Following are two of the themes: Who Are We? "Who are we? The beat generation, the shook45 generation, the lost generation. Sure, that's what you call us and a lot of other names too. Drop-outs, crazy teenagers, stupid kids. Statistics say the Russian students are way ahead of u§. "Well, wTi&re are you, a- _dults? Where are you when we need you? You knew that our high - school was overcrowded last year. You knew that the largest class of freshmen in the history of our .school would enter this year. We are so crowded in the hallways that we cannot get to our lockers to pick up books for the next class. "Maybe if we could breathe a little we wouldn't be so beat, so shook, so lost, so stupid. Maybe if we had room enough to get through halls, we might make our classes on time. Maybe if we had smaller classes in some class rooms we woudn't be so stupid. Maybe if we paid our teachers a little more, we'd have more old fashion, dedicated teachers to make us smart like you. "Sure, your taxes are going to go up, but what better way to spend your money than on the future of your country. Oh, that sounds pretty corny, doesn't it? So you're old and you've raised your kids, now let someone else do it. You won't be around to see what kind of a world we make anyway. The heck with your grandchildren. Why should you leave them a heritage juf.t because a great many men and women left you one? Our world is speeding.

"You let us down last year when you voted on the bond issue for a new big high school. Are you going to let us down again? "If you do, please be sure to keep on telling us who we are, what we are and why we are, because you good people of this town made us this way." "Lynnda Stuart" Vote Yea# "In the near future the bond for a new school will once again be voted on. This is the time for all voters to go to the polls and prove they mean it when they say to get a good education, study hard and follow the physical fitness program. These three points have been stressed by our country's leaders, the parents and most of the adult public. "Yet, when the time comes to vote, the people let things like, "My taxes will go us" or "The school isn't in my part of town" deny the youth of the community having the facilities to carry out these three points. How can the student receive the best education in an overcrowded classroom or with limited equipment. How is the student to study hard when, due to the conditions, he is forced to have study hall in the auditorium where it is hot and uncomfortable. Also, how is the school to operate the physical fitness program when there is only room for half the students. "The voters must certainly realize that the school district has grown considerably and that the school, like a container of water, can fill up to the brim, but no more. "When you go to the polls, voter, try not to think of yourself, but of the desperate situation now in effect at the high school and of your duty. Vote Yes!
