the graduating class that in the
chaotic state of the world in which
they were soon to take an active
part, their personal aims must be
lofty, that they should never accept
compromises nor bring their ambi-
tons to a lower plane than the
dreams toward which they had be-
gun marching. Each individual
must conscientiously strive to do
his part toward the achievement
of permanent world peace.
The program concluded with =
hymn, LEAD On, o King Eternal"
followed by the benediction by the
Rev. Overton and the occasional.

The class night program on Mon
day night was well attended and
the events Of the evening were
thoroughly enjoyed by all. DOreen
Midget, Salutatorian, made the
address of welcome. The history of
the Class of 1851 was presented
in the form of a one-act play in
which each member took part in
the re-enactment of signal events
in the chronicle of the class. Robert
Williams was the narrator for a
telecast Of the class prophecy,
which took the form of a televised
program from Manteo dramatizing
the personals from the Coastland
Times of 1871.
Rose Austin read the class poem.
The last will and testament of the
class was made, codicil by codicil,
as each class member consulted
Attorney w. H. McCown about the
requests he wished to make. Giftor-
ian Hudean O'Neal presented each
senior small gift and accompan-
led the presentation by reciting a
clever and appropriate jingle.
The valedictory address on world
peace was made by Maxine Scar
borough.

Christmas: Good Time;
A Kind. ForoiYina Time

Charles Dickens once referred to
Christmas as "a good time; a kind,
forgiving, charitable, pl e a t
time" This is an adequate descrip-
ton of the Christmas spirit. Why
not make this an old fashioned
Christmas?
deliberately planned parties, those
great time-takers, should not be a
part of the Christmas scene. A
honey, hospitable gct-together will
create an atmosphere in which
everyone can relax.
Since Christmas is really "the
children's hour, why not give them
a greater part in preparing for the
day? Children will get more deligh'
from helping prepare and decorate
the tree than in seeing only the
finished product.
