Read the paragraph about conducting school locker searches.

a school has the right to search student lockers to keep things safe for all students and the community at large. education and safety are a school’s biggest responsibilities. unfortunately, lockers can become a container for dangerous items that do not belong in a school setting. studies have shown that when a safety issue regarding one or more students arose, evidence relating to the situation was often found in student lockers—notes, weapons, and other items that had to be confiscated. however, when students are aware that lockers are subject to unscheduled searches, they often think of other ways to store their belongings; items are instead concealed in backpacks, pockets, and purses, which are much more accessible to students.

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.
