Christmas Takes Over Southeastern
As the Christmas Season
approaches, we are aware of the
many occurrences which we long
for and desire with all our
hearts. We long for the cease of
riots and uprisings which
threaten our country today. We
long for .the cease of a war,
which we did not invent but
must in some way end. We long
for democracy, for strong, firm
leaders. We long for the courage
to face the things we cannot
change, but to change the things
we can. We long for acceptance
in a fast and cruel society.
As individuals we also long for
many things. We wish to go back
to the days of Santo Claus,
peppermint candy, and holly
trimmed trees. But life is now,
and we are intelligent enough to
realize this.
However, we still wish ti
acquire the same feelings that wi
so easily were granted as a child
The joy of Christmas is alway
with us, the carols have no
changed, the Christmas stor!
will forever be the same. Tb
warm fellowship with ou
fellow-men and families is mot
obvious during the Christma
Season so we naturally have thi
joy. Laughter is louder and tea^
are softer when bells are ringinj
and the whole world is joyous
Though we know that th
whole world is not joyous w
must try to find real joy fo
ourselves and accept th'
conditions which seem unlikely
to be changed before the magid
day. And, by being joyous if
ourselves, maybe we can expres
true joy to others around us.
Students decorate the annual SCC Christmas tree for the Christmas spirit at Southeastern.
Christmas Approaches
If there is no joyous way to
give a festive gift, give love away.
Blessed is the season which
engages the whole world in a
conspiracy of love.
Hamilton Wright Mable
What is Christmas? It is
tenderness for the past, courage
for the present, hope for the
future. It is a fervant wish that
every cup may overflow with
blessings rich and eternal, and
every path may lead to
that
peace.
Feeling of My Soul
The World keeps going
Whether I live or die
the day turns into night
Whether I loaf or try.
Funny, how I live each day
But not really living at all
Just existing in my self-made Hell
Falling, stumbling, All along the way.
My God, My God, rid me of this pain
Change my name
Change my Fate,
But my words are all in vain.
I listen to the whisper of the four winds
To try to hear my change of Fate
Patiently waiting, forever waiting
But the miracle, he never sends.
What could I give give?
What could I say?
For the chance
to live another way.
You wonder if I’m satisfied
But I’m not.
It’s plain to see.
So I’ll probably go
Even on searching
Thought the answer is found in me.
