1 SINCE this year, 1960, Through free elections, we Americans once again renew faith in our democratic 'heritage, it seems appropriate for us to take stock of what this dynamic word, DEMOCRACY, really means. We find it in the people who create it and in the principles by which they live. ln a truly demo- cratic country a man can make friends without dis- trust or anxiety, he can worship God in his own fashion, he may disagree with his neighbor and criticize his government, he may seek knowledge of today without having it censored for him, he can find time for ioy and relaxation and he is free to vote for the man of his choice for President. ln the l96O IMAGAGA we have endeavored to relate statements of these democratic principles to campus life-for example, Lincoln's immortal of the people, by the people, and for the people is used to sym- bolize campus organizations, which are of, by and for the students. Thus words which have r-ung down through the years, words which have once stirred the 4 hearts of millions of Americans are used again to -'illustrate activities as meaningful to us as students as are the events in adult life. WE THE PEOPLE- students faculty and administrators of La Puente High School RECORD SOUNDS OF DEMOCRACY. SOU S OF DEMOCRACY
