Personal Notes
Christmas times are here again,
and it seems but as yesterday when
we celebrated the birth of Christ in
1924. This time did not seem so
short when we older ones were
young. Neither does it seem SO
short to the younger people today.
Possibly we can speak mostly TO
those who are away from their
homes at Colleges and we are glad
TO mention those that are home for
their Christmas holiday vacation.
