The TheOCrat

This is the great night to
which the class of AT has been
looking forward for the past
four years. We are happy to
have. you with us this evening
to share in our joys as you
have shared in our difficulties.
Most of us appreciate the per-
sonal interest that our teach
ers have taken in our progress.
All of us owe a debt of graft
tude to our parents for their
many sacrifices on our behalf
and for their love and encour-
agement. We hope that as you
listen to us, you will feel that
your contributions to our edu-
cation have been worth while.
Most of us who have watch
ed the Zee-Bees play basket
ball or football will surely
agree that there is no lack of
zeal, or enthusiasm in the stu
dent body of Zion-Benton High
School, especially for athletics.
Perhaps some here wonder
whether this Zeal is we'll
founded. What do our Zee
Bees get from athletics besides
fun?
In order to answer this ques-
ton, let us follow a Zion-Ben-
ton High School boy through
his four years of athletics. We
shall call him Joe Smith.
AS a Freshman, we see Joe
pretty much of an undevelop-
ed lad-hot tempered, indie
pendent, irresponsible, un-
friendly-what WE call a
Spoiled child" Then, decid-
ing to go out for basketball,
he talks to the coach about it.
In his minds eye he sees him
self the star of the team; but
it doesn't take long to get that
knocked out of him. His team
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-06-11

mates and his coach soon
teach him a lesson in humility.
Our Joe discovers that he isn't
going to be the star player
not for some time at least. At
first this realization discour-
ages him; however, he grad
ually learns that he is not the
only one who has gone through
this experience. We all have
a tough time in our first at
tempt at anything.
We watch Joe again in his
sophomore year. He has i'm
proved considerably. Let us be
honest. When Joe came into
Zion-Benton he had few
friends. He has learned in the
past year that friends mean a
great deal. He begins to think
of how he can improve him
self and by so doing make
more friends and have a more
enjoyable high school life.
In his Junior year Joe is on
the varsity team. There is
very decided difference in his
attitude toward the school and
toward himself. He is we'll
liked by his teammates and
fellow-classmates. The boy
you now see on the basketball
floor has not only learned how
to play the game! In his train
ing to become a player that
boy has undergone many trials
and tribulations. He has learn
ed that he alone cannot win
nor can any other single play
err. The team must cooperate
with each other all for the
same goal-Victory!
AS Senior Joe is one of our
star basketball players. He is
on the "first five" of our var
sity. Yes, the cooperation of
that ''first five" will bring the

UP to us to protect and estab-

keep America clean and de-
cent. Think Of the future gen
erations of people who will
live here. We want them to
share our pride in America.
But Americans today are
doing next to nothing to bet
ter our country. By this indif-
ferent attitude we become
guilty of worse sin-our neg
ligence. All we do is to COM
plain about the corruption, the
gambling dens, the drunkards,
the crimes-our negligence is
even worse than the evils
themselves.
Let us look at what our fore
fathers did about equally dis
tressing problems. If they
could see America today, they
would be shocked. They clean
ed up a thing if it was wrong.
They had a zeal for the right
way-the American way. They
left no stone unturned.
Look, for instance at the
Abolitionists in the Civil War.
They unselfishly did every
thing in their power to for
ward their cause and the cause
of democracy, not for them
selves, but for the sake of Am
erica. They wrote books, PAM
phlets and newspapers; they
organized an underground
railway; they gave their lives
fighting for their cause; and
they destroyed slavery. That
was but one instance, there
were whiskey and tax rebel
lions; there were embargoes;
there were stamp and sugar
revolts; and many others, not
to mention the Boston Tea Par
ty.
Those jealous reformers
demonstrated a true and ear
nest American spirit. The sad
part of this fact is that that
spirit has suffered a severe de-
cline. Today most of us go
about our lives and never lift
a hand to promote the cause
of reform in our land.
What has happened to us?
Have we as Americans given
in to loving these evils? Or is
it that we don't care. No, I
don't believe that. It is, per-
haps, pure laziness. We have
given up too soon.
America needs a reawaken-
ing. Who will bring it about?
The youth. The graduating
classes throughout America.
Today we are graduating; to-
morrow we shall be citizens
citizens of this America, our
country.
It is true that there are
many faults in America. There
is much need of improvement.
But the opportunity to i'm
prove is far greater than the
problems themselves. This
present crisis presents a chal-
lenge to us. The graduating
youth of America can and
must accept this challenge -
to protect and secure our AM
erica. And when we have solv-
ed our own problems, then
shall we be in a position to
fulfill the hope of the rest of
the world for security.

"HOPE FOR SECURITY"

address delivered by Sayre
Swartztrauber, Valedictorian
of the Glass of AT of the Zion
Benton Township High School
at the Commencement Exerci-
ses, June 9Th, in Zion Auditor
ium.)
A hope for security? Is
there any hope? Where is any
hope? In an age of wars, fam
inc, suffering, and death such
as ours can there be any hope?
Hope has almost disappeared
in many parts of the world.
But there is hope; we have a
hope to be proud of. The
whole world has the same
hope - a hope in America.
The peoples of the war-batter-
ed world are looking toward
us - we are in a situation to
help them. Yes, we are for
tunate nation - a nation to be
proud of. What sane citizen
of this great land isn't proud
to be an American? If I asked
for a show of hands of those
who were proud to be Ameri-
cans, no doubt every hand in
this audience would be raised,
except perhaps those of you
who may be sleeping. But of
course we are proud, we grad
yates, our parents, our rela-
tives, our friends, our city, and
about 40 million other people
in America. But haven't we
an inalienable right to have
such pride? Yes, indeed. Con-
slider what America has done
for us. She has provided us
with refuge during a horrible
war. We lived in luxury when
the rest of the world died, star
we'd and wept for sorrow.
Yes, we're proud, and thank
full too, for the men who died
to save the America of which
they too were so proud. Yes,
we're proud, proud of the
greatest land on earth. We're
proud of a magnificent consti-
tuition and a great democracy.
We're proud of booming indus
tries, which do away with pow
erty and want. We're proud of
the four freedoms, - yes, we
have much to be proud of. God
surely has seen fit to shower on
America manifold blessings.
This is why we are the hope
of the world. We Americans
have courage, strength, deter
mination, and an active inter-
est in world affairs. We could
use these characteristics to
bring to an end this turmoil
and unrest; we could promote
a peace on this earth. But
there is a specter which is
challenging these good inten-
tions.
It is a shame to say it, but
it remains a fact, there are
things in America of which no
one in his right mind could be
proud. You know it and I know
it: we must face it. We can't
be proud of the scandalous di-
vorce courts, the increasing
juvenile delinquency, t h e
deadly spread of communism,
the rotten and corrupt poll
tics throughout the country,
and tho thrn atnnino trand to

