuous gamblers in the lives
of youth.

work Of building up it's war machine,
