“...To Form A More Perfect Union...”
For the carping critics of Amenca. for those who want to
make our Bicentennial a truly meaningful celebration, and
perhaps for those who have lost some of their enthusiasm for
the great American dream. Editor John Slinkman of
Washington. DC.. has some words of wisdom. Mr.
Slinkman. incidentally, is Editor of the monthly magazine of
the Reserve Officers Association of the United States. And in
a recent message to his readers. Edttor Slinkman wrote this:
"It is important to remember that the Constitutional
Convention was made up of hard-headed men. fully aware
that human beings are not perfect. Indeed, the whole
document was designed to provide balances of power to
insure against the perversion by power-seeking individuals of
the governmental system it created.
"Accordingly, they realistically wrote in the enacting
clause (which, over the years, has come to be called "the
preamble") that their objective was to form, not a 'perfect-
union. but a more perfect' one."
This distinction. Mr. Slinkman shrewdly observes, is vitally
important as we. this year, celebrate our 200th anniversary;
for the very simple reason that there is not. nor will there ever
be. the "perfect" Union—because is not perfect.
Our founding fathers, being wise men. were not under the
illusion that anything less than perfection is intolerable.
Today we have among us some very foolish persons who are
demanding what they call "a second revolution" and are
seeking to disrupt the Bicentennial celebration because, they
bitterly complain, we have imperfections in our system!
No nation in history has set for itself higher goals than the
United States. And because our goals were great, our
achievements have also been great. Thus we have enjoyed
more blessings than any other people on earth.
Perhaps we will never achieve all that our founding fathers
hoped for this nation. But so long as we maintain and cherish
that great American dream, and keep seeking to achieve
greater things, we will continue to prosper accordingly.

independent programs for Jr.
and Sr. High boys and girls.
The Jr. High will have its
own Home Ec room.
1 believe that for the first
time in Nyssa the facilities
will provide a much better
program for both the Jr. and
Sr. High School because each
school can operate inde
pendently.
The Music. Art and some
Vocational programs will,
because of our size, be
coordinated and scheduled
between the entire school
system.
1 am looking forward to one
of our finest school years. I
want to thank patrons,
students, teachers and par
ticularly the School Board
and Building Committee for
the help given in turning a
very difficult experience into
a very successful two years.
I believe you will be very
pleased with the total school
buildings when they are
completed.
Save a week from Sunday.
June 27. from 2 p.m. to 5
p.m., to take part in an open
house for the

School Building. 1 know you
will be pleased.

This year’s budget pre

to a school two years after a
fire. While last year's budget
did include payment on the
bonds for the new building,
this year's budget does
reflect some of the changes
and improvements.

power costs are the best
educated guesses possible,

space to heat, light, and

room space donated by the
area churches. TVCC and the

The new school will offer
for the first time an oppor

Schools to operate more or

another. In the past, the
Library. P.E., Music and
