SYMBOLIC FLAGS
By JOHN HILL
Two students were walking near Fraser Hall in the evening on their way back from their day's classes.
"Look at the top of Fraser Hall, at those flags . . . "
It was twilight, and quiet and peaceful with most of the campus empty.

"Yeah, what about them?"
"Oh nothing, really. I just noticed them, that's all. And think they look kind of pretty, I guess . . ."
Yeah, I guess they do."
"The American flag looks kind of good up there, like it belongs or something . . ."
His voice trailed of, and he was embarrassed at his own sincerity.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Have you
seen them at night, with the lights turned on?" The other paused before speaking
They look beautiful up there, especially at night," he finally said. The two friends smiled at the hesitation.
It's too bad it's not 'cool' to feel good because the American flag looks pretty to a person."
"I guess patriotism is supposed to be a corny word," said the other, with a smile.
People would feel patriotic fast if a hammer and sickle or something like that was what we had to fly," replied his friend.
The two friends paused to watch the wind blow the flag.
"It's funny," said one, after a few moments, "but right now I don't feel corny."
They slowly turned and walked home, the flags flying colorfully in the evening breeze.
