Viake more friends; enemies don’t pay. la* ugh at your ‘misfortune ■ this y. , 4 r resolving to make better next year. -Lot nothing stand in the way of jroimr forward in 1925. - Observe the Golden Rule. --Lay away selfishness. Lay atide the hammer, don’t be a knocker, but a booster. Last let our motto be: “That we strive to be worthy of the many things that life affords us.” —Seventh Grade WHAT LIFE IS WITHOUT AN EDUCATION A life without an education is what 1 would call a failure, but sometimes people get by that have an education. The ones that do get by khough are just uicky and as the old saying gees, they just got by. by the “ kin of: their t eh.” There are some people who have some education, and by taking in all they hear from educated people, they will finally get a fairly good education. The men and women to-day who have no education what ever, have no positions, (or at least not many of them), but if you Lave some education and try to b urn more, by taking the advice of educated people, you can usually find some kind of a job that you are capable of holding. But always remember that the ones who have sx good education will .always get the best positions in life. For the world today is calling for educated men and women everywhere. Now, l hope that these things will show you the importance of having an education and also the advantages that the well educated man has over the uneducated. Let’s ■every one make the most of our op portunities and try to get an edu cation . For you can imagine what a dull, uninteresting life you will load without an education. —Edwin Hart, ’25 WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE PATIENCE Do you know what it means to have patience? You have probably never thought what it. is to be pa tient. But let us take for example one of our studies. Perhaps it is very difficult and you do not like to study it, and if you are impatient you will just drop it and say, “Oh! wed, I can't leiun this, and, any way, it wont ever do me any good. But if you take the boy or girl that has the thing that we need so much in life—that is Patience, he will take this subject, study at out and learn it So you can see the difference between anyone that is Impatient and the ore that is Patient. iso listen, friends! Never go through life, being impatient, hut always have the patience that you should have; and try to remember the old saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” * *' UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS:— T . —'When Dorothy Kidd and Marga ret Thompson were put on the hon or roll. —When Guy Sorrow came to school on time one morning. —When Miss McLeroy kept all 3ner pupils after school one day.

We know that it is the spirit of Christmas that makes us greet every one with a “nr.fcry Christmas .nd “The sane to you.” The Christmas spirit causes us ,o forget the harsh cares of every day and makes us glad that God has spared our lives ;>*id lot us live through another Christmas. When you see anyone on Christ mas day wno looks as if they nevei smiled, and had a grouch at the whole world, did you stop and think that ho had the Christmas spirit? Why, certainly not. So on Christ mas day smile and be happy and you’ll make someone else happy too T* Then people will say of you, “He has the proper kind of Christ mas spirit. ” Try making someone else have a merry Christmas, and see how much better and happier you’ll fee 1 , (t isn’t the size of the gift that counts, for, “It’s not what we give but what we share that counts. ’ A CHRISTMAS ACROSTIC C is for Colbert, a town that we a dore, H is for the Harts, Paul and Ed, you know.

S is for oui school we love so dear, Let’s work t,o help it while we’re here. —Vivian Sims, ’25 MEN MAKE NATIONS Why is the U. S. one of the greatest nations of the world today? It being only a young nation com pared with the other nations of the world, it being one hundred forty eight years since the Declaration of Independence was signed. Why did the nation prosper so in early years? Because it was pro vided with able leaders of the time, such as Washington, Lincoln and Hamilton. These men set an exam ple that has come down to us thru history. This example the people have carried with them. Let each one of us be a true citizen and let us prepare ourselves to take th* place of our forefathers. Let us not only start out in life for our own selfish ber.eiiis, tut for the benefit of our country. We think of the many advantages that we have that the men who lives a few years ago did not have. Look at the great change that has taken place in the course of a few years; the many conveniences we have that our forefathers never enjoyed. We all should make the most of our opportunities and advantages and make our lives really worth while. '• • Wf|fl —Paul Hart, ’25 SELF-EXPRESSION Have you a mind of your own? What 1 mean is, do you use your mind? Or do you merely take some one else’s ideas and use them, nev er having any opinions of your own? Self expression is everyone’s right, and it is up to us to see that we get it for ourselves, as well as help others to find it. In either case our aim should be to turn it in tA> the best and noblest channels. Always speak for yourself. Don’t agree to something you are opposed to simply because you think every one else agrees to it. Never follow the crowd” if the “crowd’ is doing just the opposite of what you want to do. Express yourself; let your ideas THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR. DANIEL3VILLE. CA. he known. Realize that all devel oped personalities have many modes of self expression and that you may not be able to agree with your friends in ail their ideas. All of us have our own opinions. Let us stick to them—until we know that we ‘ire in the wrong. Don t give up your opinion for the sake of being with the majority. There seems a reticence with i some of us about stating what we | think about certain things. When it comes right down to the point There are very few of us who have the courage to say what we think. Expressing b.n opinion to yourself or your family about things, im portant things, that come up out side of your home life, does no good if you don’t have the courage to give that opinion when and where it should be given. If you agree with everything anybody else says your mind will become stale. Develop your mind by thinking and then expressing your thougts. For truly Self-Ex pression broadens the mind.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE When the Edittor-in-chief of this paper asked me to contribute an article for the December number and followed it up with the suggestion that I write something about the coming Christmas holidays, the first thing tha‘. occurred to me, was that I make an effort to express my ap preciation of the privilege, which has been mine during the past four months, of being associated and working with such a splendid bunch of boys and girls and such a capa ble and amiable corps of teachers, my hope: that this time has be n profitably used; and my earnest de sire: that everyone be rewarded for their hard word by the benignant “Santa” with a most mery “Merry Christmas. ” No one believes more firmly than I in the old adage, “work while you work and play while you play ” Let us then lay aside, forget our work and worries, as we celebrate with due reverence, and a proper appreciation of the real meaning and significance of the day on which Christ was born, the incalculable effect of his coming on the destinies of the nations of the earth as well as the lives of individuals. Let us also make every effort to eret the most possible enjoyment out (if the holidays which follow; re membering always that nothing eives so much real pleasure as the knowledge that you have contribut ed to the happiaoss of others, Fo that we may come back to our task refreshed, eager to take hold of the New Year’s work and go the limit. “Merry Christmas to all.” —Hope P.
