If Freedom Fails" — The pos¬ sibility of Freedom Failing is in the sibility of Freedmo Failing is in the minds of many during these trying times in our nation's History. This was brought out by the great re¬ sponse from the students in the 7th and 8th grades in the Huntley Sch¬ ool when they wrote their entries for the American Essay contest sponsored by the Huntley American Legion Auxiliary. Our community can be proud that we have young citizens such as these Junior High Students who so freely express themselves as to what would happen if they should lose their freedoms. But ono would wonder what has happened to our high school stu¬ dents when only CNF. essay was en¬ tered from the grades 9 thru 12. Are they aware of what FREE¬ DOMS they have and what would happen if they lo.st them?
