It is necessary-- to be almost a genius to make a good husband. Balzac ' Twelve years spent in acquiring a high school diploma should be rewarded with a time of joy and rejoicing rather than the stuffiness of today's graduation exercises. As you sit in the audience and see the row upon row of expressionless faces making up the graduating class one wonders just how much joy .the students themselves are getting out of what should be their OWN time of celebration. When the students first enter onto the stage there is a well hidden '.but definitesparkle in their eyesi This is in spite of the funeral dirge rhythm of marching. After a long two hours spent in controlling all signs of emotion and giving the audience back stare for stare most of the students evidence nothing but extreme boredom. Obviously the program is controlled by the school officials with themselves and their acceptance by the public as the predominant theme. They seem to want to show the parents what a wonderful bunch of robots they have made out of their children. Look how they sit there like young ladies and gentlemen and we have done it all. A school goes into an athletic contest with pep rallies, trained cheer-leader- s, and organized cheering. Ihtheschool enjoying the victory a nearly uncontrolled exuberance is allowed and somewhat encouraged. It would seem that after twelve years labor, the winning of a diploma would also be justification for a ceremony involving some evidence of celebration. It is difficult to follow five or six speeches having to do with the .importance of individuality and non-conform- ity and at the same time stare back at a hundred students with all their individuality removed and in complete conformity It is also interesting to note that the after ceremony remarks and attitude differ so widely between the students who actually did the graduating and the teachers in charge. The class comes piling out of the building, perspiring heavily from the archaic robes they have been wearing, making the typical remark of "Whew,-I'- glad to get out of there." Meanwhile, the school officials stand around accepting congratulations for what a beautiful program they had just produced. It would seem apropos to make graduation time a time of joy and laughter for the students rather than the same old cut and dried school official program.

I owe a man $25 I borrowed," . he told the judge, 'and he's leaving town for good today. I want to catch him before he gets to the train and pay him the money." "You're excused," the judge announced. "I don't want anybody on the jury who can lie like that." Hat Ptesidairthl Merle Riche There is only one president of the United States and to have his life endangered by traveling all over the world is indeed a sorry method of diplomacy. Yet, if we listen to the minority r a v 1 n g s and ran tings- - and keep him at home we put j . j l iL: unlikely to know that not one in . ten thousand of the welcoming mil ions would be able to pro-nounce his name, define his . nominal function, or even point to the United States on a map of the world. The show was the thing, the occasion for a holiday. And as the center-piec- e of the show Eisenhower does well enough and indeed better than most. There is that superbly uninhibited smile of his, theproductofa mind unclouded with thought." How do you like this evaluation? And from our ally? Is it true? Thousands in Brazil roar "VivaP to Ike, but in Buenos Aires 500 Peronists jeered and battled police at the approach of the Presidential car. In Chile extra guards were put on special alert as a plot on his life was ' rumored. In Uruguay police used tear gas and fire hoses on anti-Eisenho-demonstrators in an otherwise enthusiastic welcome. Yet, we are faced with the announcement that he's going to take another trip. Now that demonstrations against that trip are mounting in foreign lands, if he stays at home it means that we, the most powerful nation on earth, are afraid to send its president abroad to nations that have been rehabilitated and kept alive through our own largesse. What diplomacy! ourselves in the contradictory postion of being the most powerful nation on earth whose president dares not go abroad for fear ofhis life. It appears that American diplomats spend most of their time getting into and out of positions that weaken this country; What is gained by this display of Presidential charm? In the British publication Candour, A. K. Chesterton says ''The look of rapture on the Presidential face as he was wafted, through the streets of Ankara, Karachi and New Delhi must have made all but the most misanthropic glad that Eisenhower would be It will not be long before there will not be a single nation but what will be against us due to the eternal bungling of the so-call- ed ' experts. |
