IT COULD BE YOU
”I can't find my apple anywhere.
I know it was in my locker this
morning."
"That's nothing, I left fifty cents
in my coat pocket and it's not there
now."
"Well, somebody was kind enough
to put my library book back after
three weeks,"
These are a few of the comments
you might hear at recess. There's
always the chance that the money was
misplaced or that the apple was left
hcmie on the kitchen table. We all
hope that was the case. But there
have been too many "lost books" and
too much "misplaced money" lately.
Four words inscribed on this years'
class rings are "truth, loyalty,
wisdom, and honor." These virtues are
all equally important. They are
traits we should all have.
If we won every basketball game,
I’eceived all the football trophies and
had everyone making good grades 5 and
still it could be said "Smithfield
High has some students who aren't
honest" the objective of education
and the efforts of our facility would
he wasted.
It has been said that almost
every person in prison heartily regrets
the first dishonest thing he ever did.
Let's hope none of us ever have to
have that regret.

HOMAGE TO THE CHxlIST-CHILD
The Christmas season is the
only time of the year when we really
think seriouslj^ about unselfish
giving and loving our fellow man.
It is quite fitting that we should
manifest our love for our fellow
man at the celebration of the birth
of Christ, who was God's supreme
gift for love, -t is wonderful that
we render aid to those in need,
support our churches, and extend
heartiest greetings even to our
enemies. However, it is a shame that
we think of these things only at
Christmastime. Of course, we want
to pay homage to the Christ-child, but
the greatest homage we could pay
would be to live for our fellow man
each day of the year. It was He
himself who said: "Whosoever has done
it unto the least of these, my brethen,
has done it unto me."
