Students Should Become Aware Of National, World Problems an active movement recently to give the year There has 18 been to seem favor this school vote. students Most to olds a right high on have this the of problem, they arguments proposal. Regardless made one problem even more evident than ever. That problems is the indifference of the high school student to national and international news. Tests given on subjects of national and international news often receive scores of 20 to 52 percent. Students seem unable to discuss intelligently these subjects. This problem is very important because the situation of the world is such that we cannot afford to have unlearned people try to lead it. We cannot possibly try to compete with the despotic foreign powers without a complete knowledge of the international situation. Surely we must plan to be the leaders of tomorrow in the national and world affairs. The nation is also in need of well informed youth to be its future leaders and citizens. The need for intelligent voters will always be a problem. There is no real excuse for our lack of knowledge in this field, with communication at the high level of today. Most of our homes take two or more of the newspapers and have either radio or television. We all have time to read the news between the funnies and the spoprts page. The same is true for news on the radio and T.V. If we of the younger generation expect to be leaders of the world, we should make ourselves acquainted with the world we are to lead. With our chance to vote growing closer and closer, we should take advantage of our opportunities to learn of the important happenings in our nation. We should know and remember that an educated leadership is our greatest hope for success in national and inter- national affairs. Shown above are the students who will exhibit their work in the Little Louvre art exhibit. Industrial Art Students Win Top Honors at State Contest One of the finest departments found here at B. Y.
