ovember 22 We Give Thanks It is important that at one time of the year we think of the blessings we enjoy as Americans. Thanksgiving is the time set aside to remember those who have gone before us to preserve freedom. It is the time to remember the hardships and struggles of the first Americans and to think of those who are now making sacrifices. It is the time to thank God for our bounteous gifts - gifts that manifest themselves in the way we speak freely, attend school, and worship. Thanksgiving is as rich a tradition at Anderson as it is in every part of the United States. The assembly was a solemn one, but one that expressed the joy of Thanksgiving. The many voices of Andersonls choirs united, singing poignant words of thanks. The music reveals to each person the foun- dation of his hopes, plans, and dreams -our American her- itage of freedom.
