Fifty Years Ago

Taylor V. Cremeans, Superintendent

Christmas is just around the corner.

MOTHERS AND DADS: PLEASE NOTE:

What do students want most from their parents?

A world-wide survey of nearly 100,000 boys and girls has resulted in a list of 10 do’s and don’ts that every mother and father should memorize:

(1). Treat all your children with equal affection; (2.) Keep close to them; (3.) Make their friends welcome in your home; (4.) Don’t quarrel in front of them; (5.) Be thoughtful to each other; (6.) Never lie to your children; (7.) Always answer their questions; (8.) Don’t punish them in the presence of others; (9.) Be constant in affection and moods; (10.) Concentrate on good points, not failings.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Don’t be cheated today.

Today is yours. Enjoy it.

If you think of the good old days long gone and wish you could relive those happy times, you lose the possible joys of today.

And if you dream of those bright tomorrows, when all will be perfect, once again you lose the possible joys of today.

So remember your yesterdays; plan your tomorrows; but live and enjoy today.
