XVho3 We? We re all happs sat1sf1ed people w1th happy famxhes Thus we shrug off h1s statement but our frlend 15 more msnstent and saws Yes we all seem happy but do we really lexd happy l1ves7 Or IS this just a sea of confuslon where we Ire floundermg about like drxftwoodg We lack the abnhty to value our lntanglble propertles We naed1tate on our frxtnd s word and then vsonder 1f what he says holds true Do vue really apprtclate the llbertxes for whlch our fathe1s fought tvso hundred years ago? Do we fully cherlsh freedom of relnglon speech and press? Do we xalue freedom from fur? Let us stop to thmk a moment Are vw. tlkmg for granted the rnghts for whnch our ancestors fought and dxed that we the1r chrldren m1ght prosper? Or ar we become worshlpper of 1dols of greed and wealth selfxshness and prnde9 One mav thmk thlt thus fanlmg applled only to Romans who at flrst cherlshed hum1lnty peace and democracy but who later be c1mc greedy for land and wealth and who ultrmately because of thexr slothfulness were dom1nated by other tr1bes Thrs same expernence may well apply to us Amerxcans At f1rst w fought for our count X w1th love of freedom uppermost 1n our m1nds but as tlme went on we began to clamor for maternal possess1ons The tr1v1al thmgs of hfe such as padded bank accounts swank cars cashmere sweaters and mmk coats became lmportant But 1f we are to understand what Amerlca can mean to us and nf 1n thns knowledge we want to be happler than satlated txred Jerry M1tchell then let us remember the baslc ldeals of lnfe and come to chernsh those mtanglble values whlch the great Amer1cans of all tnmes have loved freedom and jus tlce under God Welcome to America By Janet Gxvel Glve me your tlred your poor your huddled masses yearmng to breathe free Ive been welcomlng strangers to the Unlted States smce 1886 when I fnrst began my long Vlgll here on Bedloe s Island 1n New York Harbor It hasn t been easy to stand outsnde dur hot summer sun beatmg down upon me My lsland 1sn t as lonely as I thought xt would be when I flrst arrlved That s probably because my job keeps me so busy Each day I watch over the many shlps commg IH and out of New York Harbor and at mght I watch the quiet moon shm mg down on the great Atlantlc Ocean Im also kept busy by my many frlends who come out to VISIY me each day In my spare tlme whxch IS very I1m1ted I l1ke to thmk about the pro gress wlnch my country has made durlng the past years I can always remember the fnrst axrplane whxch buzzed over my head several years ago I was qulte frxghtened at fnrst but once I became accustomed to the nolse arrplanes no longer dlsturbed me Now I thmk nothxng of havmg a fleet of jet arrplanes swoopmg over me although 1t usually dnsturbs my fnends Another b1t of progress whlch used to arouse my CUFIOSIIV was the erectlon of all the tall bulldxngs ln New York Clty I couldn t see the bulldmgs but I could surely feel the1r presence The wmd dxdn t feel as cold as xt had for many years One day I eavesdropped on a conversatlon between two of my frnends who were vlsltnng me I heard them talkmg about all of the beautnful new structures both 1n New York Clty and n thenr hometowns all over the Umted States One of the most recent structures IS the Unrted Natlons Bunldmg which 1snt far from me Bes1des bemg a beautnful structure lt ns one of the most lmportant symbols of hberty for natlons all over the world Representatnes of many natxons who work together ln thns great edxflce are all strnvmg tom ard a common goal lrb erty and peace for all the world I try to help these people by servmg as a symbol of hberty and good wxll I proudly hold my torch hugh above all my friends so that nts beacon w1ll shme down upon them and show them the way of lxberty The Lord Prayer Everyday Blessings BV Anne Kutak I have gone through lxfe takmg everyth1ng for granted I had never thought about what Amerlca means to me unt1l I was asked to wrlte thls paper Then I started to thmk about Amernca and me As I sat orgamzmg my thoughts prnor to wrntmg my paper one Sunday afternoor a serxes of famnllar words kept runnmg through my mmd democracy freedom securxty and peace But these words are someone s elses thoughts and ldeas not mme They aren t what Amerxca means to me church but the church of a frrend Now this nncldent drdn t concern me untrl I started wrltmg my paper Then rt became clear to me that I could have attended any church I wanted That afternoon I fmnshed my homework At fnfst I dxdn t conslder domg all that work a prlvxlege but then I remembered an artncle I had read about the dnffncult hfe a Korean glrl was havnng Ireahzed hovs fortunate Iam to be able to go to school That thought of school remmded me of a famlly drs cussxon of the prexxous nlght My famlly and I were dnscussmg my courses for next year and what colleges I was Interested ln attendlng after I completed my two remalnmg years of hugh school My I thought nsn t nt fortun te tha-t I can choose my subjects and my college Just as I reached thxs po1nt nn the paper the telephone rang My frnend Judy wanted to know nf I could drlve her to the drug store As we were drnvmg Judy told me about the audntorxum program planned for next week A man was Pom xng to speak about commumsm Here I thought IS another pomt for my paper The speaker can speak on whatever he chooses In school the next day I heard many of the glrls dnscuss mg an edxtonal whlch had appeared 1n the latest edrtlon of the school newspaper The edltornal was entltled Eighteen Year Olds Should Not Be Allowed to Vote' I thought we surely are prlvlleged to be able to stand agamst the gowernment and express what vue belxeve It 15 also good that we openly express our feehngs on any subject we choose To me lf IS these eserydaw events 1n my llfe not blg words wnth long meamngs that express what Amerxca means to me Page Flfleen .. , . . . , 1 1 Ivy -- H . . .
