Lincoln Code L-Loyalty I -Industry N-Neatness C-Courtesy O-Obedience L-Love N-Nobility -.,.0Q...- THE WASHINGTON BICENTENNIAL Since this year is the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Wfashington. we pause in our work to honor this great man. To everyone Wfashington stands for bravery, courtesy. love of country, and all those qual- ities for which our Lincoln code stands. VVashington, one of our greatest men, was a leader in the war which brought independence to our country, a great statesmanjand a notable example to his countrymen. It is difficult to write about NVashington. During the years that have elapsed since his time legends have grown around his name that make him seem a living monument of virtues. Sometimes we hear so much of his virtues that we forget that NVashington was a man with quite human qualities. Many of these qualities are such as to cause us in junior high school to revere him. NVashington was a young man, not much older than some of the pupils in our school, when he engaged in his First exploits. Historians tell us that he had all a young person's keen interest in adventure and zest for activity when he set forth to participate in the war against the French and the Indians. He had a young person's interest in sports and in physical activity. He was an expert horseman and hunter. The tradition that he climbed him up on the Natural Bridge in Virginia in order to carve his initials gives further evidence of his athletic prowess. VVashington had the daring of the pioneer. He left the old traditions of his people to lead his country through a revolution and the formation of a new nation. Vifashington valued his home and the sacredness of friendship. Many are the stories told of the strength of his friendships and his sturdy spirit of co- operation. One has only to remember Valley Forge to appreciate this. Thus, today, we are proud to honor this great Father of our country, because he was a great leader. a great general. and a great statesmang most of all, we honor him because of his great exaltation of the qualities which are best in the character of man. - 1932-i -- - A four
