Our Christmas Tree
Christmas 1921
’ I is Christmas again—the season of laughter
and youth. With a lift of spirit and a warmiug
of heart, six joins hands with sixty to celebrate
the happy occasion. No one escapes the spell.
Only a day—but on this day the old grow young
and the youth throws off the grasp of time.
fl Up lifes winding course and through the ages
change constantly bites at the heel of habit and
custom. T he romantic stagecoach has given
place to steam and speed. Electricity has snuf
ted the soft beam of candle light, even the tink
ling sleighbell has been drowned in the roar of
motor horns. Yet youth knows naught of the
ho will say
old age—gladly accepts the new
that spirits were keener or smiles brighter at the
Christmases of our fathers than they are today?

Education uf any kind ha* two value* value a* Knowledge,
and value a* Ihanpiin«*. Beatdra it* use|for guidance in conduct,
the learning of order of facts ha* also its use aa mental exernae.
Education cannot tie acquired without pain* and application.
It may be troublesome and deep digging for pure water, but when
you once strike the spring* they rise up and meet you. Many
have thought the idea to obtain an education to help a man or
woman to appear advantageounlv upon the theatre, especially, of
public life, their youth must be spent within the walls of some
classical place of learning that they might commence their career
under the high floating banner* of fame and success.
By gaining a good edncation you ahall have your reward in
the rich store of knowledge you have thus collected, and which
•hall alway* l>* at your ednimand. It is more valuable than any
earthly treasure while fleru may sink, bank* may totter, and
riches flee, you have the intellectual investment* made permanent
and enduring.
