I think all ot us should be proud to be an American. lt's part of our heritage as a unique kind of people -the melting pot of the world - what bothers me about this country is the lies and halt-truths in politics, the violence on our campuses, the cruel assassinations of prominent leaders, the crime rate, and the false faces that people hide behind. Some- times I get the feeling that I really don't know anybody - we all wear hard shells over a mixed-up inside. fNancy lVIcCartinJ I'm really happy to live in America because it's a strong country. It's a strong country, I think, because the people are able to express what they think. fBIaire Ross-Shannonj 278 Student Life

xg. like 9 1' L ,et 'X :N Iv' When you're a junior, there are seniors you can look upto, but when you're a senior, it seems like everyone has gone and left you. Uohn Robbinsj l'm happiest when people are considerate of others and of myself. iLissa lvlyhrej l'm really happy when I don't have any homework to do. CBob Readl l'm going to go to Rock Valley because I want to be a dental assistant. They offer good courses and work with a dentist at the same time, plus on the job drilling. CJodi Tuitej l'm not going to college, but l'm going to join VISTA. This way l'm helping someone and yet still learning. fNancy Neshiemb I like Guilford early in the morning but not in the afternoon. The whole day drags. CBecky Heflinj I like the open campus because you get a lot of freedom. You don't have to have a study hall. CRick Allenj I like Guilford but some of the teachers are bad. They talk a lot and are boring. You go through the same stuff every day. CSopho- more boyj Student Life 277

lf we're old enough to fight for our country I think we're old enough to vote for the man who will lead our country. CDave Solversonb I think the 18-year-old voting age is a good thing. After all at 18, you have both a good personal understanding of government and all the theories and information of various school govern- ment classes not far behind you. . CLynne Rudyb U18-yea r-olds had to get the vote , My eventually and l'm glad l'm in on it. - s CKaren Goodhopeb i N x .

CKatie Lilliej The U.S. is better than other countries because people are more willing to work to- gether. CPam Guthrieb Ever since l was little l've been prejudice toward the U.S. l suppose if l were living in the Soviet Union l'd like that too. You have a bet- ter feeling of nationalism in the country you live in - it's natural. CJohn Baeverstadj Student Life 279
