Our United States Con- stitution is clear and precise in promul- gating the principles of American liberty. These principles hold that every man has the right to freedom of speech, to freedom of assembly, to freedom of wor- HOWARD G. LEWIS ship, the right to a good education, the right to live where he pleases and work where he wishes, and the right to manage his own affairs. Principles of individual .freedom sometimes clash, however, with those of individual equality and, therefore, our rights as human beings must sometimes be limited. We must not interfere with the privileges of others, and the rights of any one person must not interfere with the welfare of people as a whole. In America, every man is free to achieve as much as he can, and he will be judged by his own accomplishment. A man's family background, his race, or his political affiliation is not as important as what that man himself is capable of doing. As individuals we have a duty to our family, our church, our school, our community, and our nation. During the past twenty years our horizons have widened greatly, and what happens throughout the world affects us, our actions can also affect the world. It is, therefore, our personal obligation to act properly, wisely, cooperatively in whatever we do. You, as a student, must constantly remember that every individual should deal fairly with others. Exemplify this concept in your relationships with fellow classmates and with your teachers in this school. Practice every day those Virtues of honesty, humility, integrity that help people to work together pleasantly, harmoniously and with shared responsibility. If we can all demonstrate daily some of the many principles of American liberty and guide our lives accordingly we can each play a personal part in helping America to grow better, and stronger, and greater in the years ahead.
