November 11 was proclaimed a holiday in remember ance of the long hoped for peace after the untiring struggle of the world war. All this is. patriotism. It is patriotism in the sense that we appreciate the attainments of others it is patriotism in the sense that we express our desire to realize like great attainments. But real patriotism comes not from this outward portrayal of appreciation, nor from flying of colors and long wearisome proclamations Real patriotism comes from service loyalty to our country. Perhaps we may not all be privileged to enter the ranks, or march under the protection of our most glorious banner, but we may all in our daily lives, truly serve our nation and ourselves. We may protect her ideals, support her officers, obey her laws and above all live a life truly worthy to be classed as an American citizen. These my friends are our privileges our duties and by these duties we performing strengthen America and benefit ourselves. I AM EDUCATION.

We can see the needs of south-ci n Utah and make the Dixie a willing servant in solving them ; we can pave the way for more students to come ; we can set and attain standards ; and place an object for the future.

Man, because of me, holds dominion over earth, air and sea ; it is for him I leash the lightning, plumb the deep and shackle the ether.

Thus have I become Freedoms citadel, the arm of democracy, the hope of youth, the pride of adolescence, the joy of age. Fortunate the nations and happy the homes that welcome me.
