We must keep Santa alive in our hearts, not only for ours.hcs, l.ut for the children that will someday be our own. They will live through a terribly drab and unimaginative childhood if they have nothing to believe in but bare realities that should be reserved only for adulthood. Remember the pride that must have glowed in the hearts of your parents US they watched your face light up with each new package you opened? Maybe someday your child will be able to .-< e the same joy on your face because he grew up with Ids parents' faith in imagination. Keep the spirit of that lovable old man alive in your heart and this Christmas, along with all others to come, will be the happiest, most wonderful day of your life. —Sandra Weaver
One Friday Morning The neighborhood bordered the highway which led to the town. There were some well-kept houses and yards but even th< e were in need of repair. Mosl of the houses were of unpainted boards and surrounded by bare earth. In some places litter could be seen scattered beneath foundation . under sta rcases, and in the yards. There were no .sidewalks. Nevertheless, the neighborhood did have some lilac bushes, flower borders, and other signs of permanence. Two little hoys emerged from the dark doorway of one of the old hou as into the autumn sunshine. Instead of being noisy and rowdy, as small hoys usually are. they moved slowly down the highway, each lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly they stopped. "There," the first said, and my eyes followed his pointing finger. aw before me, at a fork in the road, a brick building.

It's getting close to that special time of year again—Christmas, and a few girls seem to have gotten their special guys all wrapped up in their Christmas stockings a little early. Santa Comes Early Jeanine McKenzle's "Santa" was Lorie Allen, of Norfolk, when he presented her with a beautiful engagement ring. Stuart Copeland, a graduate of Hampden-Sydney. was the special someone from whom Mary Pern Lewis received a diamond. Sylvia Guiliams' sparkler came from Lyle Hedden; who knows which is brighter—the sparkle on her hand or the sparkle in her eye!
