That’s why these individuals and groups go out at their way on occasion to do something really worthwhile, and at considerable expenditure of time and effort. One of Nyssa’s finest hours came last Friday evening when members of the Chamber of Commerce showed their appre ciation to members at the comm unity with i free pancake stgper. and fed 1,800 people. These chamber members planned, rooked, served and worked together in a most successful event, and the* enjoyed it as much as the many who were fed. People who came not only enjoyed the feed, but stayed around to visit with friends and neighbors. They enjoyed the music put on by the students. and the young ones got to visit w .th Santa Claus. Not an earth-shattering event as we compart it with the commercial events preceding Christmas that we see all around us, and oc television. More a home town, home- spun kind of an affair that makes everyone who participates share a warm feeling. A newcomer to Nyssa was overheard telling one of the chamber members that -this is why 1 moved to a small town.” The coming weekend is chock full of another of Nyssa's finest hours. Friday afternoon and all day Saturday Nyssa High School and Mel Calhoun's wrestling organization is host to 25 wrestling teams and over 250 wrestlers from Idaho, Oregon and on* from Washington Literally, Nyssa is the wrestling capita, at the Northwest for a weekend, and not many high school events of this kind are more successful. For one entire two-day period the finest of the area’s athletes perform on three mats in the gym. and the represen tation from the big schools from Boise. Caldwell. Nampa as well as the many smaller schools speaks well for the organization and the quality of the event put on here. It takes many people to put on an event of this size and quality, and none are better than the Nyssa Invitational. Then on Sunday evening area singers will again put on the beautiful and sacred presentation of Handel’s Messiah”. Here again, a community effort with singers representing the adult community as well as choral groups from various levels within the Nyssa schools. The high school concert cbqiz and the c smmumiy choir will cMBtine their efforts tc present the Messiah" is the first half of tV program Then m the star d half these groups will join a teg* school choir and the elementary choir n> Christmas soegs and carols. The audience will participate in these, again this year under the direction of Gary Condon »hat better way to usher in the Christmas season? The point we would make here is that these affairs aren’t attended by a small group of proud parents or staunch supporters, but by large representative parts of the overall community. l,80C at the pancake feed. Literally thousands at the two-day wrestling event, and over 1,000 each year for the oratorio. Events Like these, and our Thunderegg Lays each August, demonstra:- what organization, dedication and community enter prise can do. Partr ipat.on in these activities make small town living worthwhile We feel sorry for those wbc for whatever reason can’t feel a part of, or participate m, these most successful events Ministerial Association News Nvssa and Adrian J Last Sunday night, December 3, the churches td Nyssa con ducted their first "Sing-ln” cd the 1973, Key 73 program. ft was held al the Christian Church. The next Sing-In" will beat the Um ted Methodist Chur ct and will feature talent from all the churches of Nvssa. Fellowship and refreshments will follow the "Sing-la”. The Nyssa-Adrian Ministerial Association will present the Singing C hristmas Tree oc Mair. Street this Christmas Season. There will be two performances each evening December 21-23 and on the afternoon of Sunday, December 24. A choral group from the Junior High School will present an early perfor mance and during the evening a group made up of singers from the various churches will sing. Gary Condon will direct and Kathy Flanders will be accompanying. The first practice for the church group will be Decem- ber 18 at the United Metbo- list Church at 7:30 p.m. AH those who have registered to sing should be at the practice.

Mrs. Robert Ure, a Univer sity of Oregon student, recently finished her student teaching experience in the Nyssa Higt, School where she worked closely with the English De partment and w as lAiviously very aware of the entire high school program Her letter to the Editor appeared in the Nyssa High School BULLDOGS member20. 1972. Dear Editor Since becoming, at least in part, a member of Nvssa High School, I have noticed that stu dents her* are the ben» factors of a better than average edu cation. a choice of man* extra curricular activities, and much freedom Sadly, however, 1 have also noted that these same stu dents are unaware of their good fortune. Their fortune lies first of all in their education. There are very few small schools in the United States where such a wide curriculum is »€fered and such outstanding teaching is available. Most small schools are content to offer the regular English, for a curriculum which offered Science Fiction would take a major organizational ef fort. Your teachers have taken the time to make this change, and therefore to make YOUR classes interesting. Not only does Nyssa High School offer a »ide variety al subjects in its curriculum, but also offers its students much mor* freedom than the average high school. Students are ' on their own” doing individual work in many areas of science at all levels. The system works here because students seem to accept the responsibility of tbeir freedom and use it wisely to maintain it. You are lucky, not only be cause of your good educate», excellent teachers, and free dom. but also because you can be more than just an athlete at Nyssa High School. Not only is there football, wrestling, bas kettail. baseball, and track, but there is a chance to work cm the school paper, the Tupelo, a dra matic production. AFS, a choral production or an instrumental concert. As a student, you can choose to participate m any of these activities and others. Yau should be an involved partici pant for fur. and for your edu cation. Don’t let yourself be caught saying. But. that's for those other kids.” Th* chances are that ’those other kids" are doing everything LUC KY.
