OUR FLAG When we stand at attention to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, do we fully realize our responsibilities as American citizens ? Do we fully understand what this tri-colored cloth symbolizes? It is the symbol of the strength and the courage manifested by our forefathers in establishing the solid foundation upon which our country has become great. Our flag has always stood for a dynamic and growing country. The fathers of our country drew up the Declaration of Independence which made our nation free. In the Constitution they affirmed the principles of liberty, equality, and justice. As we view and salute our flag, let us remember the higher price our fathers have had to pay for the freedom which we enjoy and not take it for granted. Let us also remember that we must all be willing to do our share in preserving our cherished liberty as symbolized by Old Glory . Linwood Moody l955 WHAT'S IT WORTH Ask yourself this question and answer it honestly and fairly. What will-my high school diploma be worth? Is it just a slip of paper with a few signatures? Was it worth the snuggle? Certainly! It is a privilege to work for a diploma. ln some countries boys and girls of our age are not given the opportunity to go to school. instead, they are made to go to work. We are given the right to choose the subjects we would like to take in school, and we are helped to pick out the subjects best fitted to our interest and to our abilities. The fact that a person has received his high school diploma does not guarantee success. The individual must try to better himself for the goal toward which he is striving. To achieve success a person must have the determination and the willingness to work. As we who are graduating go out into the world today to look for a job, we shall need that high school diploma. We shall be competing with men and women who are high school grad- uatesg if we do not have a diploma, our chances for success will be very slim. There is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that we have attempted an assignment of life and have achieved it. Annette Adams l955
