Circle KSets Sale Date Of Student Directory For Early December

By Garry Johnston

On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, many Palomar College students and faculty will enjoy a traditional turkey dinner. How many of us will pause to remember the holy and historical significance of the year 1621. The first Thanksgiving Day was one which came only after the Pilgrims overcame many hardships. The first year in the new world was a difficult one, with a summer draught that withered the corn and burned the gardens. But nothing daunted the sturdy faith of the Pilgrims. After they had gathered their scanty harvest, Q{)vernor Bradford decreed a day for giving thanks to Q{)d . Give Thanks As Thanksgiving nears this year, we should come to r~alize and appreciate the numerous things tor which we can be thankful; the scientifically engineered stove that cooked the turkey, the process of food preservation that brings tO us the gifts from God's ever increasing bounty, and the fact. that we and our families, but for the grace of God, might be starving in some stagnant alleyway. Bless Many Things As we sit down to the traditional meal tomorrow, let us for a mo. ment think of the real meaning of Thanksgiving and be appreciative of the many other things that we have been blessed with since the first Thanksgiving day in 1621. Let us be thankful for all that we have with the same vigor and undaunted faith that the Pilgrims set forth in their simple prayers so many years ago. ----()---

Study Program Shortridge said that the apprenticeship committee and the college were studying the program, and that instruction for sheet metal workers would likely be set up in the near future. He added that a class of 14. apprentices, already organized for training, would probably transfer here as soon as the college program was organized.

Worth Exploring -

Palomar's Bookstore Offers Wide Variety Of Items Jungle animals as well as men from outer space have come to Palomar looking for a home. This intriguing group has congregated here on campus under the capable direction of Mrs. Elsie McNabb who is housing them temporarily at the book store. Incidentally, she requests that students do not feed the animals even if they do squeak at you. Besides these fabulous attractions there are other wonderful gifts for your favorite beau or lass: such as jewelry, or if you want to make a point, a novel by Erskine Caldwell, just one of the tremendous selections of pocket books on all subjects. Extra special on the list this year are the Hallmark contemporary and Christmas cards. If you are looking for study aids, the bookstore has them. Just remember to read your textbook first. You may be amazed, also, with chief spacewoman and animal trainer McNabb's four space co mbers, Lois Mock, Richard Dixon, Ron Wert and Tom Langford. May I remind you that they are assistants working during their free time and are not for sale. When you are browsing around

the bookstore and hear belligerent voices, don't be alarmed. These voices come from chem students purchasing safety glasses for the enormous sum of $1.04. If you become surly or depressed

after exams, don't visit your psychiatrist, visit the bookstore and. pick up a copy of the new best seller, "Little Man on the Campus," guaranteed to ease your tormented soul.

"SELLING IS NO PROBLEM here," says Lois Mock (center); "these creatures sell themselves." Lois shows the popular "Knlt-Wit," wearing glasses, to bookstore assistant, Richard Dixon. The creature which is one of many stuffed figures on sale in the bookstore is proving popular as a sales item. Mrs. Elsie McNabb, manager (left), holds anothe~ animal.
