Youthful Builders...
Crossroads
News
-
By
Mr*. Milton Brown
For every ease of youthful, disorder-
ly conduct that makes the headlines,
there are probably 1,000 or 10,000 wor-
thy youth activities that are never men-
tioned. For the sake of balance and; per-
spective, a little more attention should
be given to builders rather than burners.
The Pulaski News of Pulaski, Wis-
consin, must have been inspired by this
thought when it devoted a large part of
a late issue to the work of Pulaski High
School students in preparing the local
high school for the 1971-72 school year.
The “News” prominently displayed pic-
tures showing students assembling new
tables and assisting in carpeting, panel-
ing, painting and waxing in preparation
for the opening day. In one picture, an
industrious student is painting a repre-
sentation of the school’s mascot on the
high school’s gym floor. The editor of
the Pulaski News succeeded magnificent-
ly in portraying a normal side of Ameri-
can life — a side that predominates in
most communities and provides a silent
denial to the common cry that America
is sick and falling apart.
