That force is known to us all to be the Spirit of ’76.” It is a SPIRIT OF LIBERTY and the knowledge that one man’s freedom is more important than anything else on earth. zs m It is the SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM of knowing that we can always make things better — of working only for the best, and expecting only the best. It is the SPIRIT OF FRONTIER — of not fearing to go where man has not reached. George W ashington Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton James Madison John Hancock 11 is the SPIRIT OF INDIVIDUALISM — acknowledging a birthright of opportunity and freedom drawn from the strength of our fathers. Indeed the SPIRIT OF ’76” was, and is, many things, each of which has been a building block of our national greatness. Our country grew' on that spirit and prospered on that spirit. When all else fails it is that spirit that will be there to guide us and keep us strong. • • un.t � , I, 10M. IMl tLU Ai'U � � f“ lv. __ __ DLSPOSF.U YOt'.NG MEN. WTHL NtW.MfcX,MUUI.
