Gladness prevails, hearts are light, the spirit of love and human kindness and thoughts of good will fill the minds of men. New Years Day, 1959, will mark another full year in which the tragedy of war hasnot marred the lives of our people. Many homes will'misS the presence of young men who are in th$ armed forces, but the comforting fact that peace prevails will engender in our hearts a fervent hope that men may yet learn to live as neighbors who can settle their differences without the. tragedy of war. At this time, may we be inspired to increase our interest in the welfare of others and we can that our kearts may be lifted by the Jiop of the past year, and a desire to efforts to approach the New Year show our appreciation for the many blessings we enjoy. i WEBSTER SCHOOL HAS PICTURE OF UNUSUAL Pictured above is a of each child from the Webster School 4th grades in a ne mural that covers wall of the main school hallway.

Having never sung this role, necessitated Glades learning it m one weeks time under the coaching of the Baltimore Companys artistic director, Miss Ponselle.
