Thanksgiving at H.D.A. - a day of traditional joy with thrilling games of volley ball, basketball, and football between the Blues and Whites. Competition is keen and enthusiasm high as victories are won, not simply in scores but in individual lives in teamwork and sportsmanship. Lunch on the lawn under the oak trees is not only traditional but deliciously satisfying. While outdoor games continue, other activity takes place indoors, and the loveliness of the crystal dining room is heightened by colorful flowers and traditional Thanksgiving decorations of Pilgrims and turkeys. Banquet tables are artistically decorated with overflowing cornucopias of fruit and flowers, attractive turkey nut cups, and paperwood pro- gram booklets made by the students. Soon sport togs are exchanged for formal evening attire, and radiant ladies and gentlemen enter the candlelit banquet hall for a delicious and delightful repast. Following the program, the class officers begin the Thanksgiving testimonies, and during the Thanks- giving season the entire student body has opportunity to praise the Lord for His goodness. The traditional Hymn of Thanks- givingv closes a most happy day. f ,, ,K w f 54 an i ili xf Ffa L .
