The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1957-05-31

The worst prospect the graduate Of 1857
faces is that the world may become involv-
ed in an atomic war, which could almost
destroy our civilization as we know it.
However, we believe that chances today
are better than they have been in a number
Of years that such a war can be avoided in
the immediate future. SO the graduate of
1857 may be able to live a relatively long
life in a world not embroiled in an atomic
war.
If this be true, and the danger of world
wide atomic war is reduced, then the grad
uate of 1857 faces a brighter prospect than
the graduate Of any past year. He becomes
a working partner in the society of citizens
Of the United States at a time when our
country is the foremost power in the
world.
He is going to work in a country where
he population is steadily expanding,
where there are many business opportuni-
ties and where more and more individual
wealth is being accumulated. True, the
country may experience periods of rela-
tive prosperity and relative hard economic
times, but the long term prospect for the
United States economically = is excel
lent.

phase is hunger. Their diets call for view
fats and sweets and no second helpings.
For the first time in their lives they are
being made to diet. Most admit they never
could have achieved their personal victor
les until the training program forced it.
A doctors schedule determines h e
pounds each man will lose and also the day
Of graduation when the recruit will join
a regular training company. Most men lose
Is to 20 pounds in the three or four weeks
average stay.
Once reduced the Marine thus condition
ed will invariably watch his diet to hold his
trimmed Down figure.
The proper training of men in the serv-
ices often prepares them physically and
mentally better to serve their country in
civic as we'll as military life. The pleasant
story Of the Battle Of the Bulge at Par
ris Island might be remembered to offset
some Of the unpleasant news from that
base in the past. 1t must be remembered
that young men go into training with the
f~alntest idea of individual d~icipline and
orderly movement Of huge forces. The
spirit of the individual must bow to the
benefit Of the whole and cooperation and
coordination are necessary both by officers
and men to make a unit of the fighting
Marines. The Corps has an esprit de corps
recognized around the world. 1t has a rep
utatlon to protect, "a spirit to instill and a
function to perform.

Today's Opportunities

MILLIONS of American students are
about ready to graduate from high
schools and colleges. They are entering a
world which is somewhat confusing, and,
we believe, more confusing than that which
has faced graduates in many of the years
Of our recent past.
1t seems necessary. in these times, for
the graduates Of 1857 to bear in mind the
simple truth and basic principles which
have made our country great. First. the
story of Americas rise to power and riches
is one of a willingness to work, a love Of
freedom and independence and a faith in
God and religious freedom. These are the
qualities which have carried our nation
farther in the fields of science and prog
ress than any other nation in the history Of
the world.
And yet there are conflicting ideologies
today which challenge the American con
cept. The Communists, for example, be-
lieve neither in God, the willingness to
work and be rewarded for varying talents
and differing applications, nor do they be-
lieve in the democratic principles of midi
vidual liberty and enterprise, which we
hold dear.

Battle of the Bulge

Inherited Quarrels

AS Jacob and Esau grew up, the
hatred seemed to be all On one
side, Jacob may have despised his
brother. or feared him; but there
is no evidence that Jacob ever
hated Esau as Esau for a time
hated Jacob. 1t takes two to make
a quarrel, but only one to make a
hate Or is that quite true? The
roots OF hatred are not always in
the Halter: they may be in the n
who is hated, or they may not be IN
either one. Part Of the reason why
Jacob and Esau. though brothers,
were not brotherly, was not their
fault at all In their home, father
and mother were at odds. Isaac
their father and Rebekah their

Letters To Editor
Moose Club Provides
Teen Age Recreation

Editor. the Farmville Herald.
The Farmville Moose Lodge for
the past two years has been the
scene Of many happy experiences
that We students of Farmville High
School will remember for a long
time to come. The Lodge has pro-
vided for one Of the most necessary
phases of a successful community
proper recreation for its young
people.
Not only does the arrangement
furnish entertainment for the teen
ayers Of the immediate community
Of Farmville. but it also r the
students of the four other communi-
ties who attend the consolidated
high school.
The Moose Lodge has been at our
use just for the asking. When we
first started using the Lodge last
year, only two classes were given
the chance to attend the parties at
a time. About ten such class parties
were given. The first school-wide
party, a March Of Dimes benefit
sock hop" was given this year by
the Student Cooperative Associa-
ton. The sock hop was such a
huge success that practically every
organization in school began to
make plans for sponsoring sock
hops The enthusiasm spread from
club to club like wild-fire, and more
and more students began to attend
the parties.
We Of Farmvilie High School are
very grateful to the Moose Club for
giving us such a beautiful and COM
Portable place to have our parties.
Before the Moose Clubs generous
offer, We had very few school
sponsored parties because Of the
lack of proper facilities. The only
dances Of the year we're the formal
Junior-Senior Dance in the spring
and the formal or semi-formal Holt
day dances. The students had so
little chance for p%racticing their
dance techniques that when the big
formal dances came up. many
people lost out on the fun simply
because they did not know how to
dance. and a formal dance certainly
was not the place TO learn.
This year. when the big formal
dance was held at the Moose Club,
there were boys cutting fancy fig
'ires on the dance floor who two
wears Q said that they wouldn't
be caught dead on a dance floor.
We. the students Of Farmville
High School. are indebted to the
Farmville Moose Lodge and all that
us members have done for us. If
nothing else, We hope that the mem
bers feel a fine satisfaction from
their creation of a better under
standing between the adults and the
youth Of the community.
II the Moose Club had not taken
on another single project during its
entire existence. we feel that this
service to us, the teen-agers, would
make the club highly worthy Of its
being.