Columnist Insists Truman Approved
Pauley Appointment to High NAVY Post

certainly, Mr.. Pauley is not that.
I invite you, ladies and gentlemen,
to step in close and watch. What
we are witnessing Is a dexterous
move of the shells in the hands of
an expert, calculated to maintain
the public in crosseyed puzzlement
until the right shell can be raised,
at the right time, disclosing Mr..
Pauley as Assistant Secretary or
Under Secretary on his way up.
Hannegan For Pauley.
OF course, Postmaster General
Hannegan is for Mr.. Pauley. After
all, he owes him some return for
his frequent and lavish hospitality
on Coconut Island and elsewhere.
AS to the strange case of Mr.. Pauley
himself, 1t may well be that the Re-
publicans will be 50 foolish as to
confirm him if a nomination should
be sent to the Senate.
Politicians are likely to do queer
things, and there has been an al
most irresistible impulse on the part
Of the Republicans, since they cap
tured the Congress, to 60 to the
rescue of the Democrats, so that
neither party could have a clear
cut issue against the other, as
witness the assassination of price
control and CT housing, the admin
istration of the $3O0,00O,O0O for
Greece, etc. It is only fair to say
that in this regard the Democrats,
too, believe in reciprocity.
1t was even rumored some time
ago that, when Mr.. Pauley was
considered for Under Secretary OF
the Navy, some one high in the Re-
publican National Committee sent
word to certain Republican Sena-
tors that there were no party OBJ
jections to the confirmation Of Mr.
Pauley. So, on the basis of the
record, while anything may be ex-
pected of President Truman, it is
equally true that anything may be
expected of the Republicans. When
it comes to appointments, 1t is

back and I'll scratch yours.

Marvel of Antiquity.
You would have to make this trip
to believe it. The valley, where the
ascent is begun, is tropical. Oranges
and olives grow there, and tropical
birds, especially green parrots, fly
from bushes that are just as tropical
as anything I ever saw in the South
Pacific. Yet this valley is higher in
altitude than Denver, much higher.
Half way up the mountain, you
reach a temperate zone, and above
that are the towering snow-capped
peaks of the Andes, as Arctic as
anything Admiral Byrd ever saw.
The ruins themselves are a mar
vel Of antiquity. Using, as far as
man knows, no cutting instrument
sharper than that made Of copper,
the Indians built a magnificent
city, with stones cut better than
those of today. No binding material
was used. They were so cut that
not even a knife blade can be
forced between them even today,
after centuries Of erosion The mas
sive sun dial, which tops the ruins,
works just as accurately as any new
one in the States. Many Of the
stones weigh upward of so tons. How
did the Indians bring them up the
mountain? Answer that and you'll
make name for yourself.

reason for this choice of sites was
protection. No enemy could roll
down boulders, and the Inca's SEN
tinels could spot an advancing
enemy hours away.

more than at Cuzco, that the Inca

secret police, to wipe them out have
yielded little results. Clandestine
radios and newspapers are reporting
in detail the brawls before the
United Nations, and are informing
their readers-million of peasants,

Resistance in Balkans.
The execution of Serbia's war hero,
Gen. Draja Mihailovich, has not
furthered Marshal Tito's ambition
to reduce Yugoslavia to complete
slavery. The blow dealt to the Chet-
niks is severe, but shortly after Gen.
Mihailovicn's death many of his
lieutenants began organizing the
forces of resistance In Southern Ser
bia and Bosnia.
Their activities were hampered at
first because Of the lack Of any kind
of arms and certain apathy among
the peasantry. In recent months,
however, these men received some
support in the form of small arms
and tommy guns.
The disillusioned peasants, who
have suffered heavily from the
Yugoslav secret police and been
cruelty misled by Tito, are throwing
their lot with the Chetniks. These
guerrillas, whose number is esti-
mated at between 10000 and SO, 900,
are operating in small groups. They
attack isolated government forces
and are particularly active in blow
ing up bridges and railways. Their
activities in recent months have been
of some assistance to Greek govern
ment forces, for transportation of
Yugosiav military equipment to the
Greek border has been hampered.
The temperance of Gen. Mihail-
ovich's Chetniks is said to have had
some effect on the regular Yugoslav
forces, which had been led to believe
that execution of the Chetnik gen.
eral had put an end to their opera
tions. Some disgruntled soldiers are
reported to have deserted to the
guerrillas and joined in the fight
against Tito.
American observers do not put
much reliance in the ability of these
guerrillas to overthrow Tito's gov
ernment. But the revolutionary
movement is important because it
reveals a hitherto concealed trend
among the Yugoslav people.
CORRECTION-It was inadvert-
emily stated in this column yester-

from careless deletion of a modi-

an estimate, subject to question.
