THANKSGIVING
The spirit of Thanksgiving en
compasses many principles and
ideals which deserve daily as
well as annual tribute. Certain
ly, Thanksgiving Day is a mean
ingful and cherished holiday,
and it is right that we have
set aside a special occasion to
count our blessings and good
fortune. In so doing, let us be
continually grateful that we
live in a land where people can
still laugh, dream, hope, and
speak their minds and worship
as they please.
Our Founding Fathers had
great vision. They saw for the
future of our country a promise
of hope, right, justice, treedom.
and equality for men and wo
men who braved the dangers
to enjoy these blessings from
God. And all but the most cyni
cal would have to admit that
our Nation has made extraor
dinary progress in striving for
these goals No other country
has ever done more to promote
the spiritual and material needs
of its citizens
A noted American author and
editor once stated. "There ne
ver was a land that better de
served the love of her people
than America, for there never
was a mother-country kinder to
her children. She has given to
them all that she could give
Millions upon millions of men
have lived here with more com
fort, with less fear, than any
such numbers elsewhere in any
age have lived. Countless mul
titudes, whose forefathers from
the beginning of human life on
earth have spent weary lives
in unrewarded toil, in anxiety,
in helplessness, in ignorance,
have risen here, in the course
of even a single generation, to
the full and secure enjoyment
of the fruits of their labor, to
confident hope, to intelligent
possession of their own facul
ties. Is not the land to be dearly
loved in which this is possible,
in which this this has been ac
hieved' 1 " Truly, this American
was imbued with the spirit of
Thanksgiving
Our Nation does possess a
heritage which is unique in the
history of man But today this
heritage with its religious ideals
and moral principles means

mencans Thev do not seem to

Let us earnt -tA join m the

let the spirit of Thanksgiving
not be a .scheduled sentiment
which we turn on once a year
Rather, let it be an abiding

The Bronze Derby originated
as the result of a highly-spirit
ed ruckus on the night of Jan
30. 1947, following a basketball
game between the two rival
schools. Before the game got
underway, several PC’ students
put up a banner high on the
wall which read "Beat Hell
Out of Newberry."
Sometime during the game, a
group of Newberry students se
cured a ladder, sol it up against
the outside wall, climbed
through a window, rolled up the
banner, and escaped unnoticed
the same way they had entered
Near the end of the game the
visiting Blue Hose supporters
realized the banner was gone
After Presbyterian had taken
a 51-47 victory, the irate Hose
partisans demanded the return
of the banner. This prompted a
scuffle, and in the midst of the
general confusion, a Newberry
student snatched a derby from
the head of a PC student and
ran
