Sick Bay Ethel Guest was in the hos- pital and is now home. Our sincere best wishes to you Ethel. Thought for the week: Life is like a 10 speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use. Joke of the week: One evening a small boy was stand- ing on a hill smiling as he looked down on a small town. A clergyman passed by, noticed the red glow in the sky and said "That's my boy! You don't just think of football and T.V,, but you're also able to enjoy a beautiful sunset." "That's no sunset," replied the boy, "that s our school house burning." Saying of the week on failure: If you re not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win. - Walter Reuther Fall Musicales season set to begin soon Well, it's back to school for the Island children.
