push further and further west through dark forests and across wide prairies and rivers. These people made up the hardy Western stock. All these things were incorporated into the people of America. The mingling of people guided by the same principles of personal liberty went on. The spirit of the plains, the quiet calm of the lakes, the brave adventurous spirit of the hunters and explorers, the thrill and strength of our rich, hardy land were blended into the American breed. Want and fear drove hundreds of thousands to our shores. The brave hardiness of these people, who could not even speak the language, mixed with the Puritan austerity and French verve, and the product was an American. They brought fresh blood and brawn to the mixture. The machine age came with a clashing of gears and a roaring of mighty motors. The phrases were: Speed -mass production-monopolies-Wall Street-Mr. President- I promise you a chicken in every pot - 'AVote for Wilson , and many other American phrases. Today thousands are seeking entrance in search of freedom from fear. Might and Right are Hitler's code, and his subjects live in terror. . The odor of a hot dog with everything , a gleam- ing cone of ice ream, the odor of gasoline, steam, and oil, and the flash of streamline cars are America. The old couple rocking on the porch, the dizzying odor of a pine forest, the awe-inspiring Empire State Building, the roar and bustle of a subway, and the jitterbugs, jam sessions, painted cars, zoot suits. and sweater girls are America. These are the answers given by the land. The his- tory of America has made its people. The inventions of the centuries have changed us. The foods, customs, languages, and blood of many races and people have blended together in a giant vat to make Americans. In the end, however, Americans are America. Then you do as I have done and remember all the little incidents in your life which at the time seemed like nothing, but which are deeply imprinted on your mind. My home to me is my family. What it would be like without them, I dare not think. but I know home would then be only a memory. We are dependent one on the other, whether we know it or not. When you remember incidents in your childhood, someone dear to you is always connected with them. They could not have happened otherwise. Home can be a place of sadness or of gladness, but whatever it to be, it is up to you. My home is open to all my friends, and their laughter and gaiety have made it a happy place, One helping the other in time of need has brought it gladness, and one respecting the other's property and personal rights has brought a peace of mind and a feeling of tranquility. In our home is the feeling that God is always with us and helping us. He keeps us together. Without religion in a family there can be no hope of peace. I think of my home as a place where God has united us and is holding us together. sg-ga onorable Mention DAVID CAMPBELL Honorable mention was given by the judges to June Wilkins for her essay on The Philosophy of Browning and to David Camp- bell for his essay on What Shall We Do with Germany?
