Even though it was cloudy on the
morn of Thanksgiving Eve sunshine
could be seen in the broad, ear-reach-
ing smile of Louis Greene as he
mounted the stage before his assem-
bled schoolmates to entertain them
with the history of Thanksgiving fes-
rivals. In clear, unwavering voice
he brought us back to the ancient
