The young Greek was no hero—when the fighting became too hot he threw down his shield and staged and orderly one-man retreat out of the anger zone. Thus, strange as it seems, the national anthem of the United States, “The Star Spangled Ban ner” had its beginning in history. The young Greek was Anacreon. He lived, by reason of his discre tion, and became a famous poet, i He sang the praise of wine and love much to the liking of old King Polycrates of Samos, who invited the happy young bard to join his court. Most of Anacreon’s poems were lost; but the spirit of his works lived on and about two thousand years later a group of his devotees in Ijondon organizd the Anacreon Club, to perpetuate his memory. Somebody wrote a drinking** song for the club and called it ‘Anacreon I In Heaven.’ The tune is believed to j have been borrowd from a peasant folk song from Brittany and ware it heard, you would probably stand up and take off your hat. You would swear it to be ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ In a way you I would be right for the words that ! 'Francis Scott Key was inspired to , write while. on board a British battleship, on the night of Septern- ; jber 14, 1814, during the bombard- I rhent of Fort McHenry, w-ere s"t 1 to this tune of ‘Anacreon In II a ven.’ So it comes about that appar ently the national anthem of the ! United States is sung to a Fr.nch i tune which was popularized as an j '’’-■glish drinking song honoring a vieek poet. ____A Arithmetic 1. What is the definition for ad dition? 2.

They go with high hopteg and high courage, these young men and women who are bidding a final fare well to the sequestered peace and carefree Joyousness of school days. Naturally some disilluaionments awaits them, come disciplining in the school of hard knocks. That merely tempers the steel.
