Freedom
(The following is the text of
the first talk given by Mr. Dunn in
Hi-Y course.):
Freedom is something we have
always taken for granted. People
who live in the hills and moun
tains seldom see and appreciate
the beautiful scenery around them.
In Georgia, we are in the midst of
the peach blossom season. Visitors
to our state see them and appre
ciate them far more than the na
tives. We have always had them
and have taken them for granted
with little enjoyment and appre f
ciatlon. So it is with freedom. We
havenever known anything but
freedom. It is a right and privilege
that cost this generation no price.
It was handed to us on a .silver
platter. We have always spoken,
written, and worshiped without
fear from any source. But freedom
can be lost. Ask some of the stu
dents in high school who have
abused their school freedom if it
can be lost.
Like the children of Israel were
led by Moses from the Egyptian
bondage, so our forefathers led our
nation out from under restrictions
and restraints into a pure democ
racy, a land of freedom.
Today our freedom is in danger
from within and without. Unless

Last September a group of very
dignified and superior-feeling in
dividuals, numbering more than
forty, enrolled for their last year at
B. H. S. (so they hope).
It was with enormous pride that
they were able to march casually
into the auditorium and take those
long-coveted seats at the right of
the center section—for these seats
are reserved for a special group,
those who bear the title of Seniors
those who have proved themselves
to be "the fittest in the struggle."
That "first-day" dignity didn't
last long, however. It was soon lost
in a labyrinth of English literature
under Mrs. Chambers — Chaucer,
Milton, and Dickens, and yes,
Shakespeare. Quito a lot of other
things demanded our attention,
and so our dignity was forgotten in
the rush.
If we would like a rather typh
cal picture of the Seniors, let
look in on them some morning be
fore school and see what goes on.
There in the back of the room
is a meeting of the Latin class,
frantically mumbling words thal
soundrat her cranky to an outsid
er. Upon investigating we learn
that they have a vocabulary review
first period and those are principal
parts.
From the chatter going on all
over the room we can distinguish
such as the following:
“What'd you make on your work
book yesterday? I made 8;” “Guess
what! I got another letter from
Southern Business College.” “Gosh
I owe 50c dues!” "Have you got
your home project?" “I bet we have
a test in Sociology today." "When
are we goin' to decide about our
class play?" “Who knows how to
work trigonometry?" “Gee, I had
the best time at the dance Friday
night." “What's your speed in Typ
ing?" “Wonder if I'll get a yellow
slip?”

Bulletins come weekly. They are
concise but interesting and jammed
with things that we should know

the better off we will be. It is en
couraging to see how cheerfully
the British are doing without count
less things and insisting on the
imposition of greater hardships.
