THANKSGIVING In 1620 our pilgrim fathers decided to brave the mighty waves of the Atlantic and seek a new world in which to establish religious freedom, rather than to submit to the religious oppressors. They were successful in establishing a colony. The next year the crops were very good and food was plentiful. Directly after this, their first harvest, these God-fearing New Englanders set apart a day for Thanksgiving and rejoicing. They realized that God in His own impotent wisdom and mercy, had prospered them. They were ex ceedingly joyful, and in their turn desired to recognize and give thanks unto Him from whom all the blessings came. This first cele bration was held at Plymouth and was attended by some friendly Indians, who brought wild venison and wild turkey to the feast. It was only a few years later that the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Connecticut followed the wise example of the Puritans. The Dutch, of the New Netherlands, set apart a day for thanksgiving in 1644. The Continental Congress appointed one or more Thanks giving days during the Revolutionary War, except in 1777. George Washington appointed a day for Thanksgiving in 1789 and another in 1795. In 1812 President Madison proclaimed a day of Thanks giving. The custom met some opposition, but in 1858 it had become so popular that the governors of twenty-five states and two territories issued Thanksgiving proclamations. President Lincoln, that wise and noble statesman, proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November, 1864, a day of Thanksgiving. Since that time each President has proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November Thanksgiving day, a (l&y when all the citizens of the United States are invited to turn their minds and hearts towafd God and thank Him for the many blessings that they have received. Formerly Thanksgiving was a day of family reunions, a day of feasting, a day of worship and rejoicing. Now we have our religious services in some large church, where a great throng representing all denominations come together in a spirit of worship and thankfulness. We have a reunion of our college family, and many of our Alumni are welcomed back home. We usually have our last and biggest football game of the season. Let us remember to partake as our forefathers did of all three; worship ping and giving thanks, rejoicing and feasting. —E C— BACK THE TEAM BY GIVING THEM SWEATERS In each of our major sports men spend much time and energy preparing themselves to represent our college, and thereby to repre sent us. If a man enters any of our major sports, he must be willing to spend about three hours per day in actual training; and in case he is injured, it may take much more time dressing wounds, etc. He must be willing to make up his work that he has lost while away on trips. Of course, the men receive much good training that will aid them in later life. However, it seems that it would be advisable for the student body to show their appreciation of the work that the men do on the athletic teams by giving them some concrete evidence of that appre ciation. The classes have voted to give the letter men in the three major sports, sweaters bearing a large “E.” This is an excellent idea and I should be commended. It will add to the interest of each player and thereby add to the interest of the whole team. Half of this money •will be raised by assessment of the student body and faculty, and the other half will come from the proceeds of the motion picture. Some time between now and May five pictures will be put on, at which time each adult attending will be expected to pay twenty-five cents. These pictures are just as good as, and many of them better, than those that you pay from forty to fifty cents to see in larger towns. It is hoped that the students and others will attend these pictures and help to pay for the sweaters that the men so justly dserve. Howdy-doo, ladies and gents. Here are some of the results of my eaves dropping and snooping surreptitiously about in shady alleys and dark corners. Felinely yours, Oscar. —Meow, meow!— “Prof.” Rhodes: "Why is it dif- fult for me to' find my ideal?” Mabel Alexander: '‘Because women are looking for their ideals too, sir.” girl is sleeping by the desk, disturb not her dreams. ” Another: “I do not like young girls; I’ll tell you the reason why: They sre so fickle and flirty I’m afraid they’ll never die.” —Har harl— W. A. Weston rushed into Mr. Col- congh’s ofSce the other day and said: “I want to pay my radiator fees? Mr. Colclough: Your radiator fees? Weston: Yes, I’ve paid my radiator fees to three different sophomores, but they didn’t give me a receipt. I want to pay them to you so I can get a re ceipt. I always like to' pay what I owe, but I don’t like to pay a thing so many times. A. D. Pate & Co. PRINTERS Telephone 216 Corner Davis & Worth BURLINGTON, N. C. WHO IS YOUE FAVORITE?

She hopes that by ex posing those who are caught in the act she can reduce the number who try to socialize and “get by with it.” Following are the couples who have had the misfortune to be caught for the third time the past week: Tom Sawyer and Alleene Allbright; William Edgerton nad Mildred Arledge; Percy Hudson and Grace Wright. —Scat again, durn ye!— Prof. Martin; “Miss Holt, how much tea was destroyed at the Boston Tea Party?” Mabel Holt: “I don’t know, but I think it was about twelve or thirteen pitcherfuls.” —Tee hee!— It is reported that “Major,” a fam ous woman hater, has succumbed to the little ‘ ‘ microbe of love. ’ ’ His poetry is really worth while and is in great demand by the other lyve-siek swains. The following is a good example: “My On November 10 each class met and elected four representatives to enter the class favorite contest. The cost of a vote is the small sum of a penny.

There are loved ones who are missing From the fireside and the feast; There are faces that have vanished, There are voices that have ceased; But we know they’ve passed forever From our mortal grief and pain, And we thank Thee, O our Father, For the blessings that remain. Thanksgiving, oh, thanksgiving, That their love once blessed us here, That so long they walked beside us Sharing every smile and tear; For the joy the past has brought us But can never take away, For the sweet and gracious memories Growing dearer every day, For the faith that keeps us patient Looking at the things unseen, Knowing spring shall fo-llow winter And the earth again be green, For the hope of that glad meeting Far from mortal grief and pain— We thank Thee, 0 our Father, For the blessings that remain. For the love that still is left us, For the friends who hold us dear, For the lives that yet may need us For their guidance and their cheer, For the work that waits our doing. For the help we can bestow, For the care that watches o’er us Wheresoe’er our steps may go, For the simple joys of living, For the sunshine and the breeze, For the beauty of the flowers And the laden orchard trees, For the night and for the starlight, For the rainbow and the rain— Thanksgiving, 0 our Father, For the blessings that remain. “Get It At Acme” Burlington’s Most Accommodating Druggists Arme Drug Co.
