PROGRAMS MARK START OF
VACATION AT BAYVIEW
Bayvicw School closed for the
holiday vacation December 23,
and will resume January 3.
Programs were given in the
thrge rooms with staff members
of t lie Jesse Lee Home as guests.
Each of the three classrooms
had its own program and tree,
with gifts for each child. All
rooms were bright with pictures
and scenes, drawn and- painted
according to the age levels and
individual interpretations of the
Christmas spirit. The primary
room showed boards gay with
oriental scenes, modern Santa
Claus, and the Nativity. Inter
mediate grades portrayed a
more modern reaction. Windows
were hung with gay streamers
and walls were profusely lined
with home scenes. Upper grades
expressed much of the natural
artistic ability common to all
Bayview pupils. A hand-painted
scene of the Nativity was flanked
by a border of wise men, shep
herds, and farther on, elv?s,
Santa Claus, and brightly lighted
homes. Star-studded skies in va
rious shades of blue were the
work of a sixth grade pupil.
Three girls wrote and directed a
clever one act play, "Christmas
Stockings.” A seventh grade
pupil sang a song of her own
composition. An informal tea
closed the afternoon program.
Bedside pupils at the Seward
Sanatorium, in so far as their!
condition and limited time al-j
lowed, participated in a Christ-j
mas program. All received both
practical and personal gifts.
Decorations, beautifully lighted
trees, and carols added to the;
general cheer.

This New Year seems, to me
to have a special significance.
It is the beginning of the latter
half of the century. I could wish
to live to see the end of the
century, if I could be assured
of having all my faculties, and
be able to have knowledge of
what was going on around me.!
Not that I have any particular
desire for a long life, but be
cause I am so filled with curios
ity at what mankind will have
achieved in the next fifty years.
Nostradamus predicted the
end of the world for the year
2000. Later interpretations of
his writings are to the effect that
he foretold the end of the era,
or present civilization rather
than the end of the physical i
world.
The amazing advance in sci
ence in the past half century,
the even more rapid develop
ment of the last two decades,
lures one to linger a trifle more
thoughtfully over the fantastic
prognosticator, and to wonder
whether the medieval prophet
was so far wrong after all.
Consider the infinite possibili
ties of radio. A man’s voice can
be heard any place in the world.,
We can now see an event trans
piring hundreds of miles away
by video, or television. It is
hard to imagine what the next
few years will develop along
this line. Ben Franklin could not
even dream of what would grow
out of his experiment with a
kite string and a key. Who can
say what will be the extent of
electronics?
Our scientists have bounced
radar beams to the moon and
back. Will our next crop finally
project themselves to that far
away point?
New planes fly faster than
sound. That was one of Nostra
damus' predictions.
Many people are now concern
ing themselves with the propo
sition that the world is becom
ing so overpppulated that this
small sphere will soon be un
able to support its burden. Some
form of control is being urged
by this group. Such a movement,
gaining any sort of power would
indeed spell the end of our
civilization.
Atomic energy, or the atomic
Frankenstein, may be the begin
ning of the end of things as we
know them. Not necessarily a
destruction of the world, but. as
I see it, most certainly the be
ginning of a change that will be
so complete as to constitute the
end of an era in the history of

Yes, surely, the years from
next Sunday to 2000 will be so
fraught with changes of all
kinds that it behooves us each
and every one to be watchful
and thoughtful concerning the
future.
It is possible that the entire
world will be consumed by wars.
It is just as possible through de
termined effort to prevent all
future war, and bring about the
long dreamed of Brotherhood of
Man, thus ending the century
and the world as we know it on
the keynote that sounds the
Millenium.
