OUR CITIZENSHIP

We, who are born in the United States and automatically become citizens don't realize bow fortunate we are. We take our rights as a citizen for gra nted and dismiss the subject, but we should be working to become b~tter citizens.

Many people come to the Unit ed States from other countries; per­sons who want to be citizens of the United States . They have to wait a number of years and take many different kind of tests before th ey are r ecognized as citizens of the United States. Many of them become better citizens than we do because they have to prove they are worthy of the rights of a citizen before they receive them.

We should be ashamed of ourse lves! We students upon whom th e future depends, not caring what kind of citizens we are. What if your rights were taken away? Could you regain them? Sure you could! In that same way , we can become better citizens without such a disaster occuring. I've done enough ta:lking,1 now is the time for us to begin! Begin to be better citizens of our school and community; henceforth , of the United States and the world.

I DEMOCRACY IN PRACTICE I Good government in the home,

the chur ch, and the school boil down to the basic point practice of true democracy.

If at home you are willing to give and take and choose a middle of the road path you generally can avoid all unpleasantness that re­sult s from st ubbornness and re­fusal to be willing to see he ques ­tion fr om both sides.

In church you can practice the principl es of good government by being active in an organization in the church. The chlll"Ch always need s helpers to carry th e message of God to all even as your govern­ment needs train e <i and eager workers. ,

In the school you receive the basic part of your knowledge of your own city , county, state and national governments, but as I hav e said in previous articles, practical, working knowledge is available to all who desire to see the government in action. Y o u should regard all of your govern­ment training with a certain pride and you sho uld realize that you will be using this knowledge regard less of your activity and zeal in elec­tions. It is important that

know who is a candidate for office so that you know for which pro ­gram you are voting.

But looking at the other aspect of your school life, you are put to ­gether with many other students and teachers , all with different ideas how things should be run. This gives you the chance to use that give and take, which is really the basis of true democracy .

"AN ASSIGNMENT"

March , April, and May are . thr ee months in which to be gay .

For at this time you' re sure to say, "Smnm er's on it' s way."

Yes, l\Iarcb, April, and May a:·e months that are really fine.

That is, of course, unless you know a girl nam ed J oann Wine.

Now Jo-Jo is a nice girl, a rea l budding flower.

But you should see th e ass ignmen ts that she hands out for the Tower.

She ass igned to me a poem of Spring, ' twas nearly three weeks ago .

But how to write a poem of Sprin g is someth ing I don't know.

I starte d out. as you can see , by naming the months of Spring.

I could, of course, nam e trees or flowers or almost anyth ing.

For Spring , I feel, ha s everyth ing, and this you can't deny.

That Summer's coming now for sure, and Winter's passing by.

Of course, you co u 1 d say th at Autumn has this and th at ~ am but a fool,

But in Autumn we'r e just sta rtin g, instead of endin g, school.

I could write of th e beauti es of Springtim e, but I fear you would feel in disdain.

"Wher e in the world's the bea uty in all thi s blast ed rain?"

Since this is the last Tower printed - no more deadlin es to meet ,

I'll take this opportunity to say something to Jo - Jo that'::; sweet ( ?) .

Thanks for th e honor and privilege of working on th e staff.

Of course, you know, I should end now, but that would be a laugh .

Instead , I'll address this las t line to the featur e "Eds. " and "Ed."

I could say "Th anks a lot gir ls", but I'll just say "Drop Dead!!"

THOMAS L. THOMAS STARS AT CIVIC MUSIC

PROGRAM

Thomas L. Thomas, that versa­tile singing star of radio and stage, visited our auditorium on April 22. He rapidly drew the admira­tion of his audien ce by his cordial informality. His strong baritone voice was shown to be richer and fuller than on the radio. His con­cert choices were a rapid departure from his radio repartee. The light concert pieces combined with arias from famous operas made a well­balanced program. The fam ous Welch sing er devoted one section of his program to the more beloved Welch hymns.

His accompanist pres ented a splendid separate concert of Schu­man and was brought back for two encores, one being DeBussys' "Clair DeLune."

The genial concert master ac­cepted all autograph-seekers dur ­ing the intermission and here, too, he showed the same informality that he had on the stage.

Still "steading " it are Don Truex and Joan Goffeney, Jean Koenigs­hof and Bud Ruska, (Cen.) and Anne Ulrich and Jerry Ohlman.

What do Dick Le Mas and Delores Davis hav e so much to talk about in art class?

Harold Markward grew curly hair awf ully sud denly , didn 't he ? Who are you trying to impress Harold? Maril yn maybe????

How was th e fishing the oth er day Punky ? It seems that Jane Davis went too.

We hear that Joe Plott is inte:·­ested in a certain "Ruth" latel y.

Mary Ann Richards slumber par­ty turn ed out to be a pretty exciting event from latest sports.

A cute couple is composed of Jean Ingram and "Ju11y" Frash.

We hear that Jack Stauffer an cJ Mary Ann Earle enjoyed a movie a coup le of Sundays ago.

After the Prom quite a few of th e couples enjoyed a picnic. Some of them were : Myra Roberts and Jim Orrison, Katie Del ong and Oick Fohrer, Nancy Gradecki and Dew­ey Moore, Pat Bonnell and Nick Nichols, "Boo" Rupert and Fred Holycross, and Lynn Wright and Jeanette Jackson.

Lois Sefranka was given a bridal shower last Wednesday by some of her friends from Adams. She is to be married Jun e 6th to Wayne Ir­vin.

Chri .. stine Scott was a very happ y girl last ::\[onday. Jerome Perk ins was here to wa lk her to class.

One of Marilyn Lovelace's lat est interests is a trump et player from Dick Van's orchestra. He took her to hear Wayn e King las t Saturday.

We hea r that Dick DeMas was the lucky 011e to win $5 last month in aeJrawin g mad e by the B & B ranch from the names of the people who have been on hay rides duri ng the last month.
