WELL—HERE’S HOW!
“And the New Year, reviving old desires,
The thoughtful soul to solitude retires, ”
We don’t know just what old Omar had in mind
when he scratched those few lines on his papyius a
thousand years ago hut we have a hunch, ne seems
there to express the thought which animates the bieas
of the least of us as the dying year pulls the lading
draperies of his couch about him and prepares tor ms
journey into the great oblivion. Another year is gone,
shaii we drop or nuture our old desires? Vveie they
worthy of us? Must we augment our strengths or seek
to burv further our weaknesses ? It is indeed a time toi
solitarv cogitation for the thoughful soul.
And there is the New Year coming up. There is no
man with soul so dead wrhose pulse fails to quicken in
the contemplation of the New Year—a new slate, a new
page, a new mile stone in life. What holds the future in
store? What were the mistakes of yesteryear? ‘Tis time
for casting up of personal account for one must advance
lest he become fixed, retrogade or rot in innocuous
desuetude. ,. ......
h'or us there is always something more exhilirating
in a New Year than a New Christmas. Christmas has its
peculiar appeal but there is something more pleasing
and poignant about New Years because of its unfath
omed promises. One seems to stand poised on the thresh
old of a newy and unguessed wonderland. After many
milestones passed we never miss the thrill that comes
with the contemplation of the next mile in life; a jour
ney that is ever fascinating and intriguing because of
its very uncertainties. It seems to us that if we could
not look forward to the coming year with a quickening
heart beat we would call the doctor and the undertaker
at the same time.
As for the Gateway, we look back over the fading
year with an unmistakable sense of pride. It has been a
year of accomplishment and progress in which we feel
we have had an important part. WTe have made many
friends and lost a very few. We humbly beg forgiveness
for the unintentional mistakes we have made, confident
in the devout faith that we will not repeat the old ones
or add many new ones. We look forward with keen en
joyment to the things in prospect for 1930 because
every new year in Alaska seems to hold some new, abun
dant promise that keeps one on his toes and never per
mits life to grow stale. There are so many things to do
we are sure we cannot do them all hut will have a lot of
fun trying. For this reason it is a Happy New Year for
us and our devout and sincere wish that it will be a
happy one for every one within our gates, friend, foe or
malcontent.
