Orr Thanksgiving Thanksgiving has deviated much from its original meaning established by the Pilgrims. To them, Thanksgiving was a day 1set ,aside for thanking God for the many benefits they had received. They thanked Him for their safe journey to America, for enabling them to' endure many hardships, and, most of ,all, for a harvest that was plentiful enough to last them through the long, bleak winter. For this. last rea- son, the holiday still takes place rather late in the fall after the crops have been gathered. Americans today have much to be thankful for, but we take too much for granted . .We look upon Thanksgiving as a day off from work, time to ,stuff ourselves with food, and maybe even to go hunting:; everything for ourselves, and nothing for God. , Do we stop awhile to thank God for having sufficient food so that we may feed our families, a home of our own to shelter and protect us, and for many wonderful, modern con- 11~:niences t.b.!at....."rlake our daily living easier and more enjoy- able? Remem:ber that Than!klsigiving is a time for church ser- vices rand individual prayers. Surely out of 365 days we can set one day aside and thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us and upon our country. - Barbe Step Program Students interested in the STEP Program are asked tv mak~ a decision in the near future and advise the office of their interest. This is particularly true for sophomore stu- dents. Unless we are sure within the next two months that there is sufficient demand, we· will be unable to operate the STEP Program next year for current sophomores. It is a good idea to let your friends know about this, because more qualified students are needed in order to continue the pro- gram on the third-year bSJSis next year. A large amount of planning with superintendents of schools needs to be done and Michigan State University will need to provide third~ year instruction in Alpena. This requires a great amount of planning by Michigan State University. -S. E. V. Use Foresight • • • With the newneSiS of college adjustments beginning to ease, students again should be warned that college is a "ser- ious, busineSIS." Now that mid-terms are in bloom, check your marks with the teachers and start worrying about the final grade if the present miark isn't satisfactory! Thts second term gives you the chance to raise those marks or lower them. Enjoy yourself at parties, dances, games, etc., but re- member you cannot.get the enjoyment of college if you're not in it ! ! Watch those marks ! ! PHOTO CENTER 111 E. Chisholm EL 4-4525 PORTRAITS - WEDDINGS Cameras, .Film, Projectors, Supplies Repairs on ~ Can:ieras 'JUMBER CRUISER November, 1959 Vets of ACC Open Season With Dance I Clippings I ·--This week we have consulted our little crystal ball and we are going to make some predic- tions as to what some of our sophomores will be doing next year at this time. Some of our sophomores will certainly be marrted by this time, our little crystal ball tells us. This group includes Darlene Leeck, Elaine Carnahan, Sally Bloom, Paula Davison, Sue Cloft, Marcia Zann, Ted Pietr- zak, and Mike Crick. We think that we see a bun- dle from heaven destined for the individual homes of Jerry Peters, Clair Frantz, and Dick Campbell. Invitational Dance at Vet's Club Looking deep into the ball, we see a life sentence at Sing-Sing for Phil Donakowski and Roger Klline, a few Halloween prank- siters. So we suppose that they will be in jail next year. l ___ ve_te_r_an_s _c_1 u_JJ-!I __ I __ 1 n_ks_l i_ng_e_rs ___ l Heading for downstate col-leges where they hope to ob-tain a "Mrs." as well as .a "M.A" 'in education we see Elaine Lyk, Bonnie Malette, Karen Beatty, Kay Marquardt, Bev Hiske, and Barb Hyde. Good luck, girls! The Veterans Club 'held an invitational dance at the VFvv· Hall Friday, the 13th of Novem- ber, from nine until one. As the dance was held on Friday the 13th, the hall was decorated ap- propriately for the occasion. The Riverside Revelers, of which Clair Frantz is a member, were engaged by the Club to play for the dance. They play- ed until twelve-thirty, after which the juke box was used. Many of the students from the college :made a"n appearance, 1but it was apparent that many of the students were still in the high school category. If -one is 'in college he should attend and support his college's functi<ms. If he would rather go to the high school func1li.ons, he better stay in high school Ev- . eryone who attended the dance had a good time. There are too few college functions and when one is held, we should be a:ble to eX'!)ect at least a 90 percent representation from the student body. There are dances being plan- ned in the future so let's have everyone there. -Bill Hildebrandt Muszynski Pharmacy Ted J. Muszynski 601 N. Second Ave ALPENA, MICHIGAN Phone EL 4-31980 Support Your Student Council The Inkslingers held their N overn1ber meeting on the 12th at Mr. Underwood's home. The featured speaker was Mr. Marx Rosenthaler, who, drawing on over fo-rty years' experience in public accounting, gave several incidents which he had encon- tered. The Barnum and Bailey Cir- cus, as presented in our magic ball, shows a few new arrivals. These include Ralph Bromund as the famous strong man and Cooky DeRosia carrying waiter Highlights of Mr. Rosentha:- to the elephants. Betty Brilinski , elr's talk included advice to i's featured as the famous bare- would-be accountants, irufonna- back rider, also. tion about the field, the work or No circus is com lcle wi • junior accountants, and the in:-- out a ew oo . n he corner ter-relation of accounting to booth we see Larry Arthur who • other fields, such as Business is selling diet pills.

The next meetii.ng will •be '.Vhurs- day, December 10, at Mr. Un- derwood's house. -Dixie Wagner _· s1_ud_e_n1_c_ou_nc_il-:I Influenced by petitions, sign. ed ,by approximately one-half of the studelllt body, the Student Council had as its main topic of discussion, the validity of changing the date for the Bas- ketball Homecoming. The Home- coming was scheduled for No- vember 27, 1959. On the petitions were stated various reasons for changing the date su'Ch as: November 27th is during Thanksgiving vacation and many of the students will be goin,g home, and i,t is also during deer season. Discussion and a vote result- ed in tentatively c·hanging the Homecomi1ng to February 13, 1960 and submitting this change to the ad!mmistration for final approval. Wocd has been received from the admimstration that it is def. inate that the Homecoming will be Februarr ·13, 1960. . -Don Witt to save all ·the pills for himself. Oh, yes, and ·here we see Barb Clir~l!'ll, . ~tty Tcy,ban, and Theresa Kendziorski selling kis- ses for t~~ mere "Price of $1.00 a kiss. Bob Ware, Jim Bisson, and Kaye Grulke have started a com- munity college in Rogers City to serve the -needs of that thriv- ing metropolis and the sur- rounding su'l}wbs. As could be expected,. Bob· has 'been made . , the d'irector of the school. Carol Haga,d'orn has replaced Mrs. Johnson as head librarian in Aloena, and now spends mos,t of her ti<me writing long and cruel letters to noisy patrons. The ball also shows our jruni- tor Van Simaeys feeding the dogs in bi's famous kennel. And to thi'D'k it all began with one dog ait A.C.C. Jerry Yankie and Jim Dia- mond are shown on television in correlation with Lawrence Welk's orchestra. Nice going, fellows. Holding prominent position at 1:he cement plant because they enjoyed it so much are Roy Sehorn, Jerry Grant, Pat and Mike Homant, and Bob Kurtz. And finally we see the loyal students who will remain, at _A.C.C. for another year and become third year sophomores. -K:aye & Eleanor
