  Two little girls were discussing their families. `Why does your grandmother read tie Bible so much'?" asked one.
  Replies the other: "I think she's cramming for her finals.”

The End

  You've read my last book, haven't you?" asked the author.
  "I hope so," groaned the critic.

CHRISTMAS
  What does Christmas mean to you? To too many of us it is just the time when we give and receive gifts. We forget that one meaning of Christmas could be not to give, but to FORGIVE. Many of us spent the whole year harboring grudges against people for little things that they did to us long ago.
  Remember with each Christmas gift and card that you give that there is someone among your friends, relatives, and neighbors who will be happy to receive your gift of forgiveness, the greatest gift of all.

RESPECT
  It seems to me that too many of the students in our school do net respect their elders, especially their teachers. Either they have not been taught this at home or they chose to remember it only as long as they are home.
  One of the worst things a student can do is to call the teacher by-his last name; forgetting- his title. Another grave mistake of the student is open defiance of a teacher's request.
  The students can improve their relationship with their teachers merely by correcting these faults and improving their actions in the classroom

  Modesty - keeping one's opinion of oneself secret.
  Secret - something either not worth keeping or too good to keep. Enough-more than the neighbors have.
  Luck - the way the other fellow got ahead.
  Coach - a fellow who will gladly lay down your life for his school. Heredity - something everyone believes in until his son begins to act like a fool.
