PRIDE the very word expresses the feelings of the people of the United States of America towards their nation. Wherever we look American pride is evident, from the Lady in the Harbor representing our precious liberty, to the majestic mountains peering over our beloved land. Our founding fathers chose ordinary items from everyday life to create a univer- sal understanding of the ideals upon which our country was built. Old Glory sym- bolizes the American way of life. Its bold colors of red, white, and blue uniquely com- municate a message of courage, purity, and justice. The American Bald Eagle is another symbol of America's pride. The powerful wingspread of this distinctive and rare bird expresses our strength and unityg its daring and courage reflects our historical struggles and victories. America's real pride is more than just symbolsg it is her people. The promise of freedom has attracted people from throughout the world to her shores. They T13 4' V 2 X Opening have arrived with their varied customs and cultures and been assimilated into one pro- ud people - the citizens of the United States of America. We have learned to ap- preciate our people's differences, their in- dividual contributions to our country's heritage. All Americans have helped to build a powerful and respected nation, a na- tion of contrasts but one with a single pur- pose, Liberty and justice for All! From the moment Ronald Reagan was in- augurated as the 40th President of the United States, he has dedicated himself to the reaffirmation of the national spirit and pride among the citizens of our country. His faithfulness to our basic principles and his firmness in following the Constitution have served as examples to all the people. The students, faculty, and staff of North Fort Myers High School share this imm. ise feeling of pride and love for our country t id her people. Proudly we raise our voices 1 echo the famous words: God Bles. America, Our Home, Sweet Home! 1 l l .
