AN IDEAL AMERICAN CITIZEN I am proud to be an American because the Ameri- can purpose, born of brotherly love and human equality, is to serve; not to rule. This idea is expressed in our homes, our churches, and our representative democracy. America serves me; I serve America; and, through her, I serve the world. There is pride in service. These arc the words of a true American. These are the words of Susanne Taflinger, a 1939 graduate of Paris High. When asked Why are you proud to be an American?” Susanne expressed in fifty-five words what might well be the creed of all America. Surely the future of democratic society is assured as long as students such as Susanne emerge from the class rooms of our nation’s high schools. In addition to nation wide attention, Susanne re- ceived from thcGruen Watch Company one thousand dollars and a gold Gruen wrist watch as first prize. The school was given five hundred dollars in addition, but Miss Wenz immediately donated this amount to the same purpose as the other,—to Susanne’s future education. Susanne has long been an honored student at Paris High, both in scholastics and girls’ athletics. In her expression of the ideals of America, Susanne has set an example of Americanism, patriotism, and citizen- ship which might well be followed by everyone.

Our hearts were saddened by the death of Miss Ethel B. Hougham on September 6, 1939. Twelve years of unselfish service had endeared her to the entire community, as well as to her students and associates. Kind, patient, and cheerful, her sympathetic understanding and sincere loyalty will long be re- membered by all who knew her. It is with the deepest sorrow that we mourn a true friend.
