Secretary. Orville Freeze. Carl R. Stucker. James Roark. Sophie Boyer. Treasurer. All six of our present Board members attended school at Ellsinore when they were children. Five members of the Board, were personally taught by our Superintendent, Mr. Kingen. All are now successful in their own chosen careers. These men, having a first-hand knowledge of the problems and peculiarities of our district and its needs, have brought capable leadership to our school system. These men. without exception, are highly regarded by the ranks of the working folk of Carter County, men who are also successes at every ideal which they carry from their richly diversified backgrounds for the benefit of the school district. There is a quality which each of these men possess which make them in- valuable, and that is the quality of unlimited giving. Giving of themselves. A school is more than buildings, it is the thoughts behind the buildings. Only when those thoughts are of the highest, only when the men who are in control are of the highest caliber, and have the students’ best interest at heart, can a school be successful.

He has expressed his interest in sports this past year as the Coach in the High School Athletics program.

Chris Black Sec Debbie Price Student Council German Club “I Am the Nation . . . ” I was bom on July 4, 1776. and the Declaration of Independence is my birth certificate. The bloodline of the world runs in my veins, because I offered freedom to the op- pressed. I am many things, and many people. I am the Na- tion. I am 200 million people, living souls and the ghosts of millions who have lived and died for me. I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere. I stood at Lex- ington and fired the shot heard around the world. I am Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry. I am John Paul Jones, the Green Mountain Boys and Davy Crockett. I am I ee and Grant, and Abe Lincoln. I remember the Alamo, the Maine and Pearl Harbor. W'hen Freedom called. I answered and stayed until it was over, over there. I left my heroic dead in Flanders Fields, on the Rock of Corregidor. and the Black steppes of Korea. I am the Brooklyn Bridge, the wheat lands of Kansas, the granite hills of Vermont, the potato fields of Wisconsin. I am the coalfields of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the fer- tile lands of the Mid-west. The Golden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor and the Merrimac. I am big! I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific, three million square miles throbbing with industry’. I am more than five million farms. I am forest, field, mountain, desert. I am quiet villages and cities that never sleep. You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his breadloaf under his arm. You can see Betsy Ross with her needle. You can see the lights of Christmas, and hear the strains of Auld Lang Syne as the calendar turns. I am Babe Ruth and the World Series. I am 169.000 schools and colleges, and 250.000 churches where my people worship God as they like best. I am a ballot dropping in a box. the roar of a crowd at the stadium, and the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to a congressman. I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster. I am Thomas Edison. Albert Einstein and Billy Graham. I am Horace Greeley. Will Rogers and the Wright Brothers. I am George Washington Carver, Daniel Webster and Jonas Salk. ™ 1 am Ix)ngfellow. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Walt Whit- man and Tom Paine. I am Phillip Brooks, Billy Sunday and Bishop Quayle. Yes. I am the Nation, and these are the things I am. I was conceived in Freedom and. God willing, in Freedom I will spend the rest of my days. May I possess always the integrity, the courage, and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom and a beacon of hope to the world. This is my wish, my goal, and my prayer on this my birthday, tw'o-hundred years after I was bom.

Thomas Paine 1 Captain John Paul Jones unfurled the first Stars and Stripes over the ocean when the young nation’s banner, containing thir- teen stare and thirteen stripes, was hoisted aboard the Ranger. 2J From the deck of the captured British vessel Serapis, Capt. Jones and his crew watched as the American man-of-war, Honhomme Richard, sank in victory. September 23, 1779. With the aid of friendly powers—namely France and Holland—and the leadership of commanders like Jones, the American fleet was able to effectively combat Britain’s naval supremacy in the colonies. 3 General John Stark led the colonial forces to victory at Ben- nington on August 11, 1777. The victory, along with an American triumph at Saratoga on October 12 of that year brought France to the colonies’ aid as an ally and was the turn- ing point of the war. 4 Outside of occupied Boston, colonial patriots organized themselves into a volunteer militia known as the Minutemen. On the eve of April 18. 1775, British troops numbering more than 800 were dispatched from Boston to seize colonial munitions stored at Concord. Forewarned. Paul Revere and others spread the alarm and the Redcoats were met by a deter- mined band of Minutemen at Lexington. It was here that the famous shot heard round the world” was fired. It is not known which side fired the first shot of that battle which marked the opening of outright hostilities and led to open war. 5 The surrender of British troops under the command of General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, brought an end to all-out fighting. A few scattered skirmishes continued for over a year. However, complications of negotia- tion with England delayed the signing of a peace treaty for nearly two years. Genial George Washington, commander of colonial forces, accepted the British surrender at Yorktown and later presented the captured British flags to the Congress. 4 5 “Stand Your Ground . . . If They Mean to Have a War, Let It Begin Here. ” Capt. John Parker 1 Capt. John Parker uttered those words as the colonial militia under his command prepared to meet the British troops at Lexington. Those words and the painting—Spirit of ‘76—exemplify the dedication and determination of the American patriota in their fight for independence. The colonies had organized to express their grievances in an effort to resolve the differences within the framework of the Empire. Several of the colonial legislatures had instructed their delegates to the Con- tinental Congress in Philadelphia to oppose any move toward in- dependence. The movement for independence was gaining strength and following the publication of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, which argued for colonial sovereignty, a resolution was adopted and a committee of five appointed to draft a declaration of independence. 2 General Washington, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of American forces by the Second Continental Congress, was a brilliant military strategist. It was his decision to take his Continentals across the Delaware River on Christmas night which resulted in the first ma- jor colonial victory. That victory at Trenton over Hessian mercenaries gave the ragged army renewed vigor. Supported chiefly through the printing of Continental currency, the colonial army also went through the personal fortunes of many American patriots—among them Washington, Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee and John Adams. These fortunes were donated to the cause of liberty—a cause supported by about one-third of the American population which was near 2,000,000. Another one-third remained loyal to the English crown and the remainder were apathetic. Despite many defeats, the colonies managed to keep an army in the field as a symbol of American resistance, to guarantee a negotiated rather than dictated peace. “ . . Give Me Liberty • or Give Me Death!” Patrick Henry 3 Following the victory at Yorktown. Washington refused the offer of his troops to become king and returned to Philadelphia to aid with the establishment of a permanent government for the new republic—a loose alliance of sovereign states held together by the Articles of Confederation. An envoy composed of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay was sent to negotiate with the British. It was not until 1783 that the peace agreement, known as the Treaty of Paris, was signed, guaranteeing the sovereignty of the United States of America. The Articles of Confederation, despite many weaknesses, served to un- ify the states until 1787 when a special convention was held at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to revise them. The meeting was attended by fifty-five of the most-prominent men of the day. Twenty- nine of the delegates representing a majority of the states met on May 25 and decided to draft an entirely new constitution rather than am- mend the Articles of Confederation. The meeting then became known as the Constitutional Convention. 4 The men who assembled for the Constitutional Convention were an illustrious group with nearly even� delegate a person of prominence in his home state. A large majority favored a strong central government. After four months of debate, on September 17, 1787, the new constitu- tion was completed. In a little more than four months, six states had ratified the new constitution. Despite the good beginning, the fight for ratification was bitter and it was not until September 13, 1788. that the necessary two-thirds majority of the states had approved the docu- ment and Congress could call for states to choose their electors and congressmen. Several of the states had ratified the constitution with the provision that it would be amended. Thus, as one of its first official acts under the new constitution, the Congress added the first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights. Washington was un- animously elected President and a new nation was launched on a course of democracy. r f “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 77ie wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. ” Emma Ixuarun (from The Seu- Colontu ) JR.
