A Year 'Round Job
Tomorrow Thanksgiving will be here and Ameri
cans will be dashing over the river and through the
woods to a nice big house equipped with everything
imaginable.
All will be sitting down with a long appetite at a
long table where a long turkey will have been placed.
What a great day it will be with the family and an
abundance of food and a fine house.
Yes, Thanksgiving is a time of plenty, and it is
the day set aside to stop and give thanks for many
good fortunes the day to "count blessings."
But, instead of thanking, perhaps we should be
asking for a few things. Perhaps we should ask for
such things as wisdom to recognize our advantages
and be grateful for them ; for thoughtf ulness for oth
ers and their privileges. Perhaps we should ask for
help in appreciating our good fortunes and being sin
cerely thankful for what we have, as well as help in
making the most of what we have.
What a pity that the art of saying thanks has
come to be such a minor thing and that we set aside
only one day in which to do it. What a profitable
thing it would be to the human character if Thanks
giving could be only the beginning of gratitude and
, that practicing thankfulness could be made an every
day project.
Loud Rings the Praise
Football season is over. New names are on the
trophies in the hall. New letters are worn proudly on
the jackets.
The seniors watched the season end sadly to
them go our praise. For the juniors and the sopho
mores and freshmen, there is the promise of another
year, other victories; but the seniors have put away
their uniforms for the last time.
What is a letter besides an A-shaped emblem?
Why is it worn so proudly? Is it because it stands for
Ashland High? Is it because it symbolizes the glory
of the football team?
It is all that and more. It's just a little piece of
felt, but it shows that the one who wears it has learn
ed to give his all, win or lose. It shows that he
has learned to work as a part of a team, to drive to
ward a goal. It is his visible proof that he has gained
the worthy virtue of sportsmanship, and that he is
now les3 a boy than a man.
Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
I have received a letter from
a Coos Bay hotel that I feel is
worthy of print in the Rogue
News. I have a feeling of pride
when I receive nice compli
ments about our students.
