Show GIVE THANKS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS Whenever Thankgiving time rolls around each year, we, of course,, always begin dreaming of turkey and all the trimmings. So much enjoyment is gotten out of these thoughts that we refrain from thinking about the real reason and meaning for Thanksgiving. Stop, and think why Thanksgiving was originated. It wasnt just thought up so that we could have a rest from school work or have many good things to eat. Thanksgiving was declared a holiday because our forefathers, who had fought and died in this building of this wonderful country of ours, had finally reached the starting point of the United States of America. Just recently our own fathers, brothers, and uncles, fought for the same America that our ancestors made. Has all of this been in vain, or do we appreciate the many blessings we have gained ? Lets all think about this for a minute and then, each and everyone of us, give thanks for the blessings we enjoy. Talents in our School by Joetta Billings Now listen kids LOVE LORN COLUMN HALL CLOSET by Yes, Sandra Beecroft Dear Madam another day has dawned and would like to know how I can stow away on a Slow Boat to JapI as always, we come sleepy eyed into the well used halls of our old BY Hi.

I like two girls And another ones got I, I guess Im what you call an old sly. Please give me an answer To help me out, I I If you would, Im sure it would cure my gout. R. 4 A Dear R, If you are going steady with the one girl and you like them both, stop going steady and also the gout may stop, she may be whats caus- ing it. P. S. You might also take Pink-am- s Pink Pills for Pink People. Dear Madam Y, My boy friend asked me to go steady with him. My parents, however, dont like him and they dont want me to see him any more. I like him a lot and I want to go with him. How can I persuade my parents that I should be allowed to go with him? C Dear C, This is a problem that many high school boys and girls face. Perhaps there is really a reason why your parents object to your boy friend. You should talk it over with them very seriously and usually your mother and father are looking out for your happiness and you should respect their judgment. If there is a definite reason why they dont like your boy friend, find it out and maybe you can see it their way. If they cant give you a good reason, perhaps they dont know him very well. You should bring him to your house and let them see why you like him so much and then they might feel differently toward the situation. Madam Y.
