Through the years the United States of America has come to mean something more to its millions of people than merely forty-eight states possessing a flag of red and white and blue. After nearly two centuries of colorful history, this country has become a home for people of all national- ities and all religious beliefs, but, most important of all, it is one which respects both nationalities and beliefs. It is herein that the strength of America lies, for it takes the culture, the intelligence, the customs, the heri- tage of many peoples and utilizes them to mold one people, one nation, which is undivided and strong under the blessings of freedom. A democracy, unlike a totalitarian government, recognizes the impor- tance of the individual citizen and protects by law his liberties. The citizen in turn has a double duty: So to discipline himself that he does not trespass on the liberty of others and to develop himself as an individual so that he may be a constructive part of government. Students in this high school are learning self-discipline by participating in student government and democratic classroom procedures. Studies are an encouragement toward self-improvement and individuality. All these factors are of the utmost importance to the well being of a nation, for unbiased education is the strongest guarantee for continued freedom and democracy.
