[dlemm Memorial There are numerous public buildings and monuments in Washing- ton, but none which combines beauty and meaning so well as the Jefferson Memorial. Thomas Jefferson, we believe, is a fitting intro- duction to the 1954 Bell Cote, tv hose theme is the government of the United States because he, who played such a great role in the founding of the nation, is a challenging inspiration to the young people of our country.

The future of our country lies in us, the young people of America. On us, for the past two years, has lain the responsibility of preparing ourselves for the task of carrying this great nation ever for- ward. There is no better location we could have chosen to learn from first-hand experience how our government functions.. In our two years at Mount Vernon we have witnessed the inauguration of a new president of the United States; we have lived through the change of one administration to another, and have watched, here in Washington, democratic government in action. We can only hope that the knowledge gained here will enable us to go on to a constructive, full life in the years to come.
