Milestone 1949 by Hope College Library

Old (jlory Old Glory! Long may she wave O'er the la7id of the free and the home of the brave, Men fought for it; men died for it; Who isn't thrilled by the might and sight of it? There are many flags in many lands, There are flags of every hue, But there is no flag, however grand. Like our own "Red, White and Blue." She's up there — Old Glory — hoiv bright the stars stream! And the stripes like red signals of liberty gleam! And ive dare for her — living, or dream the last dream, 'Neath the flag of our country forever. So God bless our star-gemmed banner; Shake its folds out to the breeze. From church, from school, from house-top. O'er the city, over the seas. Paula Chaat

SUFFERING HUMANITY: The centuries p a s s , a n d still w e a r e sick at heart, for w e find the torn r o a d of life torturous a n d long. O u r b l e e d i n g h a n d s a r e outstretched to the youth of the world, a n d w e cry in d e s p a i r , O youth, h e a r us a n d h e l p us, w e a r e the o p p r e s s e d , the s t a r v i n g a n d the sick, a n d w e a r e d y i n g . . . But our voices a r e w e a k ; a n d our cries b u t e m p t y s o u n d s in the c l a m o r o u s confusion of life, our p l e a s hollow mockery?

comes with pain. W h a t c a n we, our w e a k b o d i e s torn a n d rent with suffering, d o to s a v e ourselves? W e must look to y o u for help, for you a r e blazing b e a c o n s in a s e a of misery. W h a t will y o u do? YOUTH: W e will b e c o m e doctors a n d scientists, n u r s e s a n d r e s e a r c h workers. W e will train our h a n d s to cut with the scalpel a n d s e w with the n e e d l e so that y o u m a y live. O u r l a b o r a t o r i e s will find w a y s to c u r e y o u with d r u g s a n d medicines a n d w e will close your w o u n d s with the soothing b a l m of c a r e a n d kindness. W e will b e c o m e h e a l e r s a n d you will b e h e a l e d , our hospitals will grow, a n d you will b e rested. The everlasting s e a r c h for health will continue, a n d the dim glow of our k n o w l e d g e shall flame into a brilliant blaze. Health a n d h a p p i n e s s a r e the instruments with which to c u r e your sickness, time the healer.

YOUTH: Suffering h u m a n i t y , your voices a r e ringing cries of c h a l l e n g e a n d the call to battle. Your p l e a s stir in our b r e a s t s the iron coura g e n e e d e d to fight the g r e a t fight of life. If w e yield to evil, if the b u r d e n of b e i n g our brother's k e e p e r is too great, then w e must all perish. Yield . . . never! Let us r a n g e our forces on the side of Kindness a n d Justice, a n d with the b a n n e r of brotherh o o d gallantly w a v i n g on high, storm the m u r k y m o a t of injustice, a n d the grim, g r a y b a t t l e m e n t s of evil.

THE STARVING: War's devastation a n d Nature's wrath h a v e w r e a k e d h a v o c in our lands. F a m i n e is rife, the soil is idle, a n d w e a r e starving. How w o u l d you h a v e us fill our s t o m a c h s a n d fatten our children so that they m a y live? Will y o u h a v e us till the soil w h e n our only crop is bitter tears, a n d stones?

THE OPPRESSED: If y o u w o u l d h e l p us, first lift from our s h o u l d e r s the cutting yoke of o p p r e s s i o n that h a s b e e n so cruelly forced u p o n us. A merciless b u r d e n c h a i n e d in p l a c e b y those w h o d o not recognize a n y w a y of life but their own. Those w h o do not submit to their iron-fisted d o m i n a t i o n a r e b l i n d e d b y w a r ' s r e d glare. C u n n i n g with the c u n n i n g of cruelty, these b u t c h e r s of men a n d slayers of ideals a r e d a n g e r o u s . How c a n you h o p e to stop their evil a d v a n c e ? W e w e r e w e a k a n d failed; will y o u too fail?

YOUTH: W e will s h a r e the w e a l t h of our l a n d with you, the golden w h e a t of our plains, the beef of our cattle, a n d the milk of h u m a n kindness. W e will t e a c h your men of the l a n d h o w to till the soil a n d r e a p h a r v e s t s of plenty. W e will b e c o m e agriculturists a n d farmers, r a n c h e r s a n d d a i r y men. W e will s h a r e our a r s e n a l of m a c h i n e s a n d b r a w n with which to d o your work. Your l a n d s shall g r o w g r e e n u n d e r the clear skies of h a p p i n e s s a n d the blazing sun of freedom. You shall p r o s p e r a n d once more your child r e n will l a u g h a n d sing.

YOUTH: W e will not fail! W e will s m a s h the b o n d s of hatred, a n d the s h a c k l e s of t y r a n n y which bind your f r e e d o m loving spirits. The stagg e r i n g b u r d e n of oppression will b e lifted from y o u r b o w e d backs, a n d y o u shall b e m a d e strong a n d straight a g a i n . W e will b e c o m e diplomats a n d p e a c e m a k e r s , statesmen a n d thinkers. W e will m a k e l a w s protecting our children's children. W e will b e p e a c e a b l e b u t firm, living a s w e w a n t to live. The e s s e n c e of d e m o c r a c y a n d freedom shall g o forth, flowing a c r o s s the world in a pulsating, e v e r w i d e n i n g current of love a n d b r o t h e r h o o d . W e will t e a c h t h r o u g h living, so that others m a y s e e h o w w e flourish a n d w o n d e r . . .

YOUTH: W h a t e a c h of us c a n do is not g r e a t in c o m p a r i s o n to the t r e m e n d o u s weight of your b u r d e n s . But, if w e free you from oppression, h e a l your g a p i n g w o u n d s , a n d feed your children, then you will b e strengthe n e d . You will s e e that there is yet hope, that w h a t w e d o is b u t a b e g i n n i n g , a p r o p h e c y of w h a t c a n b e if w e a n d others like us b a n d together in c o m m o n c a u s e , uniting in a n effort to e a s e your suffering. It is then, that the g o o d w e d o shall b e a s a giant tidal w a v e , w a s h i n g b e f o r e it all that is evil, s u r m o u n t i n g the grim, g r a y b a t ^ e m e n t s of famine, pestilence a n d war. This then, is our destiny . . .

THE SICK: Death's black cloak casts a constant s h a d o w over our lives, a n d the dim twilight d e e p e n s . O u r b o d i e s a r e w r a c k e d with fever, a n d w e writhe in the a g o n y that 53
