Students express their feelings about . . . by Barbara Sloan atriotism, what does it real- ly mean? Senior Carol Midyette ex- plains what patriotism means to her. “It is defined as a love for one’s country and a great devo- tion to its welfare. For me, patrio- tism is stimulated by the many freedoms we have. I am patriotic because I know there is no other nation where freedom and qual- ity are more often experienced. Choosing to vote for our govern- ment or helping the less fortunate is expressing patriotism.” John Bujnoski explains Patrio- tism as “the love of America. Not only the love of its natural beauty and vast bounty but also the air which permeats our nation in which freedom lives and all peo- ple can draw the breath of self- respect. It also means the desire to preserve the nation and its lega- cies at any cost.” Patriotism to Vince Taylor is “the love of the country and the support for it.” He feels that “ev- eryone can be a patriot, whether it be towards school, schoolwork or whatever they do best.” “Having strong faith in our country is essential to insure that it will expand to its full potential. I believe that all of us should pull together, forgetting our griev- ances, and find strength in each other and the country to make it indomitable. That is what patrio- tism stands for in America today,” quoted Jeff Becker. When John Thomas thinks about patriotism, “many things come to mind. Some people say patriotism does not exist in Amer- ica anymore. They’re wrong. Pa- triotism is just dormant in some people. It’s hidden behind a fa- cade of emotions. Patriotism is not just running around waving a flag. It is an inner feeling a person has towards his own country, an undying love for his homeland and the people who died for it. Pa- triotism is not bad-mouthing, but praising. Even more importantly, it is participating actively in the government. It’s telling the gov- ernment what you don’t like, not bad-mouthing everything to peo- ple who can’t do anything about it. Patriotism is voting even when you don’t like any of the candi- dates. Lastly, patriotism in Amer- ica is loving the country and do- ing everything in your power to make it a better place than ever.” Carrie Barber sums it up by say- ing, “Patriotism is important for the good of the country. Everyone should try to do his best in con- tributing to the country. T Red White and Blue S. Thomuft Wearing red and gray shows school spirit, which is a way of expressing patriotism for one ' s school. Donna (ohnson supports the Tornadoes by helping to keep their enthusiasm at a peak.
