Mr. & Mrs. Harry Carroll and Mr. & Mrs. Heber Davis, Saint- sbury were Saturday visitors The masses have spoken, but what of the after-effects? The winner's only problem is, of course, suppressing an inflated ego into humility. Certainly there is overall relief, but for the "losers" (who form the majority), there can only be hidden feelings of depression, failure, jealousy, rejection and sadness, Yet such feelings should not ideally be warranted because the aim of the whole business has supposedly, or at least should have been honour for all the worthy contestants, But because the process has been distorted and turned into an entertaining and belittling piece of sensationalism, the contestants have been vic- tims of a corrupted "system." I do not wish to be a senseless destroyer of school spirit and tradition (as I am sure some people will label me after reading this article) but on the contrary, a concerned member of this school. I am not just criticizing the principle of "queenism" for the sake of exercising my pen, but rather because I feel it is a vital and serious issue of ethics (if you will permit me to use the word) with which we should be concerned. For these reasons, I urge you all to examine, as best you can, the campaign, Look at the people involved, the campaign methods used by the candidates, and the methods of selection that have been employed this week. Then, decide for yourself whether or not you, with your limited knowledge of the contestants, can accept the grave responsibility and prin- ciple of selecting a "queen", the "greatest" among us. Whether or not you personally face the serious nature of this choice is your responsibility alone, but the the moment your pen touches that ballot you are giving your approval and committing yourself, consciously or "un- consciously," to the idea of "queenism." If you find objection, one of the most effective methods of showing your disapproval would be to boycott the elections, But don't waste your vote. Write your reason for disapproval on the ballot and cast your opinion. Make your voice count. Make sure that the people at the top get the message. I speak also to you candidates. If you find this custom personally degrading as a woman and as a person, withdraw from the "race." Does it matter if the school acknowledges or doesn't acknowledge your "con- tributi.ons?" Isn't the most im- portant thing that you yourself know what you have done for S.H.D.H.S. has been freely-given and unselfish? If this is true, you already have an inner feeling of genuine and personal ac- complishment and self-worth. What more really means anything? Why be put on display like a prize dog (a heroine- martyr) to amuse people in an "exciting" exhibition and con- test. We could have a formal without going through the cut- throat process of selecting a "queen." Everyone has something of "worth" to give the world. It is his/her duty to share this gift (great or small) with society. Don't sacrifice yourself into being pointed out as the "special" person, You will soon feel like an "icky" freak if you do. You will be changed (at least in the eyes of others) and not for the better. Don't let yourself be caught up in this madness. You will wonder afterwards why you did it. Be honest with yourself as a person. In closing I would simply like to say that I hope this year's queen campaign has not proven itself to be distorted as can easily become the case. If you have found such to be true or you object to the principle of "queenism" let your feelings be known tomorrow morning. The responsibility is yours.
