The Lord said to Gabriel, My people must speak plainer. The only man who can help them Is a teacher named Cecil Trainor. So Gabriel went in search Of this very gifted director. And the Lord sent along An angel as a protector. God was pleased to receive him. Now his earthly troubles are past. And we know that where he is Everyone makes the All-Star Cast. Gene Stogner MRS.

And So Goodbye The Lincoln Memorial Washington, D.C. 104 We Celebrate the Past in the spirit of seventy There was an enormous foree which strengthened the colonies, which exists today, and which has carried America through its great history. That force is known to us all to be the Spirit of '76. ” It is a SPIRIT OF LIBERTY and the knowl- edge that one man's freedom is more important than anything else on earth. It is the SPIRIT OF OPTI- MISM of knowing that we can always make things better — of working onlv for the best, and expecting only the best. It is the SMUT OF FROS- TIER — of not fearing to go where man lias not reached. George W ashington I homas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton James Madison John Hancock It is the SPIRIT OF INDIVIDUALISM — acknowledging a birthright of opportunity and freedom drawn from the strength of our fathers. Indeed the SPIRIT OF ’76” was, and is, many things, each of which has been a building block of our national greatness. Our country grew on that spirit and prospered on that spirit. When all else fails it is that spirit that will be there to guide us and keep us strong. Autographs
