v Ljtf THE TALISMAN 172.1 First Honor ESSUY Iacquelyn Westerberg THE INDIVIDUAL IN A DEMOCRACY and THE AMERICAN DREAM Ilave you ever stopped to realize just what an important part each indivi- dual in a democracy plays? Our democracy is made up of forty-eight states. The states are divided into counties, the counties into cities and towns. The cities and towns are com- posed of people-the individuals who govern the country. The president guides our democracy through periods of prosperity and depression. He does not hold that office because he belongs to a royal family, but because the people placed him there. It is the president's duty to see that tho laws are executed. It is our duty as good citizens of the United States to see that an efficient person is in that office. What makes good citizens? It is education. The children of America go to school and are taught good citizenship. Besides learning to think of the rights ol others, to treat other peoples property as if it were our own, and to take on active part in a club meeting, which represents a town or city meeting on a smaller scale, we read the history of our country. By reading of the mistakes made by the people before us, we will profit only if we use this knowledge to its best advantage. When we become of age, it is our right and duty as good citizens of a democracy to vote for those who will serve best the country as a whole. The preservation of a democracy lies in the hands of the individual. With- out the backbone of the country, which is the individual, the democracy will fail. The word democracy means 'xthe rule of the people. Second Honor Essay George Donovan OUR SCHOOL and THE AMERICAN DREAM The American people, having always been concerned with their youth, have developed adequate educational facilities for the promotion of their intellectual growth. Our school, in addition to teaching the fundamentals of earning a living, has led us to realize the importance of taking an active and intelligent part in a democratic government. Such a development consists of teaching these fundamentals, the solution of the problems arising from this type of govern- ment, and the relationship among other nations. Our school also deals with the individual by illustrating and diagnosing his problem, by polishing his manners, and by aiding in his personality development. A practical knowledge is gained from the student government, which gives the pupils an opportunity to solve their own problems, by publications, which utilize the student's training in the school departments and which devel- op leadership and originality, and by student activities, which require a great deal of planning and responsibility. Physical education plays an ever-more important part in modern educa- tion. Also, on the schools fall the tasks of weeding out prejudices and juvenile delinquency and of transplanting strong healthy plants of good citizenship. In order for the American Dream to be fulfilled, Huntington High School and all other similar institutions must continue this progressive attitude. Amer- ica's comprehensive alertness in seeing the necessity for training tomorrow's citizens can lead only to the recognition that democracy is something deeper than liberty, it is responsibility.
