School began and Mrs. Hansen announced that the class would be putting on a patriotic programme to help sell Liberty Bonds to help raise money for the war.

The programme had a special part as one of the female students would be chosen to play Lady Liberty. The girl would be chosen based on essay entitled “ How We Can Help The War Effort Right Here In Turtle Lake”.

The boy with the best essay would play the part of Doughboy and wear a khaki uniform. Richard decided to write about exchanging letters with the soldiers

Synopsis During lunch, the students discussed about who should be Lady Liberty. Some of them

said mean things about the other students. Richard was shocked when Peggy Mason said that it would not be patriotic if Mrs.

Hansen selected Hannah, even if she deserved it. A few days later, Richard was announced as the boy with the best essay. Hannah had won the role of Lady Liberty. The class was shocked Hannah then read her essay to the class. She said that real enemy wasn’t Germany or

other countries but the war itself When Hannah finished, Richard was the only student who applaud.
