WHAT THE AMERICAN FLAG MEANS to ME First, let me say the American Flag is the most beautiful flag in the whole world. Red, White, and Blue. To me, the Red is for the blood of all our brothers, dads and cousins, who shed their blood to keep this land of ours a place that is nice to live in. 'God grant, as President Lincoln said, in his Gettysburg address, These dead, shall not have died in vain. The White .is for purity. It means we in America have the right to attend any church of our choice, We are not told, as in other countries where to go and how to worship, As they teach us .in church, Washed and you'll be made whiter than snow. The boys that have fought and died, now, and in the past have done so to make this land a purer one in which to live, The Blue .is for fidelity. Can't we, who have the chance to l.ive in this wonderful land, be true to the flag that flies so proudly in battle-fields? When the soldier carrying the flag is shot down, the one next to him grabs the flag to keep it flying bravely on forever, never letting it fall, They gave their lives for us and their flag. So can't we, the children of today, the future parents of tomorrow, do our part to teach our children and ourselves what the Red, White, and Blue stands for? This is what the American Flag means to me. Gerald Wilson '54 CHANGES ANOTHER POEM There was a time not long ago, Oh dear! That in the winter folks would go How drear! To that state not far away, Another poem, Where in winter they could play, Th.is year! As in summer, Play they could By the stream and in the wood, Racked my brain While in Maine the snow did fly, Shed a tear In sunny Florida they would lie Made a rhyme On sandy shore and sunny beach, Never fear, If that haven they could reach. But times have changed here in Maine, Tis mere Instead of snow we now have rain, November days are warm as spring Thanksgiving Day no shivers bring No more do we need to go there Our own Maine is just as fair. Florence Starr '57 Sounds queer But .it's here Very clear! Bessie F. Cote 56
