Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1975 volume:

The 1975 Dragon presents “America the Beautiful - Where We Are” •‘O beautiful for spacious skies “For amber waves of grain “For purple mountain majesty ... A land of dignity “Above the fruited plains.” and blessed heritage ‘O beautiful for pilgrim feet . . . . . For those who have been dedicated since colo- nial times to freedom and progress. . . A thor for freedom across the w oughfare beat ilderness . . : here now to carry on the great American O beautiful are the joys of youth! Some joys are fleeting, we know, but some will be ours forever. It is beautiful where we are at all seasons Although we may not talk about it a lot. instilled deep within us is a love and concern for this greatest of nations of the earth. And we want to keep it beautiful and wholesome. V ‘America, America, God shed His grace on thee . . God has been good to America — but its great need today is renewed moral courage, a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. It is the one vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields so painfully to change. 10 . . And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!’ History will judge us and. as the years pass, we will ulti- mately judge ourselves on the extent to which we have used our gifts to enlighten and to enrich the lives of our fellow man. We say to each other, Give me your hand and your help, and we can together make and keep our nation strong.

Here are a few tips to use when comparing a civilian job with an Air Force enlistment. You should receive at least $307.20 starting sal- ary. This sum reflects take home pay after me- dical insurance is taken out. Also request regular promotions with pay raises for length of employ- ment. Request 30 days paid vacation per year starting with your first year. You should have low rate or free world travel privileges anytime on vacation. You must be able to continue your education with the company paying 75 per cent of the cost of learning. If you are selected for college, your tuition should be paid and your normal salary con- tinued. Ask for $300 worth of clothing and a monthly maintenance allowance, plus rations and housing al- lowance. Make sure the company has a swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course, library and movie theater for your use. Your employer should also provide unlimited sick leave with pay, and don’t forget, free dental care for you and free medical care for you and your family. The company should provide grocery, depart- ment, laundry, variety and other stores which re- duce your expenses up to 30 per cent. Make sure the retirement clause states that you may retire after 20 years at half pay. Call Sgt. Gerald Exman at 534-9270. or come by 1610 Brentwood Dr.. Pine Bluff. Ark.
