COME HQLY Qi-IOS I One day in school during Religion period Sister Agnes Maria suggested to the class that we should have an exhibit. This sug- gestion S met with enthusiastic approval of the class. oon the project was underway and I was searching earnestly for a thought that seemed fitting for an original poster. Soon I realize d that my thinking was over. Why hadn't I thought o.f this idea before I did not know but the Third Person of the Blessed Trin- ity had phrase we need us in a I earthly tongues and the settled in my mind. It seemed to fit in with a vocational I was going to use W Come Holy Ghost Enlighten Us andsuniy the assistance of the Holy Ghost in guiding and directing choice of vocation. began to think how it was that he had appeared to us in an vision. It was in the form of a dove and in the fozwn of of fire. The first indicated the flow of grace into nmy second the Sacrament of Confirmation when the Holy Spirit filled the hearts of the Apostles with courage and zeal.

I S?.-SAK FOR DEMOCRACY SPONSORED BY THE JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I, Joyce Marie DeAbreu, am an American citizen, living in these United States, a wonderful-country with the highest standardscn'de- mocracy that ever existed. This Qualifies me to speak for democracy First of all let us turn the democracy in its beginning as it classical Greece and Rome. Theirs the citizens could speak and vote pages of history back and look at was known in the city-states of was an absolute democracy where all in assemblies. Since slavery ex- isted, equality of all individuals was not known and the majority had no political rights. The Jewish and Christian religions, which emphasized the rights of the poor, and equality of all men before God, contributed to the development of our modern democratic theory. The democratic ideal though at times suppressed, has been pre- served through the centuries, only to burst forth again when other forms of government became intolerable. By the middle of the Twentieth Century every independentcxmntry in the world with minor exceptions, had a government which in form, at least, was democratic. In the United States a democracy has been maintained since 1776 which has as its ideal sought an equally square deal for every cit- izen. But to appreciate this to the fullest extent, a person must understand the love of liberty that made America great and Our forefathers believed that the people had the right to make the laws. They believed that these laws should be general good and that everyone should obey them since they made for all. To uphold these rights the colonists fought terrible years, suffering many hardships. It is this kind free o and power for the have been for seven of love of liberty that has made America great and free. With this heritage it is no wonder that democracy holds a high place in the heart of every American. This love isn't something that we can sum up into one neat lit- tle paragraph. There are not words enough to put down on paper what is in the hearts of the millions of people who live,sleepandbreathe democracy every day of their lives, because everyone ofthese people is an individual having thus it means different his own likes and dislikes,wants and needs, things to different people. Liberty which seems to be saying, WYou're home nown. Who can explain the salutes the flag, sings ican or one of our many feeling that comes over a person when he the WStar Spangled Bannern, NGod Bless Amen- patriotic songs, The smile or tear- on a person's face as he is greeted in New York Harbor by the Statue of Democracy is not something that we have to look for in books and we don't have to search all over the world for it either. It's right here at our fingertips being handed to us on a silver platters Whether we are young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick, we pos- sess it in the same degree. Grasp it: Don't let it slip away! Use it! It's ours. ' Remember always that without democracy we are like fish cast upon the shore completely helpless. Joyce Marie DeAbreu 1598 56
