With Thanksgiving just aroundthe corner we should all stop andgive thanks to our forefathers forfounding and: ,establishing thethings for which America stands.I have found the true story of thecrossing of the Pilgrims and someactual quotes from the sailors andshall present the story.
One of the very first passagesin this diary was taken upon arrival at Plymouth Rock, or whatwas later to be called PlymouthRock. When the ship, small butsturdy, splintered its hull uponthis rock the men of course be·came very angry. Some of theexpressions used might havemade one wonder if Harry Trumanweren't aboard.
The Pilgrims, after, having,bought the seeds from the National IPurina dealers, embarkedto the fields, to start ,planting, ofcourse.
After the fields had born thecrops of plenty, the Pilgrims decided to call the White House andask if it would be all dght tohave a festival and call it ... oh. . THANKSGJVlNG . . This wasnot at first approved by Mr. Roosevelt due to the lack of supplies(there wa:s a depression or something) .. However, the Pilgrimsfinally talked him into lettingthem, if they promised to maketheir own cranberry sauce . . . thisthey did!
The fes:ivities went smoothlyat the begInning but, later manythings began to happen, such asthree log cabins burning to theground due to flying ashes, and thecranberry sauce being bann:ed bythe American Foo,d' Testing Go.(some sort of bacteria or something). All in all the day was ata loss, but this did not stop thebrave citizens of the New' Worldand: this ,became a tradition recog-
nized by all Americans.

Gxemption<J prolie ValuableA sigh of relief will be heard from all qualifying 12B students
for as in years past truey will be exempt from final exams. Many students will have to study hard to qualify. An 85 average is nothinig tobesneaI1ed at, although many may have 85 averages but have gradeslower than a "B-" on their report cards. .
By having exemption;;;, each student is encouraged to study dailyinstead of postponing his review until the last minute. The studentswho would be ex,empt have grade averages which represent continualhard work.
M~st adults see today's teenagers as one gang of "act~alikes,
dress-alikes, and think-alikes." These gangs or groups 'that are evident'right here at McCallum destroy an individual's incentive.
This mass collectivism is most readily noticible in the fads that
spring up overnight.When the shapeless chemise started becoming popular, for
example, nearly every girl, young or old, just had to have one.When bowling began its risc to fame a short time ago, one was
considered "square" if he didn't spend at least part of each weekat his favorite bbwling alley.
The most recent example of this situation is the trampoline
craze. "Join the group and go to the nearest jump center and enjoya few hours of healthful bouncing," was a favorite radio filler thissummer, or "meet your friends at Bounceville."
Students should recognize the many crazes that confront them
daily. If everyone follows each new craze that comes along, he willsoon lose his ability to act according to his own incentives. He willbe literally lost in the crowd.
Being lost in the crowd can eventually lead to more seriousconsequences than becoming a trampoline addict.
During one of your more important examinations for example,
one of your fellow "lost ones" may nudge you and ask for an an
swer. How you answer his nudge will determine whether you arestill able to act according to your individual principles.
By recognizing these fads for what they are, temporary "chugholes" in the road to determination of decisions by personal incentive, you safeguard your individuality.
