Another Side Of The News By BOB GRAY, Sr. More than 2.7 million young men and women are graduating from our high schools this spring, many of them in the National Road Traveler reader area. Another 850 thousand are getting treasured diplomas Irom college. All now enter ft serious adult life of challenge, opportunity, responsibility and inevitable, sometimes painful change. Those of us who finished school si few or many years ago are often reminded of what education meant back then versus what it meant today.

As a student In the high schools and colleges of my dny, education was almost entirely SA effort by teachers to Instill prevailing customs, morality, philosophy, and overall tviatlng be- haviour patterns. Today and rightly so, education much more. Perhaps the greatest lesson of aU is to teach students to evaluate the past and present human behaviour but to Imagine ways of building a better, safer, and more meaningful future, for all mankind. Once again this year, In the past, it has been my privtledee to talk of grad- Milton Banquet The annual meeting of the Milton Alumni Association will feature a banquet at the Milton School auditorium at 6:30 p.m, Saturday, June 8.

One finds deep awareness among them of the role their generation must assume in a ralxed-up nation and world. It-eeemi incredible that we spend more than 50 billion dollars a year to teach our youngsters all the concepts and aspects of democwcy yet refuse to let them participate by vote in the great Issuee of our times before they are 21 years of age. If maturity means to be capable of give and take, to have courage of conviction, to be well informed, and ability to adjust to changing conditions then our 1968 graduate must be given a high grade, at least a majority of them. As one would Imagine, some- graduates are leaders, while oth' era are more comfortable as followers. In talking to the leader type youngsters, most do not appear reluctant to tackle the problems left them by our older generations.

They think' we have done very well indeed with scientific a.nd other material accomplishment, but In the areas which reflect our millions of crime, poverty, disease, war, racial strife, etc. we have not done so well. They are sure the status quo In the humanities must and can be changed for the better. Some of them told mje that our collective adult behaviour is often much like a plane with no pilot, that there seems no limit to the range of our confusion, that political parties for sure did not separate the good people from the bal. Despite this assessment not any one atudent advocated swinging the pendulum too far in either direction.

A bridge, even the strongest one, would collapse if it had to carry its all day load traffic at one time, so they support a steady, sensible, determined crusade for changes which seem to them mandatory and which our society can absorb. Despite all the black headlines about our American young people, we can be proud of our IMS graduate with but few exceptions. Among them are potential leaders of tomorrow, who have the courage, aptitude and to boldly face the before them and try hard to Improve our society. With the help of Ood they otter measure ot that theira, and teaMHtloM stiO waiting to be tan, may ttre la nation wwU without ktttfeoreM ttww knar.
