— the new BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. TEEN Topics '~^IN NEW BERN TODAY MAiAAMA All vandalism Is senseless, whether it is committ^ with malice or as a not so funny prank. Each year throughout America, at High school prom and graduatim time, a few idiotic seniors paint their class numerals on buildings and landmarks. Because it is always difficult, and often impossible, to remove this paint, it remains as a lasting memorial to utter stupidity. Let’s suppose you belong to the Class of '73. Will you be proud or ashamed of this fact, long after graduation, when you pass a place that was per manently damaged by you or one of your classmates? What is there about destroying someone else’s property that gives the guilty party a sense of importance? Is this the sort of thing we can point to as proof our maturity?

Plumbing faculties suffer daUy damage during vacation months. Aside from spoiling scenic attractions for others, these acts necessitate cosUy repairs and restoration. Much of the money provided to maintain and improve these tourist at tractions has to be used for replacement. It is a known fact that many of the large forest fir^ in our country are deUberately set. Thousands of acres of timber, residences, and wUdlife are destroyed annually. In other instances, unauthorized campfires take a tremendous toll. I^en an area is posted against campflres, it isn’t done to spoU your fun. There was a good reason for ordering this restriction. People who are careless wiUi matches in the woods, or start a forest fire as a prank, should be forced to see terrified animals, wito their fur blazing, tiTing in vain to escape cremation. All vandals aren’t young people, but everyone who is, regarcDess of age, hasn’t grown up mentally. 'The urge to destroy is common among small chUdren, but what excuse can a teenager give for such behavior?

Through all this bloody fighting, Raymond carried a battered yet tuneful accordion, boosting the morale of other boys with songs of the day and the familiar favorites that Grandma used to sing. Perhaps no other accordion in all the world ever had an existence half so colorful. Reinforced with adhesive tape. Smith’s sturdy little squeeze- box kept bringing home-sick kids a little bit of home—o little hunk of America—through the medium of song. When he got back to Cherry Point, he still had the accwdion " with him. On nights that he ' could get leave, he would come I to New Bern and head for the USOclubon East Front street. There, the talented but unassuming musician played for hours on end. Most sleepless nights are unpleasant, but wakefulness in the wee small hours has its compensation when you’re remembering boys like John Teppe and Raymond Smith.
