The Unlost Generation

An article in February Harper's
Bazaar has been the most thought
provoking thing I've read for a
long time. It's about our Ameri-
can young people who were born
in the thirties. And like their par
ents who have been labeled most
anything that meant wild" such as
the Lost Generation" the Roar
ing Twenties," etc, these young
people are so staid and correct and
pure that their parents, now in
their fifties, are all but frustrated
because they can't give out any
warning. They can't even tell about
their own youth without these wise
old twenties looking them over and
sometimes uttering How awful"
or even worse, how stupid"
Edward Steichen, the great
photographer, observed not long
ago that the U. S. lis suffering
from shortage of youngness of
youth"
The quest for security takes
precedence over ambition and self
expression, SO observes Carolyn
Bird, the author of the article
Why they seem so unambitious,
over adjusted and apathetic is that
they are on the receiving end of
new techniqucs for the mass hand
ling of people. They are among
the first public school pupils taught
to adjust to the group Later
they were the first soldiers trained
to voluntary cooperation" Finally
when they applied for a job they
quickly discovered that the inter
view was more concerned with
their ability to work with others
than to do the work
ITO live in the Pentagon or in
a big corporation one must walk
on eggs, and that is something new
in America"
Nevertheless the 1880 generation
is managing it by and large with
out a murmur, and frequently with
a smile. Why have they submitted
so tamely to this loss of individu-
ality and independence? The an
swer-it does not seem unnatural
to have regulated lives. From
nursery school to executive train
ing squad, to housing project, they
have been trained to conformity.
They reject the about struggle
for success. Individual businesses
arc tagging because they would
rather be employed by company
which will take the responsibility.
Money is merely bookkeeping
device handled by the women. Ac-
cording to Margaret Mead those
activities allocated to women have
less value. The ''unlosts' prefer
to keep DOWN to the Jones.
Their attitude about love- mar
riage and a family is completely
mature and is far superior to that
of the lost generation. They want
good marriages above all else.
There is much about their atti-
tudc. as | work with groups of
them, that seem so Christian and
peace loving even though I'll have
to admit that somehow they lack
spirit.
But this too, will pass. | do not

A Glimpse Into Norway


Miss Hagan, the tall blonde with
an abundance of natural beauty
gave us of A. A U. w, an inter
esting picture of family life, among
other things, in her country.
The child is kept at home until
seven. There seems to be no out
side influence Somewhere between
that age and the teens the child
learns complete self control. To
such an extent that to our teen
ayers they would appear clear be-
yond bounds. These boys and girls
even go on camping trips without
adult supervision.
She thinks the girls at w. V. U.
are so protected. Girls in her coun-
try are expected to go to Paris or
England for a year-money for
travel provided by family-but
they must make their own way
That's to prove to themselves and
the family that they are self suffi
cient.
Because of their economy and
housing they don't go steady" or
even think of marriage until the
middle twenties. Boys and girls go

Mrs. L. w. ThompSon'S third
grade class are very happy to
thank Mrs. Sanford for the inter-
eSting stories that she has read
to them during the first semester.
Her stories about seed and plants
motivated the class into wanting
to plant garden in the class
room so they could actually see
the seeds sprout and grow. The
committee was so excited over the
idea that they made all prepara-
tons for the garden. Mrs. Thomp-
on's class is always happy to see
Mrs. Sanford, our librarian, come
in to read to them, for they are
assured of some very pleasant
moments of peaceful listening as
she reads in a moderate and pleas

POINCIANA PARK ELEM.

We have been fortunate to have
a small organization Of parents
who have been helpful with the
program of the school. This or
ganization is the Day Parents
Club. The members are parents
who take time out during the day
to help us at the school.
Some parents who are not yet
members might say to themselves
'NWhat can l do?" There are nu-
merous things that the president,
Mrs. Mable Reid will be delight
cd to tell you. For example, the
other day, Mrs. Ruth Williams was
a chaperone on a field trip. This
is one way you parents may help.
How proud your children e
when you show such an interest
in them. The meeting of this
group is the first Friday of each
month.
In a continuing effort to i'm
prove our school, we are n w
working on the attendance prob
lem. The parents of children who
are habitual abgentees have been
conferred with. However, it re-
quested that all parents think
long and hard before keeping
children out of school. We are
watching for continued improve
ment in attendance reports.
The Father and Son Banquet
Is planned for Feb. 8 in the cafe
forum. All fathers are invited to
attend this activity sponsored by
the Boy Scouts of our school.
The children in Mrs. Dorothy
Gray'S fifth grade were respon-
sible for the morning devotion
during Thrift Week. Each day we
learned some interesting facts
about Benjamin Franklin in hon.
or Of his birthday which occurr-
ed during the week. The pupils
became so enthusiastic that they
composed an original song about
the famous man. Harold billiard,
John Brown and Gloria Jean
Bivens were the pupils respon-
sible for composing the song.
A recent visitor to our school
was in the person Of Mr.. r..
Campbell, a manufacturer of jew
erly, with offices in New Y Or k.
In touring the building, and by
visiting high school in our area,
Mr.. Campbell got capsule view
of our public schools. From all
appearances, his visit here was
quite pleasant.
