what ia, an, 66 HAT ls An American? -is a sixty-four dollar interrogation. An American is a million and one characters with a million and one characteristics melted into one swell fellow, and he's definitely hu- man. An American cherishes his freedom above all else. That's why today he is either plain HC. I. Joe with a wail of a wallop or Hfiosie, the Riveterw with a wail of a production record. Liberty is a top word in his vocabulary and when the Nazi hordes and the Japanese monkeys threatened this liberty you had a mad American who immediately set about to change his enemies' mind. An American likes nothing better than to shift for himself and when the world is Hhunky-dory instead of Htopsy-turvey he has a job that he really does up Mbrownn to earn the good old 'fdumaw to support the wife and children who are really tops, An American adjusts himself rapidly to every new obstacle, yet keeps that hearty old laugh. An American demands perfection in his associates, himself, and whatever he comes in contact with. That's why he moves at such an ungodly rate to keep abreast the world and to equal his high stand- ard of living. Yet, he slows his accelerated pace to enjoy nature, to find out what happened to '6Dick Tracy, take in a ball game or a movie, or listen to Jack Bennyis Hcornf' An American puts a great deal into life and enjoys doing sog he's doing a thousand things at once. An American is that million and one characters, yet, he's one in a mil- lion. He's independent and freedom loving, has his faults but his fine traits overrule. I can expostulate onthe subject for an indefinite period of time but its to no avail for you know what an American is and so do I, for we're both Americans and proud of it. -Norman Coe. 6
