mo the wonlo Beautiful, Ano oellqhtful to uve in qneek spmlt . . South hamilton For centuries ancient Greece has been admired as a center of culture and learning, where literature, oratory, and the arts flourished. There democracy and the democratic system as we know it today was born. To ancient Greece we are indebted for many of the highest ideals that guide us through life today. Athenian youths, upon the completion of their secondary education, were required to take this oath: We will never bring disgrace to our city by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many, we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those about us, we will always strive to quicken the public's sense of civic duty, and thus, in all these ways, we will strive to leave this city not less, but greater, better, and more beautiful than it was when it was left to us. Though two thousand years old, this oath is still a true statement of our ideals today. We, as citizens of the United States of America and as students of Westchester High School, recognize our responsibility to pass our land untarnished on to our children, and in doing so, to help these children to know the high hopes and ideals that have made our nation great. With this hope, we present our theme tor Flight 1963, Ancient Greece.
