Passage 1: Vote for Gordon for class president. As Gordon's best friend since third
grade, I can tell you that this guy knows how to have a good time. From
tree forts and cartoons to laser tag, football, and video games, I've
seen firsthand that anything Gordon does becomes fun. He can even
make school entertaining Vote for Gordon
Passage 2:
Vote for Gordon for class president. After serving as vice president last
year, Gordon is a natural choice for our class this year. He knows how
student government works, and he proved it by planning three
successful dances last year - the Fall Fling, Winter Wiggle, and Spring
Shindig - as well as the end-of-year field day. Gordon also convinced
Principal Dapple to install a vending machine outside the gym. He'll get
even better results as president Vote for Gordon

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
