Principal W WS5W!=WH?™« « ' fgimmi fi maf f i fs; Patriots: The first mihuteman was a patriot who com- mitted himself to the uUimate sacrifice for any emergency at a minute ' s warning . That he ably and completely met this obligation has been fully documented in American history. Later the minuteman came to symbolize a revolt against tyranny. As John Greenleaf Whittier once wrote: Their death blow shook the feudal tower And shattered slavery ' s chain as well; On the ship ' s dome, as on a hell Its echo struck the world ' s great hour. In our own times the latter meaning is particu- larly fitting, for once again, as so often has been the case in the course of history, we are deadlocked in a world-wide struggl e between the forces that seek to suppress human freedoms to the benefit of the state, and those that respect the dignity of man. For Lowell High School Patriots it is especially pertinent that we be aware of the term and its ex- panded connotation in the assumption of our responsibilities of citizenship. Donald Kennedy John D.
