SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN FILAG fContinued from Page 41 free country existing for liberty and the maintenance of rights of all citi- zens. VVl1ile they fought, struggled, and died our forefathers thought not of their lives but of the spirit and hopes centered in our great flag. Thereafter, the 1'irst settlers formed a government that would meet the needs of the people and at the same time convey the real spirit of Americanism and the American Hag. However, the result was at- tained only after many conventions and the formation of an inept cen- tral government under The Articles of Confederation. The grand climax was the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, which also reflects

THE RED AND WHITE si the spirit of our great flag. With the spirit of our American Flag in his soul, Nathan Hale said as he was about to die, I only re- gret that I-have but one life to give for my country. It was in the War of 1812 that the wounded Captain Lawrence of the Chesapeake uttered his last words, Don't give up the ship. Thus, throughout our history men have died and will continue to give their lives defending the true spirit of our Hag and our nation. This sym- bol of democracy is the banner that protects and guides every American citizen on his path of freedom and liberty. American history and American achievement of the past show that there is no emergency so great, no obstacles so tremendous that they cannot be overcome by Americans who have in their souls the God-given spirit of American independence. Such a consciousness has made pos- sible for Americans to perform great deeds in the past and offers them hope and courage for the future. English 217 JOAN FAIST, '53 Ring. That was the bell for the beginning of sixth period. As Mari- lyn whizzed through the door at the last possible moment, she remem- bered all too clearly what the assign- ment given the previous day had been. As she settled down in her seat in 217, the English room, her mind was a mixed-up jumble of thoughts, ideas, and answers. Today was the day to write the short story, which, by the way, was a large part of her report card mark. Marilyn sat very still thinking what to write about, for she had de- cided to make a try at it anyway. Twenty minutes passed, and the pa- per had so little writing on it that it was almost heartbreaking. Miss Ames walked down the aisle slowly, glancing at the pupils' papers to see how they were progressing. When she came to Marilyn, she stopped short, with a look of sheer astonishment upon her face. Mari- lyn's face turned white, then red, for she really didn't have any legal ex- cuse for the practically bare paper. Then the inevitable happened. Miss Ames straightened, and with a sigh looked at Marilyn and asked, Well, what happened, Marilyn? You know you're one of my best pupils, but af- ter this I have had my belief rather shaken. Marilyn slowly looked up, her mind searching furiously for an ex- cuse. Well, Mother was sick last night, Miss Ames, and as Father was away on business at the time 1 was elected to look after her. I just didn't have the time to do any study- ing, but I am willing to make it all up. To Marilyn's surprise and as- tonishment, Miss Ames gently smiledg with a look of complete un- derstanding and trust in her deep, blue eyes. Very well, Marilyn, come back at 2.:20, and we'll see about it. Then she smiled briefly and continued down the aisle. Marilyn congratulated herself. Miss Ames would never know Mother was not sick, and anyway, she really didn't feel too well, she had even said so herself. And Father really was away on business. That afternoon, Marilyn told Miss Ames she wouldn't be able to stay at 2.:20, so arrangements were made for the following day. That afternoon though, when Marilyn was walking home, she didn't feel like walking with the other girls. She wanted to be alone, although she really couldn't say why. She knew that instant, for no reason at all, that -because she had lied to Miss Ames, her conscience would never leave her alone. That night in the inky darkness of her bedroom, she saw Miss Ames' face loom up before her. She tossed and turned and rubbed her eyes, but she could not erase the picture in her mind. E T ' '
