remains that the people who remembered and
chronicled these events were impressed with the
:Eidca that the fundamental message of Jesus was
peace and good will.
This mesage is of equal importance to man with
?}the idea of giving which we associate chiefly with
;:-Christnum Humanity has made slow progress
:9" these 1900 years, chiefly because of the spirit
of ill will, hostility, and warfare that has filled the
i‘wnrld. Men have preyed on each other much as
wild beasts preyed on lesser orders of creation.
{Man with his remnant of bestial nature, has roam

LYNNWOOD—HIGH SCHOOL |
DEPARTMENT
From the very beginning of this
school term the pupils have shown
more interest than ever before, They
are in reality very intelligent and are
learning fast under the supervision
of their teacher. The pupils are not
only ifearning book knowledge but in
addition they are putting into prac
tice the art of true citizenship.
Unlike most pupils of this age they
are cnthused over the idea of learn
ing Latin and Geometry.
~ One passing along the roads by
Lynwood will notice the upkept build
ing and equally attractive grounds.
By the cooperation of the teachers
and parents we have three Basket
Ball courts and numerous seesaws,
where the smaller pupils amuse them
selves. Our teams are strong and
we are looking forward to many good
games this season. We all enjoy
this vibrating sport and feel assured
that we will be a match for any
teams. We want you all to come
out and visit our school as we feel
sure you will agree with us that it
is one worth boasting.
