erican who betters himself has
strengthened his nation and is able
to give his greatest service.
One of the bestWas."young:
person ca n prepare to. be a good
citizen is to get the best possible
education. Lately there has been
much controversy over the p0ssi,
ble superiority of Russian schoolS.
As a student I can destroy this
possibility by applying myself to
learning. No hool can be any
better than the students who at
tend. rie students must excel
scholastically and must also de-
velo p proper fftitudes.
THE 1 STIJDENT who does his
best: in school is giving his na-
tion his best service, Where would
the, Declaration of Independenqe
have .come from if Thomas Jef:
ferson, hadn't bothered to learn to
write? How long wpuld our na-
tion have. survived without the
Constitution, :which was written
by learned men with the • ability
to express them,elves clearly?
: The student does have. other bb:
ligations besides studying. He
should take an active part tn the
extracurricular ctivities of, his
School: By joining clubs he learns
to, get:,along with others. He be
gins to •understand Democracy and
how it functions. These extra ac-
tivities can help relieve the ten-
sions of .Scholastic •life. They are
also a means of developing one's
self confidence.
When! speak of a good educa-
tion. I include also moral and re.-
ligious training which mUst begin
in the home. Our land was Settled
and our country was founded by
religious men. Faith in Cod'has
comforted and led many .gTeat
men of our country. Our country
is .based on Christian principles
with freedom of religionf0r ai ....
A CLOSE religious Lie gives one
a high moral standard. It is a
fact that all former empires fell
due to moral decay and.corrup-
tion.from within the country it-
self. A belief in God is the grea-
test. deterrant to moral decay. ]
can serve my country, ,by be
a moral citizen and-religiou givc
this high moral standard.
I, as a young American, can
serve my country by keeping in-
formed on current affairs. By hav-
ing a knowledge of the circum-
stances. I can have a better un-
derstanding of the decisions made
by our government officials. I be-
lieve it is the right and duty of
every .ctizen to criticize the gov-
ernment leaders if he disagrees
with a •policy or decision. Timre-
fore, a knowledge of current af-
fairs is essential h fulfilling this
obligation.
I also feel that young peop
should take an active part in pub-
lie service organizations such as
Boy Scouts, Church youth groups
etc. These organizations help by
giving leadership training and op-
portunities for the older members
to help and guide the younger
members.
Another way rot youth to streng-
then America is being brought
out by President Kennedy and his
physical fitness program. To be

sharp mentally one must be In
good physical condition. Turning
out.for school sports is xdellent
and it also teaches teamwor k and
sp0tsmanship. A strong country
needs strong citizens, young, ad
old alike. As a young citizenI can
keep myself physically fit and •thUs
help strengthen America:.
PERHAPS ONE OF the grea..
test services I can give is to help
younger people to become• better.
Few teenagers realize that smart
ler children often lo0k tip?to them
if I set a good example for these
children, then .by helping them,
I have helped America. However,
to set this example, I must always
obey the laws, be courteous, have
& high moral .character.and ShOw
patriotism to my. country.
I can do one more service, >but
I need the help of every young per-
son in the land. The prestige mid
honor of young people has ebbed to
a new 10w in the past fewyears.
The word "teenager" has become
synonymous with delinquent. By
being a better person mentally,
morally and physically, I can help
• aise the reputation of American
youth. It is said that a country's
greatest resource is its . young
people. If I can raise the .stand
ard of young people, then I have
raised the wealth of the country,
Another way to.prepare to be a
valuable citize is to learn about
the _Tnited St.stes, the. traditions;
aud the heritage. We have rich
traditions and an inSpirifig heri.-
tage. By learning of our history
I can understand out present and
help guide our future.
IN SUMMARY, .I believe I can
best sezwe the United States by
preparing to be a future citizen
#nd voter. I must receive an edu-
Cation, for without it I cammt hope
to make' wise decisions in -this
ever-changing world. I need' a re
ligious background for I must
have a belief in God. Without this
faith I will be fuII of uncertainties
and doubts about right and wrong:
I need to take an actiVe part in
school and public affairs, for this
is preparation for a greater 'role
in te future. I need to keep phy-•
sically fit, I need to learn about
our great history. Meal/ important,
though, I must strive to become
a good, moral honest, and patri-
otic citizen. My goal is to be a
person of whom the United State
can be justly proud. To serve in
this way, I must now prepare fo
the future. • :

tivity in this c0mmtmity the past
week has centered around grad-
