Although the Old Year is diving ant
the New Year is coming into vogu,
as this article is written, we neverthe
\ less feel like saying I'VE welcome
you, New Year, and will try diligently
10 make your stay with US very con
genial and happy" However. it i.
wise to think seriously for a few min
utes of the old year. for many times
; the old things are nearer and dearer
especially father and mother. than the
new, and should be esteemed very
highly and courteously II was the
old year that lifted us from 1.-The
slough Of despond" in the educational
world; it was the old year that made
John BarleycOrn's funeral possible on
January l6. 1920; it was the old year
that caused the industrial world to
demand a speedy ratification Of the
treaty OF Peace; and it was the old
year that gave us more love for our
nome, our neighbors and our God.
Now we earnestly hope that it may
be possible to have the New Year help
materialize many nobler things than
these and help to make man feel above
everything else that he must be an
entity for good if the Christian ideals
are to be somewhat attained

Georgetown high school, won the first

the community in general. Hurrah
for Bessie!
