But Remember The Meaning Yes, Thanksgiving is ever for 1960. But what about it» meaning? Many students had been waiting for Thanksgiving since August 29 because it meant a vacation from school. Others may have thought of themselves as Davy Crookett and shot the Tern Turkey they ate ft»r that early afternoon feast. But of course, just eating on this occasion was enough for many. And Thanksgiving also brought many- Wa.kerton High School students to church. While doing any one of these things during Thanksgiving day, every student must have stopped tc think about that day at least once. If he did, he could have been thankful for the fact that we are the most fortunate people in the world. We live in a country which the world looks to as a Christian nation. We, as U. S. citizens, can and should enjoy this inalienable freedom. W’e live in the mid-western section of the greatest country in the world. Often we strongly disagree, but we actually are privileged to have at least a high school education. Thanking God for these things on Thanksgiving seemed like the natural, customary thing to de on that day, but how kmg are YOU going to make this overall feeling last into every day? Will ycu have the same feeling at Christmas time, or will you think only of the gifts YOU received? Or maybe you have already put up your Christmas tree and started collecting gifts. Teo many people forget the real meaning of the holiday season before it hardly gets started. Will YOU remember?
