This Thursday being Thanksgiv-
ing, the Main Street staff hope
that you will find it to the utmost.
Over three hundred years ago
our pilgrim forefathers held their
first Thanksgiving festival for the
purpose of expressing their thanks
for a bountiful harvest and for 9TH
er blessings they had enjoyed.
Thanksgiving was celebrated after
that but not every year. Since
1868 each President has proclaimed
the last Thursday of November as
a day to be set aside for us to
give thanks for all the blessings
of the year. However, this year
President Roosevelt proclaimed the
fourth Thursday of the month as
Thanksgiving Day, but many of
the Governors have followed the
traditional practice of proclaiming
the last Thursday of the month as
Thanksgiving Day. Whether we
have held our Thanksgiving on the
23rd or will have it on the 30th
every American citizen should be
thankful for this wonderful coun-
try in which he lives, for his home,
family and friends, for the public
school system, and his freedom of
religious thought. Perhaps, this
year, he should be most thankful
that the United States is not at
war with the European nations.

THIS'N THAT ABOUT SIR. HI.
Finally the big and important
day for the juniors came Friday.
A salute should be made to Miss
Swanson for being able to coach
such a grand play. For four whole
weeks the cast practiced every
night. They had to give up great
deal of other activities, so that
they could make this play a sue
cess. After seeing that play, 1
think that everyone in the audience
should be able to set up an iron
ing board just a little bit easier
than Jim Arneson, but he did try
and finally succeeded. Again /
would like to tell the cast and di-
rector that they presented a Won
derful play.
SPORTS
Sank Centre high school opens its
1939-40 basketball season next Fri
day, Dec. 1, with St. Cloud, on the
st. Cloud floor. The Sank Centre
basketball players have had a fine
attitude toward practice and so far
have perfect attendance. AL
though there is lack of material,
for there are only a few lettermen
back, most of them are green in the
ways of basketball experience. Joe
Jackson is not in practice just now
because of an injured leg suffered
during the football season. The
schedule looks pretty tough with
some of the "bigges' coming early
in the season. They will have to
play good basketball to pull through
this schedule in good order.
SENIOR HI CLASSES
Mr.. Harvey has been attempting
to teach his social classes how to
study by the use of concentration.
That word has been used so many
times in the past week among the
senior students that it has become
a trite. He told us to study and
then timed us for a period Of II
Misunderstanding every one. At
the end of that time he told us
who had and who had not concen-
trated and how to correct our
faults.
or course the end of the six
weeks brings those dreadful six
weeks tests. The chief trouble is
that all the tests fall on the same
day and so it makes an awful lot
Of reviewing and examining in one
night.
Miss Wilson's English classes
have been writing business letters.
They completed a study of the
newspaper by carefully going over
one and answering a set Of ques-
tions supplied by Miss Wilson. The
latter part of the week was spent
in reading The Readers Digest and
then discussing them.
