Now, there remains a sign.
The new entrance will join our
present road near the first bend
in the road, some 2,000 feet from
the highway. Also under consider

The proposed new entrance to
Highacres will run right across
the old Highacres parking lot, the
use of which was discontinued
after the Fall Term in 1963. This
is what necessitated the building
of our present lot for parking.

Churchill Is Interred
At Site of Birthplace
Recently, the whole world was
grieved at the loss of Sir Winston
Churchill. A prominent statesman
in world politics, Churchill lin
gered for over a week before his
death after being stricken by a
heart attack. Churchill’s body was
brought from his home at Hyde
Park Gate to Westminster. There,
the body of Britain’s 90-year-old
man of the century lay in state
among the grandeur of ancient
Westminster Hall, the first com
moner to be in state there this
century. Churchill’s body lay in a
closed coffin on a high black
draped catafalque a few steps
from the House of Commons
where he made his fame. The cof
fin lay there until his state
funeral in St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Five sovereigns attended the
funeral service, where the British

traditionally take leave of their
heroes. They were Queen Eliz
abeth 11, who attended with Prince
Philip and other members of the
British royal family, King Beaud
own of the Belgians, King Olav
of Norway, King Frederik of Den
mark, and King Constantine of
Greece. President De Gaulle of
France and Former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower also at
tended. Due to his present heavy
cold and sore throat President
Johnson decided against attend
ing.
Churchill was buried with his
forebears at Bladon, in a tiny Ox
fordshire county churchyard with
in sight of Blenheim, the great
house in which he was born. The
village was sealed off during the
interment, which Lady Churchill
asked should be private. Only
family members attended.
Sir Winston Churchill will be
remembered as the man who in
spired the British to fight when
they had lost hope in World War
11.
His career stretched from Vic
torian times to the second Eliz
abethan era. He served under six
monarchs Queen Victoria, King
Edward VII, King George V, King
Edward VIII, King George VI, and
Queen Elizabeth.
Churchill fought on India’s
Northwest Frintier in 1897, in the
Nile 'in 1898, was a correspondent
in the Boer War of 1899-1900,
where he was captured by the
Boers and escaped and fought
again on the Western Front in
France in late 1915-16.
In World War 11, Churchill
reached his peak in inspiring
Britain to its “finest hour.” With
British and French armies being
pressed hard by Hitler’s army, he
became prime minister May 10,
1940, with a declaration that he
had nothing to offer but “blood,
toil, tears and sweat.”
When France capitulated and
Britain stood alone, short of arms
and in danger of invasion, he rose
in the House of Commons and de
livered a ringing challenge to Hit
ler:
“We shall defend an island
whatever the cost may be. We
shall fight on the beaches, we shall
fight on the landing grounds, we
shall fight in the fields, and in the
streets, and we shall fight in the
hills. We shall never surrender.”
