WHAT HAPPENS TO lOUR TIME?
You may think that grades are just
Something that teachers harp on and edi
tors write editorials about. If you be
long to this class, sit down and think
for a few minutes. Unless you are one
^f those rare individuals who do chemi
cal equations and Latin translations
just for the heck of it, you probably
^"hink that a basketball game is more fun
fhan studying for that six weeks test,
1 agree with you; however, have you ever
thought of the possibility that you can
Pi'operly prepare for the test and go to
the game too? Don't you say there isn't
time for both until you have thought a
few more seconds.
Remember that half-an-hour you
spent talking to Jerry about that cute
junior girl. Recall those ten minutes
Used for di scuss.i.ng what to wear to Su
sie's party Friday night. Think about
how long it took to drink Khat coke at
Creech's, Put all of that wasted time
together and you have just enough to
give you an ample study period.
Your four years of high school are
’''‘ery important; they should contain both
study and play.
Learn to budget your time wisely.
Allot some time for extra lessons such
music and dancing, for sports, and
f'^r church activities. Eiiminate all that
^uste motion between such things; see if
there isn't quite enough time left for
just having fun.
Exams are creeping up on us. Let's
get that studying done instead of
spending valuable time griping about
a large assignment. Let's make our par
ents and teachers proud of our achieve

CHRISTMAS FEELINGS
With "Jingle Bells" on our lips
and warmth in our hearts, we're all
looking forward to the season of that
jolly old gentlemen in the red suit.
Stores have long since displayed their
Christmas wares, and colored lights are
spreading their brilliance downtown and
in many homes. Already people are jost
ling and rubbing elbows in the pre-
Christmas rush. Old hiding places are
cleaned and stocked well with lavish
surprises.
Yes, that "Christmas Feeling" is
filling the air with expectancy, with
exuberance,. And though it's an eld,
much-used theme, there's something else
mingled in among the tinsel and trim
mings — a feeling almost indefinable,
settling down over all, touching every
nook and cranny, cowsing through veins,
A stnry so old, yet one that is renewed
each year, intertwining itself within
our hearts — a story that lasts, that
grows, that remains after another story
has been outgrown and cast aside.
And so, while we're looking for
ward to the season of that j.olly old
gentleman, we're also looking forward
to a trajuiuin it,y^ and a reverence to
take us through the oomnng year.
Merry Chrj stmas
With loads of cheer
And a very successful
Happy New^ Year I',
