We accept Mastercharge and Bankamericard Margaret Williams and Leslie Coble are the winners of an essay contest sponsored by the high school choir of the Fox Valley Christian school, McHenry. The winning essay was written by Margaret Williams, and second, place went to Leslie Coble. Following is Margaret's essay on the topic, "What Is An American" "Although it was 200 years ago our nation was formed, you can still find those who are living in the spirit of '76. Our nation is built on the hardships of others, and is a nation living under God. As we remember the birth of our nation, we must also remember that when we fail to live as Americans we are throwing aside all the suffering that helped make America what it is today." "An American, to me, is one who is born in the United States, and who will serve America in hopes that we would always be a free nation. An American is one who will show his loyalty, and serve whatever the cause, in a manner which would raise the spirits of those who have forgotten that we are a free nation, or perhaps never knew it. Often we forget just how free a nation we really are. Our country is based on the constitution which is the supreme law of the land. "We have freedom of speech, religion, and many more of which are taken for granted. Many other countries have risen in power, and in the eyes of some, they seem to be a threat; but if Americans will unite, forming a spirit of vic­ tory and join together under God, we will perhaps relive a time which is history, and is what the spirit of '76 is all about. "The American flag is the symbol that has stood for centuries as a reminder of the battles we have struggled through, but have yet remained victorious. We have lived and survived as a free nation to celebrate, this our 200th an­ niversary, but even so many Americans have forgotten what an American really is. We should stand together in unison as we give the pledge to our country and to our flag. Many of our patriotic songs tell the story of America and perhaps if sung more often the spirit which seems to be dwindling away would be revived. When you think of your part as an American remember that only together can we survive and cherish the life we live and accept it as a gift from God, who has made us what we are today. "Through the years the victorious spirit which has survived for 200 years will survive till the end of time, when Christ will take us to a better place where we will always be free. But until then, strive to make better, what we have today, and never forget that as Americans, we can be proud of what we stand for. For r=r̂ n GRADUATES Navy Seaman Richard A.

For we have been together as a nation for 200 years, which is proof that God is on our side, and without him we know we would not be living as we are today. "Christ was here in the beginning of America, and he was there even before, hearing the prayers of the people, and joining their strength in the other, and giving them the power to go on, striving, and fighting, til the victory. Christ is still here, and as we pray, we know it will be answered as before and that Christ will guide our country in the direction to go, because he is "The Truth, The Way. and The Life...'
