DEMOCRACY ADMINISTERING CLASSES I, the Spirit of Democracy, am found in the midst of the administration, the faculty, and the classes of Southmont High School. I represent the free and unbiased instruction allowed under my government. I represent a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people . ln my name one finds wise and just administration, well-formulated instruction, and freedom in choice of educational advantages. What do l offer in a school? First, I offer to you, the youth of America, a government of those educated solely in the influence of that instruction which encourages desire for further education, individuality of thought and expression, and training of youth to face future problems of democracy. I offer to you young people a variety of subjects so that you may obtain a wide sphere of knowledge. lt is not my Wish to train you in mechanical and scientific lines for the purpose of destroying your fellow men. I wish to place at your disposal the knowledge that will benefit mankind and improve this world in which we live. Lastly, it is my aim to give to each of you, regardless of race, color, or religion, an opportunity to gain that education best suited to you and to present to you viewpoints of respect and tolerance toward humanity.
