Freedom has many and varied meanings, but freedom to an American is a way of life. It is an existence in which he is given the opportunity to fully participate in society. More important, however, is that he can strive as an individual to maintain and preserve the democratic tradition. It is the job of each successive generation to sustain within and spread abroad the democratic philosophy. Every responsible American should defend his ideals when they are challenged, whether he be in the courtroom or classroom. We owe much to the soldier who gives his life, to the orator who lends his voice, and to the writer who with his mighty pen protects and perpetuates the American way of life. For this is the existence in which we believe, and we shall strive to uphold this belief as we emerge into adulthood.
