And now let’s come back to our
days. And see ourselves in the
Future Lies At Night
Thanksgiving. Only a word that
means turkey and no classes; or
something more?
What does it mean for you?
For almost everyone of us it is
only those things, but who
remembers that in an old day, it
was the expression of a few men
and women giving thanks to God
for protecting them, for helping
them to build this country where
you live today, where many
people died for this country.
Think, think just a little about
it; think with your heart and with
the flag in front of you; try to
imagine those hard days of
colonization.
Let’s try to go back in time. In
the mountains, surrounded by big
green trees, is a small cabin of
wood; from the chimney, some
smoke comes out dancing on the
wind of the afternoon. Let’s look
inside. There, near the fire-place
where a big pan hangs, is a
woman. She is young, with blonde
hair and blue eyes; in her face a
smile is drawn by happiness of
the life. She is cooking a turkey,
today is one year after the first
Thanksgiving, one year of hard
work.
In a comer of the big hall,
which is kitchen, library, dining
room and living-room at the
same time, a man is reading a
book. He sits in an English style
arm-chair, one of the few things
he keeps of his old country. The
light comes in through the win
dow and covers his face; a pipe

young and strong, but the hands
of time are revealed in him. The
music of some children’s voices
complete the warm picture. They
are playing on the floor, near the
big table made of dark wood.
All these people are living an
important moment. They will
have a meal, and then will pray,
giving thanks to God for being so

Wednesday night, December 1,
is College “Day” Night. College
representatives will talk with
students and parents in regular
classrooms, 7:30-9:00, to inform
them of educational op
portunities.
According to Mrs. Jenece
Smith, guidance counselor, one
reason for the change of time this
year is that a night program will
allow students more time to in
vestigate college choices. Also,
the classroom interviews may be
more relaxed than were the in
terviews in the gym last year.
Parents are encouraged to talk
with representatives. This year’s
program will be the first op
portunity most parents have had
to attend a College Day.
Mrs. Smith further explained,
this night is an ideal time for
juniors to begin making college
choices. The night will be open to
sophomores also, a change this
year. It has been impossible for
sophomores to attend during the
day. Students who have
