Or perhaps even of your own! All too often in our hurry- up age carelessness becomes one of its chief by-products. From the very onset young first graders are taught correct manuscript letter form and are encouraged and trained in accuracy. Cursive writing is begun in the latter half of the sec- ond grade and is actively pursued throughout the elementary years. Students are taught not to be satisfied with a mediocre job but to strive for perfection. As work loads and the need for more uni- formity increases, typing takes on a more im- portant role. High School students Q7-12 gradesj are required to take two years of typ- ing some time during their remaining years. More than just fulfilling a requirement, stud- ents find typing a valuable asset as added in- centive to Written assignments. They are instructed and practice exclusive- ly on IBM Selectrics, which respond at the slightest touch of the finger. Interchangeable type styles for the machine permit greater flexibility and versatility for creative typing. By simply removing one type ball and re- placing it with another, such as italics or cur- sive, a more expressive paper can be com- posed. X .SJ

Imperial Faculty And Student Body Give T A beautiful day dawned on that last Thursday in the month of November, the year 1621. This was a special day, a day set apart by the Pilgrims imme- diately after their first harvest for the purpose of giving thanks to God for their many blessings, The traditional Thanksgiving Day has remained to the present. The last Thursday of November, 1965, was thoroughly enjoyed by the students and faculty members of Imperial Schools. At four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, November 24, classes were dismissed for a four day recess. On this special day, most sat down to a table abundantly laden with foods composing the largest meal of the year. Some of the favorite foods enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day were baked turkey, deliciously seasoned dressing, baked sweet-potatoes swimming in a sea of marshmallow sauce, and homemade EQ X4 1217 ' fn VT-Q W jk, W las. . .,V,.. g ww- fe-f-MQ fr ' H: V I 'A ff. 1,3 2 l 1 Q XR -frr . an El 4 jk?

Perhaps your favorite course was the dessert of pump- kin or mince pie for' bothj topped with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream. Maybe one of the reasons for having a four day recess was to allow more time to enjoy all the food. Our day of Thanksgiving must not be restricted to just one day, but it must be observed each day of the year. ln addition to the food we all enjoy so much we must include our parents, our home, our school, our teachers, and above all, the promises for the future.
