Parker, Hayes, Rider, LaVallee, Keen, White, Mitchell, Moy. The officers and sponsor of the Patriotism Society look upon the material symbol of American liberties and freedom to remind all of the true meaning of patriotism. P Talofrl M I will never forget that I am an American citizen, responsible for my actions, and dedi- cated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America. fAdapted from The Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forcesj The purpose of the Patriotism Society, to instill the qualities of true Americanism in each Sam Houston student, is one of the most praiseworthy goals ever attempted by any club. Sam Houstonites have quickly realized the importance of such an crganization, the first of its kind in the city. Their enthusiasm and earnest endeavor resulted in the opening of similar clubs throughout I-Iouston. The ac- tivities of the Society have even sparked the interest of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade which has been instrumental in pro- viding speakers, recordings, and films which are utilized in teaching young people of the devastating effects of Communism on the American way of life. - Officers President Bill I-Iayes Vice President Bob Rider Secretary Michael LaValle Treasurer Sue Keen Parliamentarian LaDon White Chaplain Pat Mitchell Reporter Melvin Moy Sponsor Mr. Byron Parker i I will never forget that I am an American citizen . . . l78
