History Repeats Itself
Revolutionary war is being fought
right here in our own little village.
Yep: IVasliingbon repeats his courage
ous stand of 1778; Patrick Henry re
news his challenge for liberty; Paul
Revere makes his daring venture of
lT7o. American patriots again defend
their famous Bunker Hill: John Brown
takes to the trail; and Indians let out
their blood-thirsty cries of olden days!
Old Greensburghers, resting in tlieir
eternal bods, turn over and over in
their graves. “My!” you can hear
them say, “have our j’oung folks gone
stark mad?”
N’o, they aren’t mad—at least, not
yet. For until the wee hours of the
night They toil, renewing America’s
colorful and adventurous days of the
pa.st.
The reason: term papers!!
