Freeze, freeze though bitter sky
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot;
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp,
As a friend remembered not.
The title of the above poem is
"Ingratitude." Very few people
can get along without friends. Yet
very few people know the meaning
of friendship. You, no doubt, re
member that old saying, "a friend,
indeed, is friend in need" When
your friends are i'll, do you visit
them? When away, do you write
them? When needy, do you help
them? Are you always ready to
help them? If so, then, you are a
good friend. While on the sub
ject of friends: Received a letter
from one of my best friends, while
in my senior year in high school,
out on the coast. Gladys King is
an accomplished pianist and will be
presented in a concert in Minneap-
oils around Feb. l.

Dashing through the snow in a
one horse open sleigh. Doesn't
describe the sleigh ride last Satur-
day at the Eaton's Dude Ranch and
dance which followed at the Elks
Rest. Creeping through snow
in a two mule headed horses open
sleigh, describes the sleigh ride
better. Don't get me wrong, be-
cause the sleigh party was really
fun. Bubba Jackson, Peggy Apart
clio and Earl Weber were unfor.
Inmates, who fell off the sleigh, way
out in the wilderness and had tc
hoof it back to the Ranch house
tired and bewildered at their bad
luck. VirgeIIe Harper, Gloria
! ONeal, Joyce King, Shirley Jones
Louise Vassar, Carmitta Hit, Lois
Hayes, Chester Oden, Paul Ray
Jackie Jackmar. Ralph Jones, Sid
ncy Peck and just scads Of others
were there, enjoying themselves by
singing, dancing, playing in the
snow. All having a hilarious time.
After the sleigh ride the dance
held in the upstairs Of the Elks
Rest was strictly on the ball. Noun
tdins Of doughnuts and gallons of
coffee were quickly devoured. Open
air activities really gives a fellow
a hearty appetite. An end of a per
feet evening. 80.
Sunday night hit the Inn for a
quick minute. Usual crowd and
music. Ended up by bowling at the
U Dept. Last and in a way
least, | want to correct a printing
error which should have said | saw
Edgar and Carmen dancing to-
gether, not going together. (Under-
stand)
That's it-see you next week Il
hOpe).
