The co-editor of our school

I looked incredulously at

Oh, don't .get me wrong.
I've tried to write humorous

The curtain 'ripped in the

The curtain ripped in the

Almost twenty centuries in

rejoicing because it's khat:
the thing the countryy needed.and besides it will help
country's economy.
In America the people are
rejoicing because it's just
the thing the country needled
and besides it will help make
the country Queen of the
Universe.
In Canada I am rejoicing
because through one man's
death my opinion of people
has been fortified.
Wait a minute. What.is this
person trying to say? Is she
happy because a span died?
Who is this man anyway?
This man was quiet, per-
haps insignificant in a
crowd, a more gentle man
you will never know and
although he probably didn't
realize it, he had un-
knowingly reached out and
touched the hearts of many.
How do I know? I know
through the kindness and
thoughtfulness . expressed
when this man died.
It was unbelievable. I felt
like standing up arid yelling
"Hey, I never knew people
could feel for someone like
this anymore." I had, with a
sinking feeling, thought
everyone had turned 'into the
'now' individual, mixed up in
a crazy world where no one
knew what the world 'neigh-
bor' meant.
But I was wrong and I was
glad I was wrong. People do
care. Just when I had given
up on the human race one
man showed me that giving
up was wrong. One man
showed me that people still
love and stillcare.
Other countries may think
they are better because they
have moved the world with
earth shaking fervor. Well,
let them buff their nails on
their lapels, we know that it
doesn't take rockets or
future kings to make head-
lines. We `can sit quietly
knowing one man made the
headline in our hearts with
earth shaking reality re-
gaining our hope in'' the
human race.
Thanks Jack Kerr, .
