This is our country ... As our country started out on its Bicentennial, we began to hear more and more about what we had done 200 years ago. Each American began to think about what he had and about that wonderful thing called “freedom”, that our fore- fathers fought so hard for. The phrase that came to mind was “This is our coun- try.” Not the French or Spanish but ours. That’s th®sway we began to think about our school and its surroundings, something that was ours. No other school is like ours, nor do they have the same people. We have people coming from many areas of Beford County, from Moneta, Huddleston, Stewartsville, Body Camp, even from Vinton. Our community covers a lot of ground, ground that is considered Eagle Country. So come with us as we take a look at our school year and the community that is “our Country.” 2 Opening
