Why We Have ldhanksgiving Actually I don't think we stop and think what Thanksgiving really is other than just having a feast and then seeing a hot digity football game between Roy Miller and W. B. Ray. I hope as you read this you will bear in mind really why we have Thanksgiving, and why we should take it in consideration. The Plymouth colonists celebrated their first Thanksgiving the second winter they were in Massachusetts. The first year they were in Mas- sachusetts so many of the colonists died they really had no reason to thank God for what he had given them. They celebrated Thanksgiving in the fall after the crops had been reaped. It took many days for the women and children to prepare the feast. They roasted, baked, and boiled for days, They invited the Indians to the feast also. Usually about eighty came. They brought deer meat and wild turkeys as their share, They had the feast outdoors and afterwards had prayers and sermons to thank God for what he had given them. After the ceremony the Indians re- turned to the forest and the colonists went back to their tasks. It is still a tradition to have tur- key and a feast on Thanksgiving. President Lincoln in 1863, issued that Thanksgiving be celebrated on the last Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is also a legal holi- day in Canada. On November 24-th, 1955, let's all take this into consideration and give forth with our thanks. Billy Clocking at the windmilljz My, but this is a fine modern farm. They even have an electric fan for the animals. Most beautiful girl-Linda Shoe- maker. Most handsome boy-Bill Walker. Best all-round girl-Angie Puente. Best all-round boy-Joe Weaver. You'll see the pictures of your fa- vorites in the annual. Don't be one of the 503 students who will be left out of the annual signing fun at the end of school. We have a wonderful F.H.A.
