We Are WE ARE AMERICA. We are the school youth of today— more than 32,000,000 of us. We are a time capsule within ourselves— We are the past, the present, and the future. We are the past... We are believing and living the ideals for which our predecessors fought, lived, and died... We are the embodiment of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Lincoln. We are the adventurous spirit and pioneering blood of Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and others who carved : of eG our land from a wilderness. We are the creative mind of Eli Whitney, Robert Fulton, the Wright brothers, Bell, and Edison. Where we are free to learn, page 5 We are symbolic of Stephen Foster, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin...and the Barrymores. We are the sentiments of Longfellow, Mark Twain, and Will Rogers. We are the sportsmanship of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, the World Series. We are all this—and more. We are the present... In our time—Pearl Harbor, Korea, the Atomic Bomb, and...the H-Bomb! We have witnessed the breaking of the water, sound, and heat barriers. We have seen rockets, jet planes, cinerama, T.V., and plans for space satellites and trips to the moon. : We are entangled in the problems of automation and eS ‘ . the tensions ofsa disordered world. Where we recognize the worth of all individuals, page 1 = Ws N But we have seen men striving for peace, for a United Nations. | ‘ex Where We practice the rules of good sportsmanship, page 45 WY ys fais RARER:
