The Allen Book Fair was a great success and the librarians at both the public and school libraries want to thank everyone for the tremendous support.

A total of $5,548 in books and miscellaneous was sold – approximately 1100 books are now in the hands of young readers. This also means the two libraries will share nearly $3,000 to be spent on books for the libraries and classrooms.

Everyone is looking forward to the Spring book fair at Allen Schools.

Book Fair is Huge Success

As everyone around us reaches for more and clings to what is, Thanksgiving drops to its knees, pleading that we release ourselves to others in greater need and set our affections on things unseen.

—CC—My love affair with

Thanksgiving takes me all the way back to my boyhood days. I had just turned 10 years of age and was in fifth grade at Southmayd Elementary School in East Houston. As I recall, I was still going barefoot to school--and I combed my hair, maybe three times a week. Girls didn’t matter a lot to me when I was 10! It was on a Wednesday, the day before our Thanksgiving holidays began.

The year was 1944. Our nation was at war across the Atlantic into Europe as well as in the Pacific and far beyond. Times were simple back then but they were also rugged. Everything was rationed. Framed stars hung proudly in neighborhood windows--and sometimes they were quietly changed to crosses. Everyone I knew was patriotic to the core. Without television, we relied on “newsreels” that were shown at the movies, bold newspaper headlines, and LIFE magazine, which carried photos and moving stories of courage in battle and deaths at sea. Signs were posted inside most stores and on street corners, all of them with the same four words:

“Unc le Sam Want s YOU”

Draped high across the front of our classroom was a huge American flag with its 48 stars and 13 stripes. We began that Wednesday as we did every other day in school, standing erect beside our desks, repeating the Pledge of Allegiance and then bowing our heads as our teacher led us in prayer. Hanging just below the flag was a large picture of our 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She always remembered to pray for him--and our “soldier boys”, who were serving their country in dark, dreary, and dangerous places a half a world away from my fifth-grade class.

My teacher had lost her husband on the blood-washed shores of Normandy the previous June. After we had saluted the flag, a hush fell across the room as we bowed our heads together. No one moved. As she began to pray and give thanks, her voice broke and she started to weep. I did too. So did Richard Webb, my best buddy. And Wanda Ragland. Even Charles White and Warren Cook, two tough kids who later

played high school football when we were all Milby Buffaloes, wiped back their tears. No one moved as she stumbled and sobbed her way through her prayer, which was filled with some of the most moving expressions of gratitude and praise that I have ever heard emerge from a soul plunged in personal grief and pain.

In that epochal moment, time stood still. And I believe it was then--right then--that I fell in love with Thanksgiving. It became, for me, far more than just another holiday; it took on a significance that bordered the sacred.

Lost in sympathy and a 10-year-old-boy’s pity for his teacher, I walked home much slower that autumn afternoon. Although only a child, I entertained deep and profound feelings of gratitude for my country, kept free by the bravery and blood of men and women only a few years older than I, most of them fresh out of high school. On that cool afternoon I felt a renewed surge of thankfulness for my mom and dad, my older brother and sister . . . my maternal grandparents . . . my friends . . . for my school . . . my neighborhood . . . my church. Though only a child, I promised God that I would fight to the end to keep this land free from enemies who would take away our liberty and erase America’s distinctives and steal the joys of living in this good land.

I have never forgotten that childhood promise. I remembered it at another Thanksgiving, fourteen years later in late November of 1958, when I wore the uniform and silently walked the same beaches of Okinawa where my fellow Marines had sacrificed their lives in the last great battle of the South Pacific in WWII. And

as Thanksgiving returns annually, I still pause; I still let the wonder in.

Thanksgiving puts steel in our nerves and causes fresh blood to course through our patriotic veins. It reminds us of our great heritage. It carries us back with humbling nostalgia to those first dreadful winters at places like Plymouth and Jamestown, where less than half of those who first landed survived. But what grand men and women those pioneers became--those who pressed on. Reading their names today is like reading a page out of our national heroes’ Hall of Fame. In words taken from Hebrews 11, they were those “of whom the world was not worthy.” At this time every year I pause and remember how thankful I am for each one of them. They had the stuff of which greatness is made.

Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of almost-forgotten terms like integrity, respect, vigilance, devotion, dignity, honor, discipline, freedom, sacrifice, heroism, humility, peace, and godliness. Its historic halls echo with voices embedded in the woodwork – the voices of Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Henry, Lincoln, Lee, Jackson,

Eisenhower, MacArthur and Reagan – all of whom challenge us to trim off the fat of indolence, passivity, and compromise and to rid ourselves of the stigma of strife and prejudice, the malignancy of selfishness and greed.

As everyone around us reaches for more and clings to what is, Thanksgiving drops to its knees, pleading that we release ourselves to others in greater need and set our affections on things unseen.

As the very real threat of terrorism continues to rear its ugly head and as our culture gives way to shameful and brutal acts of violence, it is easy to let ourselves become preoccupied with only the fear of a stark and barren future . . . a world without color and laughter. Thanksgiving stands tall and shouts the same message every year: “There is a better way to think and to live! Your God is still blessing you with the fragrance of forgiveness and the beauty of His bounty.”

I have found in these 64 years that have followed my experience in that fifth-grade class that it is essential to pause very deliberately each Thanksgiving and do what the name of the holiday tells me to do. When I do, without exception, I’ve

found that beauty replaces the fear of barrenness and a deep joy returns to my soul.

And so, as the best of all the holidays fast approaches, may we take our cues from my fifth-grade teacher. My we be as self-forgetful as she was that lonely day in her life, soon to face her first Thanksgiving alone in her little apartment. May we remember what she remembered – that Thanksgiving transcends our present trials, that it is a day of magnificent memories, a day of renewed commitment to the things that matter. Like my teacher, may we not allow it to be eclipsed behind the clouds of our national aches or sub merged beneath the pain of personal loss and hardship.

May Thanksgiving arrive this year with a forceful and throbbing impact upon us. May it leave each one of us gripped with gratitude for the same things that I remembered as a barefoot kid walking home from school on that autumn afternoon so many years ago.

If there ever was a time

when we would have liked for the Saturday OU Football game to be televised, it was

this past Saturday. Records were made. It was pretty awesome.

It rained all during the game and I would have

liked to have seen how those coaches, team members and spectators got through it all. I have been there in years passed when it rained and there were so many umbrellas up, that it was hard to see the game, and I always felt so much sympathy for the players. I, however, was never in the stadium when it rained so much as it did Saturday or else I don’t remember it. Also, this year, just before

the end of the game, there was a tornado alert. That would have been enough to drive most people out to their cars and try to be on their way.

However, I am glad I was able to get the game on the radio. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

We desperately needed the rain here. It was welcome. However, we need much more to fill our lake as our

water supply is very low. In order to get rain here, just plan something. I have just had a book published and the day I had my book signing, it rained the entire time we had booked for it. It did keep a few people away but the book is still available.

On Thanksgiving Day, I will join the crowd at the Senior Center. Families come together there on holidays and there is always a large crowd. I enjoy seening everyone.

Stacey Dale and big-timesports up at OU

I drove up to Norman Friday night to watch the Sooner Women’s Basketball team take on and defeat Bradley. It was also a night chosen to retire a great athlete’s jersey—Stacey Dale’s number 21. Stacey played her last game in 2002 and since then has risen to national prominence as a sports broadcaster. She not only does the Women’s telecasts she has also become well known as a side-line reporter for NFL football. Stacey is a Canadian girl brought to Oklahoma by Sherry Cole to play basketball and has been a great Sooner ever since. Way to go Stacey.

My friend Virgil Guy, who once upon a time was

owner and editor of the Allen Advocate, said he saw me sitting there like a bump on a log there in Lloyd Nobel (on TV) during the Stacey Dale ceremonies at half time and (he emailed me) brought up a football game we attended one Saturday afternoon—a long time ago. This particular game was in 1975 but I remember it well. I sat with my family that bright Saturday afternoon. OU hadn’t lost a game all year and never even looked like they might ever lose another game in my whole life. After all, this was

Kansas and they weren’t any good.

Like the Romans of old, we Sooners sat back on our bleachers, adjusted our sunglasses for the bright sunshine and gathered our snacks, our radios and awaited the slaughter of the innocent Jayhawkers. Probably about 45 to 6 we guessed, as we bandied around our projected scores of how much we would beat the hapless Kansans. They had a new quarterback named Cromwell who as far as I knew hadn’t done much that year—and he hadn’t up to this game anyway. But Nolan Cromwell wasn’t a household word that afternoon—not yet.

The Sooners had won the national championship in 1974 and it looked like (to me) there was nothing to stop us from taking home another one in 1975. Then the game started. My beloved Sooners couldn’t do anything. Cromwell passed, ran, pitched and sneaked. We bumbled and fumbled our way to 3 points in 4 quarters. The final was 23-03, Kansas. It was a sad day in sooner land. Indeed, I remember being in Sunday school the next morning and being teased and kidded about my mighty team’s loss by a few coarse unfeeling OSU fans. There went any chance for a National Championship, I told Virgil and he sadly agreed. But it wasn’t. OU won out and went to the Orange Bowl. It turned out that my son Ron and I would be there in Miami that day. We got a chance to ride down early on that game day on the equipment plane—and we took it.

The bowl game had lost some of its luster since Ohio State was number one and they were playing

in the Rose Bowl. It was the big game. The Orange Bowl was being played just for entertainment. But mighty Ohio State got beat. Suddenly it was announced that the winner of the Orange Bowl would be the new National Champion. Our opponent was Bo Schembechler’s Michigan and no one really knew what to expect.

We were pretty excited that night. The game didn’t start (as I recall) until late and I had to be at work in Allen the next morning. I was a little concerned about actually getting back to Allen by 9AM. But it all

worked out. After one of my favorite quarterbacks of all time, Steve Davis ran a keeper in and suddenly OU had won 14 to 6. Anyway, we had a good time and I have learned since not to count OU out after a loss. But forgive me if I do so just this year—in spite of Samaje Perene’s great performance. Samaje broke Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon’s all-time rushing record of 408 with 427 yards of his own against Kansas. Congratulations Samaje.

Hope all you guys have a good weekend and that everyone goes to church Sunday. You too Samaje. You’ll never lose there.

It has been said that those who forget the language of gratitude can never be on speaking terms with happiness. If we fail to feel gratitude for the multitude of blessings given to us we will not feel the joy and happiness of those blessings. Our society is blessed more than any previous society in history, yet there seems to be more stress and unhappiness than ever. Do you suppose that we want so much that we fail to be thankful for the numberless simple blessings of life that we enjoy every day?

One thing God tells us again and again is to be thankful. He tells us “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess 5:18) And, He encourages us, “giving thanks always for al l things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Eph 5:20) This Thanksgiving, while we are being thankful for the multitude of physical blessings, riches, comforts and joys we experience, let’s remember and give thanks for God, the giver

of all our blessings. Let’s be thankful that He rules over all things and that He is a God of infi nite wisdom, righteousness, justice and truth.

Let’s be thankful that God is faithful and dependable. What He has spoken, He will perform. He is consistent and the laws by which He governs the universe are always consistent. How terrible it would be if God could not be trusted or if He was undependable. What if His law of gravity was not consistent and we were not always pulled toward the earth? What if God was not always good, but did evil sometimes. Suppose when a farmer planted seeds, he could never know what plants or crop might grow! What if whatever happened depended upon the whims of a selfish, changeable, indecisive and fi ckle God?

Aren’t you thankful for God and the fact that He loves us? Yes, this Thanksgiving let’s remember all the physical blessing, but above all, let’s remember the greatest blessing of all – the giver of all those blessings! And, let’s remember that He is constantly working to bring us to repentance that we might enjoy an abundant life on earth, as well as receiving the forgiveness of our sins so we can live with Him eternally.

This is a week when we Americans can count our blessings and give thanks to God who has abundantly provided for us ever since that little band of Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower. What a contrast between us and the Pilgrims who, thankful they had survived the first year on this continent, paused to acknowledge their debt of gratitude to God and their Indian neighbors!

When it comes to the Thanksgiving feast we can be thankful that the turkeys we buy and prepare in our modern day ovens have been killed, dunked in hot water, plucked, gutted, singed, cleaned up, wrapped neatly in plastic, and frozen. Once we got the hang of it, though, we could clean a turkey in about the same amount of time it takes to wait in some check-out lines.

The Atwood Community Christmas celebration will be on December 7th so plan on bringing a dish for the potluck dinner and come to the Community Building about 5:00 that evening. With good food, good neighbors, games, gifts, and a visit from Santa you’re bound to have a good time.

Rev. Karch’s message was based in Exodus 32.

If you notice, the more we Americans have drifted away from God, the more we have gradually lost our freedoms.

God sent Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. He enabled them to leave their lives of slavery and defeat Pharaoh without having to lift a sword. He fed them and provided water for them in the desert, but the people still turned away from Him. While Moses was on the mountain meeting with God, the people melted gold jewelry and made themselves an idol in the form of a calf so that they could worship it.

God was angry enough to destroy them, relenting only after Moses pleaded on their behalf.

T h i s c o u n t r y w a s founded by Christians, and Presidents such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have declared that Americans owe our

existence as a nation to God’s providence.

Over the years, America has turned to God over and over. As recently as Desert Storm many churches prayed for the warriors who were at war.

Today, however, America is trying to make all public acknowledgements of God illegal. God will not allow a Christian nation to stand for wrong things. Unless our nation repents and stands strong for God, there are tough times on the way. However, if our leaders can lead us back to honoring God, we can become the nation He created us to be.

MY TIME MACHINE ON THANKSGIVINGBy Jimmy M. Loyless I woke up. Hmmm I

said. Oh, it’s Thanksgiving Day!

My name is Timmy. I’m small. That’s why I’m called Timmy. It’s some name for small but I don’t know why.

I walked out of my room into the hall. I went into the kitchen and there was a note on my breakfast. It said, Meet me in my lab! From Conner to Timmy.

So I ate my breakfast and went to Conner’s lab. I said What do you want me for? Conner said, I want you to test this time machine! I went in. Conner said Push some buttons! And I did. Then nothing happened.

I opened the door. I was in space! I closed the door and then passed out.

I woke up and stepped outside. The air was warm and nice. Then I saw a person. Then a net got me! I screamed loud. Then I heard a voice say Shhhhhhh. You will scare the turkey. I stopped.

Then I saw a big turkey. I pointed to it. The guy saw it and gave me a wink. He shot it and then he cut the net.

He said, What is your name? I said My name is Timmy. What is yours?

Beta, he said. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you! I said.

Do you want to join us in our feast? Beta said.

Yep, I said. So me and Beta walked together.

What do you call your feast? I said.

Uhhhh, Beta said. Oh! He said, we call it Thanks Giving! I was about to tell him we have feast called Thanksgiving but I did not.

We are here, he said. I saw ice cream, cookies, milk, turkey, cheese, bread and a lot. A lot of people came in, but there was no

pumpkin pie. So I ate and had a fun time. Then I said bye to Beta. I got back in the time machine and I fell asleep.

Home at last! I said to Conner.

It worked. He said, Well done! I went home.

Mom said, Come eat! I said, But Mom! I’m full. She said, I guess you don’t want any pumpkin pie. So I ate and got pumpkin pie. It was a great Thanksgiving.

----MY THANKSGIVING

BOOKBy Kalina Peter One Thanksgiving Day

we had pumpkin pie, turkey, corn, mash potatoes, and cup cakes. I was Thankful for everything. Five men went to kill the turkey. They were Veterans. Thank you for keeping us safe and free. Please keep helping us. We love you.

----DOWN BY THE

RIVERBy Athena Harrison It was the day before

Thanksgiving and there wasn’t a turkey to cook. Me and my cousin went down to the river and we caught a big cat fish. The name of the river is the Red Sea. It is very fun to swim in, except when it’s cold it’s not. But you can still fish when it is cold.

It’s like 30 minutes from the Red Sea to my house. It’s fun to walk there because you can see pretty birds flying all around. It is beautiful to me and the cat fish was good to eat for Thanksgiving Dinner.

----T H A N K S G I V I N G

WITH THE MILITARYBy Jaedyn L. Spradling It was November 26th.

Everyone was happy about Thanksgiving. Even our Military Heroes. They get a few days off to spend time with there family.

There is a feast at the town hall, and everybody can come. Our military heroes are going to come with there families. On Thanksgiving Day they did not have enough food so they had to go hunting for a turkey. They had an hour to catch a turkey.

Some of the soldiers went out to go find a turkey. So by the time they got there guns loaded and ready they only had 30 minutes to catch a turkey. They saw a turkey, but when they shot at it they missed.

All the stuff was done for the dinner and whenever t h e y g o t t h e t u r k e y everything would be ready. Just one thing was not ready so they moved the feast to the next day.

Everyone was mad, sad, and in anger. It was all because they came for the dinner on the day that they Put In The Newspaper!

The next day everything was ready. Even the turkey. So they had the big, huge, and fat turkey. I’m sure it tasted awesome!

If you are wondering how they caught it, they chased the turkey and finally caught it. So everybody had a great, wonderful, nice time. So that’s how they had Thanksgiving with the Military.

The story took place in 1970. This is a Kid’s Book of Realistic Fiction.

----THE STORY BOOK OF LEGEND ON THANKSGIVING

By Morgan Miller It was Thanksgiving

night and Analisa was wide awake. She was thinking about when she had to build a float with Lauren.

Come on Analisa said Lauren. What do you want the float to look like?

I want it to look like the pictures in our story book, said Analisa.

Okay, said Lauren, but listen! We have to make it about Thanksgiving.

Okay, I know! We will, said Analisa.

The float was about Sleeping Beauty. The wicked step-mother was saying Eat this apple, my pretty. And Sleeping Beauty was saying, Leave me alone! No never!

I love it! It is the best float ever! People said.

You do? said Analisa. And then every ones parents came and left presents. Lauren got a book. Reisa got a new pare of shoes.

Analisa got a token, and Shelby and Kelly got magic hair brushes.

Then Analisa went to the wishing well and she made a wish. She said, what will happen if I don’t sign the story book of Legends? And then the well showed her the answer.

O-O-O-O-H NO! She ran back home and told Lauren. She said she wanted to sign the Story Book of Legends. The sooner the better!

----OUR

THANKSGIVINGBy Alivia Griesinger On the day before

Thanksgiving I help fix dinner. We get the turkey ready to roast. We stuff it and then baste it with butter. Then we put it in the oven to cook. We make sweet potatoes and top them with sugar and marshmallows and bake. Grandma makes all the pies because she is expert at pies. Then we make the gravy. Dinner smells so good and I feel like I’m starving. Then we all sit down to eat it all up but there is still some left.

----WHAT

THANKSGIVING IS ABOUT

By Jimmy M. Loyless(Jimmy’s fourth book,

published first in the Allen Advocate)

Thanksgiving is about what we are thankful about. And also for the pilgrims and Indians who made the feast.

We have pumpkin pie, turkey, steak, cherries, ice cream and a lot.

The pilgrims sailed around the sea on a big boat. The boat was called the Mayflower. The kids on the Mayflower were board all the time.

But one day they found an island! They saw Indians! We became the best of friends. Then the Indians said let’s have a feast. So we had the feast.

S o w e c e l e b r a t e thanksgiving for things we are thankful for. And for the pilgrims and Indians.

----WHAT

THANKSGIVING IS ABOUT

H e r e i s s o m e t h i n g about what I do for Thanksgiving.

Autobiography - Nariah Bump

Thanksgiving is about when families get together. Thanksgiving is called that because for what you are thankful for. Thanksgiving is really fun. Families are having fun with their family. You can read stories with your family.

On Thanksgiving when you say a prayer, you say what you are thankful for. Like this, “Dear Heavenly Father, thank thee for this day. Thank thee for letting us be here. Thank thee for letting us get together. Bless thee food to strength and nourish our body. Bless that we can be watched over protected. In the name Jesus Christ Amen.

The last thing--you eat all the food on your plate so you can be healthy. The very last thing is you eat enough food you get cake and ice cream and cookies!

----THE HAPPY

THANKSGIVINGBy Benjamin Allison I like Thanksgiving

always. That’s when it is my favorite day to eat pie and deer.

First I woke up and I went to go to the bus stop and it was a good day at school. And when I get off I go fishing and I go hunting. I clean it and I cut the meat. Then we have had a lot of great days at home and a lot of friends.

Thanksgiving Day at my granny’s house it is like at a party and we are having fun. We eat a lot of food, and there is a bunch of people. It is my favorite day because it is like at a party because there is a lot of kids a lot of good JOKES and fun. There is a lot of turkey and fruit at the dinner too.

prayed to God they would get in prison or sent out of Eng-land. The Indians sailed for two months and found land and had a big feast and it lasted for three days straight and the Indians taught the Pilgrims to hunt and after that they left to find a better place and had their first baby and named it Oceanus.

— Colton Cross The Mayflower was a ship

for Pilgrims. They traveled so they could worship God. The king of England did not let them worship God. They had a feast in 1620. Wampanoay Indians were very nice. They gave them food and seed and corn.

— Jack Todd Nearly four hundred years

ago the people in England were not very happy. The king did not let them pray to God what they wanted to. He king said if they didn’t do what the king said the king will put them in jail or take them away from home. So they packed up and they got on two ships called the Mayflower and the Speedwell. In middle of the ocean they called their selves Pilgrims and there came a baby Pilgrim was born, his name is Oceanus. Some of the kids were not very happy. They did not want to go to church, barely prayed on the Mayflower. They been on the ocean for two months and then finally the ship landed at Plymouth Rock. The fields were beautiful. They met Indians, they met the leader Squanto. So they stayed there and they built churches. They had Thanksgiving feast for three days.

— Julie Johnson It was the first Thanksgiv-

ing. It started in 1621. They lived in England. The king made them say a prayer just like him, if they did not they would go to jail. They de-cided to move to a far away country, Holland. They hired 2 ships, the Speed Whale and the Mayflower. The Speed Whale was having trouble on the way. The 2 ships had to turn around. There was over one hundred people on board, it was very crowded. A woman had a baby. She named him Oceanus. Some kids got mad and grumpy. Oceans’ mom let him play with him, it made smiles on the kid’s faces. They looked for people and all they saw was Indians. When the Indi-ans saw them they run away. They were on the ship for 2 months. They finally landed on Plymouth Rock. They built houses. It became very cold outside, some people got very sick as half the people died. It was very sad for the people but they were thankful for what God gave them. They decided to have a big east. The Indians brought deer. The people were very thankful for what they had to eat but everyone’s first Thanksgiving wasn’t like it. I did not eat fish or deer.

— Kamlyn Cundiff Long, long time ago there

was a king that would not let the Pilgrims pray what they wanted to pray. Then the Pil-grims went depart. Then they got on a ship and they were on the ship for two months to get to Plymouth Rock. Then they got settled in and they build a church, a house and they had a feast and they had corn pud-ding, deer and turkey.

— Brayden Tatum


Allen 3rd grade students told us about the First Thanks-giving . . .

Long ago there was a king. He would not let the people pray the way they wanted. If they did, they would go to jail or be sent away from their home. They took a ship to a new land. There were Native Americans (Indians) living there. The Indians were afraid at first, then they taught the Pilgrims to plant corn. They helped each other. Then they had a big dinner. The Indians brought turkey and corn. The Pilgrims brought pumpkin pie. They were at peace.

— David Scott On the first Thanksgiving

many years ago, the Pilgrims came over from England. They had a rough first winter but they made it through. The next year they had a big Thanksgiving with the Indians who had taught them to plant corn and other food. They also had clams from the ocean.

— Luke Chapman The Pilgrims came to Amer-

ica and made a day called Thanksgiving. They had a pumpkin pie and corn and turkey and ham, and they had some deer skin made into jackets, and they learned how to make corn with dead fish and little pieces of corn.

— Brittany Chitwood On the first Thanksgiving

the Pilgrims and the Indians had a feast. They had pump-kin and turkey and deer. They ate at the end of the year. The Pilgrims had a warm house to live in but that was 4000 years ago. Everything is better now.

— Zeke Delerosa A long time ago the Pilgrims

were not happy in England. So they took a boat that was called Mayflower. It was a long, long ride. Many people got sick. One day they landed in a land called American. There was nothing but trees. They saw some Indians. The Indians helped the Pilgrims thru the cold winter. When it was spring an Indian came to say with the Pilgrims to teach them how to plant crops. It was November. It was very cold. They had a feast they called it Thanksgiving. They had turkey, pumpkin and corn and other good foods. And that is how Thanksgiving came to be.

— Olivia Wallace On the first Thanksgiving

Pilgrims went to America on the Mayflower. They didn’t see white people. They went to a land named Plymouth Rock. One Indian named Squanto helped them plant corn and hunt. They invited the Indians to Thanksgiving. The Indians and Pilgrims had a good time.

— J.W. Wainscott 300 Years ago Pilgrims and

Indians and Squanto had a feast and had fun on Plymouth Rock. The Indians played with the kids and had fun with the Indians and, you want to know how they got here, I will tell you how they got here. It started a long time ago on a ship. The ship was called Mayflower. They sailed for many days and many nights. And that was how they got here. They sailed from Eng-land.

— Desiree Files Before the first Thanksgiv-

ing a long time ago, Pilgrim people went in a boat named Mayflower. The boat traveled a long, long way to look for land.

— Ethan Holcomb On the first Thanksgiving

people called Pilgrims were not happy at their home so

they got on a boat called the Mayflower. Then they were on the Mayflower for weeks. Then a baby was born named Oceanus. A few weeks after Oceanus was born they found land but half of the people were sick. Some Pilgrims got off the Mayflower and looked around, saw nothing but In-dians. And then they met a nice Indian named Squanto. Then Squanto taught the Pil-grims how to hunt and grow food. Then they had a feast they called Thanksgiving. And then they played games, danced and everything. Who could shoot the best did the raccoon dance. I guess it was fun.

— Julius Higdon On the first Thanksgiv-

ing 300 years ago, give or take a few, there was the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth Rock. And what did they eat? I’m guessing they ate clams, turkey, corn, goose, duck and fish. How did they get there – went on the May-flower. Many people got sick and even some died. But they also ate pumpkin pie and all sorts of food. And the people who ate were the Pilgrims and Indians. And I’m happy that we have Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite.

— Trevor Stradford Long ago there were Pil-

grims and Indians. Pilgrims had to go on a ship from England to America because Pilgrims didn’t like England so they wanted to try America. They stop at Plymouth Rock. There was nothing but a forest and meadows. Indians helped the Pilgrims how to hunt and fish. The Indians showed the Pilgrims how to plant corn.

— Emmet Wayne Koonce 300 Years ago the Pilgrims

sailed to America. They met the Indians and later on had a Thanksgiving feast.

— Makenzie Smart 300 Years ago there were

people called Pilgrims. When the Pilgrims were about to leave their home they decided to go to America. When they were aboard the Mayflower it took a long time to get there. But some people got sick. When they got on an island the Indians were there. They taught them to grow corn and hunt. At the end of the year all the Pilgrims had houses to live in. Then they made a holiday called Thanksgiving.

— Michael Newbold What I think happened on

November’s last Thursday is . . . They got on the Mayflower. Then some got sick. Then a lot. There it was, America. Our nation. They met the Indians who helped them grow crops, hunt and prob-ably more. Then the feast, yes Thanksgiving. After, I’ll guess, they went to their houses, warm houses, and slept.

— Kelsey Hurt On the first Thanksgiving

Pilgrims were lost at first. They found a place where there was no city, no houses, and they found a land with Indians and the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to hunt and grow corn and catch fish and the Indians taught them all the hunting and how to grow corn and they all had a big Thanks-giving. One hunter shot a lot of meat and shot a lot of duck. They ate corn and turkey and grew a lot of mashed potatoes in a tiny garden and they had enough food for a week and they all had a good Thanksgiv-ing and this all happened 300 years ago.

— Lily Jude Matthews On the first Thanksgiving

the Pilgrims found Indians.

They boarded the Mayflow-er. They went to Plymouth Rock. Squanto helped them. Thanksgiving was the happy part of their life. They cel-ebrated Thanksgiving. Makes you dance. They had fun. They had friends and family. The Indians played with kids. They went to war to fight. “Are you awesome?” asked one Indian. “Yes, yes, I am.” They went to war again and again. “I need food,” said a Pilgrim.

— Kason Linder On the first Thanksgiving,

300 years ago, the Pilgrims sailed to American on a ship called Mayflower. They had no food on the ship. They needed to go hunting r fish-ing but finally they saw land and Indians. And the Indi-ans taught the Pilgrims ho to grow corn while the boys are hunting and the land they were on was called Plymouth Rock. The man came back with food so they “throwed” a Thanksgiving party and they invited the Indians so they had deer meat, pumpkin, of course corn, and all the good food.

— Aubrey Scott On the first Thanksgiving

the Pilgrims went on a ship called the Mayflower. The Pilgrims did not like England. They traveled far away. When they got to land they found friendly Indians. The Indians showed them how to plant food like corn. To plant the corn the Indians put an amount of dirt and put a tiny fish in the ground and then they put seeds of corn in the ground about 300 years ago. There was an Indian called Squanto. The chief was Mastuit. The Pilgrims and Indians had a party. The Indians stayed for three whole days! The Pil-grims were so happy. The Pil-grims thanked the Indians for their help. The Pilgrims had enough food for the winter. They even had enough there for a week. And on the May-flower many were sick and many died. They ate all of the food in the Mayflower. They sailed all across the ocean. They loved the Indians.

— Savannah Geyer Long ago there was some

people called Pilgrims. They sailed on a boat called the Mayflower and they came to America. And they did not see buildings or homes. They only saw trees and grass. And there was some Indians and the Indians helped the Pilgrims hunt. The pilgrims invited the Indians to eat. We call this Thanksgiving.

— Lance Johnson On the first Thanksgiving

the Pilgrims did not like Eng-land and they left. The May-flower took them across the ocean, many people got sick and they nursed them as good as they could. They landed on a place called Plymouth Rock and they had eaten all the food. They needed to find food. Indians taught them to find food and they used their skills and got food. They built houses and they had plenty of food for winter.

— Chandler Wallace Nearly four hundred years

ago many people in England were very unhappy because their king would not let them pray to God as they liked. The king said they had to say the same prayers that he did. If they didn’t they would often be thrown into jail or perhaps be driven away from home. So they sailed to a country called Holland. They sailed on the ship called the Speed-well and the other one was the Mayflower. The Speedwell was not a very strong ship so it had to turn around so

the Mayflower turned around too. Part of the Speedwell’s passenger were loaded on to the Mayflower. There were hundreds of people, mothers and fathers, sisters and broth-ers, and little children. It was very crowded and uncom-fortable. The sea was rough and pitched the Mayflower about and they had to deal with it for two months. The children cried many times. They wished they never came cause the ship rocked them so hard they could not stay still a minute. When they were on the ship someone had a baby and named him Oceannus. So when the kids were mad, tired or grumpy, the baby’s mom let them play with him and he would always bring smiles to their faces. When they landed they planted their crops and waited till fall. In fall they had many crops and they were very thankful cause God is the one who made them grow. One of the Indians named Squanto helped too. Since they were so thankful they decided to have a feast. They called the feast The First Thanksgiving. That was then they had the first Thanksgiving. To eat they had deer meat, turkey and they made bread and they had corn from their crops. They invited the Indians and whatever the Indians wore was their very best. But every time one of them went near the baby it would cry cause it was scared of what the Indians were wear-ing. At the first Thanksgiving the Indians had a shooting competition and they had a lot of fun. The first Thanksgiving lasted three whole days. But now Thanksgiving lasts only one day.

— Malloree Howard Nearly 400 years ago in

England, the people wanted to pray to God. The king would not let them unless they prayed the same as he did. So they traveled to Plymouth Rock. They arrived in 1620. It took one year for them to build their houses and settle in. Then they met the Indi-ans and they became friends. Then they had a big feast. They ate deer, fish, pumpkin, corn, bread, cornbread, corn pudding and los more. They called it the first Thanksgiv-ing. They celebrated for three days! That’s the story of the first Thanksgiving.

— Brogren Goodson Long, long ago there was

Pilgrims and there were Indi-ans and they started Thanks-giving and it’s been going on for years and years and I will tell you how it happened.

Nearly 400 years ago in 1621, the king of England did not like the way the people were praying and he said to them that if they don’t pray the way he did then they have to leave or go to prison. So they left anyway to a place called Holland. When the children grew up they acted bad and often did not want to go to church and barely prayed for the cold month of November but all they see is trees and rocks and sand for no one had food to eat. Some friendly Indians that taught them how to plant food. And the chief Squanto thought that they should have Thanksgiving and everybody thought that was a good idea. The Indians stayed there for three days because they liked the people so much for how kind they were and that was the story.

— Abbey Strong In England there was a king

that wanted his people to say his prayers and wouldn’t let his people pray to God as they wanted to but if the people

The First Thanksgiving


Long, long ago, about four hundred years ago, there lived Pilgrims and Indians. The Pilgrims used to live in Eng-land, but they traveled away because their king, when they were in church, he made them pray as he did. The Pilgrims traveled to Holland. After they traveled to Holland they hired two vessels, one was the Mayfl ower and the other was the Speedwell. When they left, the driver on the Speed-well noticed that the Speed-well was not strong enough so both of the ships had to turn back. When they returned the people on the Speedwell had to get on the Mayfl ower. They traveled on the Mayfl ower for 2 months. Then they fi nally found land. When they fi nally got to Plymouth Rock it was winter. It was cold and none of the kids could play outside. When it began to turn into spring some of the Pilgrims died. After they had moved in to Plymouth Rock one day, they met the Indians. They got to be really good friends with the Indians, had a feast because they were thankful for what they had. They had this to eat, eels, turkey, pud-ding, corn meal, deer meat and fi sh. Their Thanksgiving lasted 3 days, because the In-dians liked them very much. That is what the Pilgrim and the Indians did on the first Thanksgiving.

— Ava Laden Nearly 400 years ago there

ruled a powerful king and the England men and women were not happy because the king did not let them pray the way they wanted. Then the Pilgrims got two ships, the Speedwell and the Mayfl ower. Then they set off in the deep sea. They landed at Plymouth Rock but before they landed at Plymouth Rock there was a baby Pilgrim born and they named him Oceanus and then for two month, then they laded at Plymouth Rock and in 1621 the Indians and Pilgrims had a feast. They had turkey, corn meal, cornbread and gravy.

— Riley Tomb One time they were on a

Mayflower and they had a baby and they named him Oceanus and the Indians help kids grown corn. This hap-pened nearly four hundred years ago. Thanksgiving is when you eat turkey. And the king would put them in the prison because they would not pray like him.

— Jagger Caldwell A long, long time ago the

king of England wanted peo-ple to pray like him so they left their homes and everything else they had. They made a church, they were called Pilgrims. They sailed on the Mayfl ower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell didn’t last long. People got sick on the Mayfl ower.

— Kyra Billey The Indians found corn

and then shared the corn with the Pilgrims and the Indians learned the Pilgrims how to hunt. And the Pilgrims had a baby in the middle of the ocean and they named him Oceanus. The Pilgrims left because the king was very, very, very mean. But the Indians and the Pilgrims shot their guns and their bows.

— Dillon Blessing On the fi rst Thanksgiving

there were about 400 years ago and the king would not them say their own prayers so they ran away and then they changed their names to the Pilgrims and they walked around the world. It started in “1961”, they ran away from

Allen Third Graders andthe History of Thankgiving

from Page 14

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs’ Thanksgiving week cal-endar will feature a menu of basketball practice, scrimmages and a holiday break.

Coach Greg Mills was slated to travel down to Coalgate High School on Tuesday for a session with the Coalgate Wildcats.

A week-long vacation would be nice. However, the Mustangs are eager to get their program into a position to be competitive in short order.

“We will open (the sea-son) at the Pontotoc Confer-ence Tournament,” Coach Strong said.

The fi rst job is to settle on the playing time for the players … and any rotation plans that will be needed for the team.

Tommy Peay is the only true starter returning this year. The 6-1 junior forward will be in the mix for a lot of playing time.

Coach Mills provided a brief overview of his front-line candidates for playing time during the tournament and probably beyond.

Kanan Wisdom appears to be a leading candidate for the point guard post. The 5-8 senior has caught the coach’s attention.

Christian Henry is in the mix for playing time. The 6-1 junior is listed as a center.

Three sophomores are also vying for starting or playing time in the 8-man rotation. They include Lo-gan George, a 6-2 forward; Josiah Jones, a 6-1 forward and Ty Brown, a 6-2 cen-ter.

Drew Back is a junior 5-8 shooting guard who earn-ing some starts last year. He will be working to earn a similar role on the latest Mustang squad.

Colby Eaker is 5-9 sopho-more guard who also played for the Mustangs last year.

Lady Mustangs’ versatility to pose problems for foes

Coach Jeremy Strong looks to great blend of height and quickness to fuel performance

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen High School girls will present basketball opponents with multiple challenges due to the Lady Mustangs’ versatility this season.Coach Jeremy Strong explains the various approaches his team can take during games.“We can go with a little bit of everything,” he said. “We can go big or we can go little or we can do a combination of both. I believe our team can match up defensively with most teams we’ll play. I really like our size or length and the fact that we have some quickness too.”

The top forwards will be 5-11 junior Charlea Leonard and 5-11 sophomore Faith Caldwell.

“Charlea and Faith are the starting forwards,” the coach said. “We also have a lot of depth there in the post. We also have Chelsea Wedlow, Brooke Holbrook and Emily Nelson.”

Kennedy Prentice (5-6) is the point guard. Alison Sells (5-5) is projected to the start as the shooting

guard position.Junior Hannah Heck (5-7) can play either guard or

forward. Alycia Evans (5-6) is slated to be the fi rst guard off the

bench. “We will also have other girls who will role players off the bench,” the coach said. “We know these girls. We won’t have any surprises. These kids have been here for a long time.”The coach is happy to see softball star Abbey Gaines rapidly on the mend. “Abby tore her ACL and has returned from that,” he said. “That injury has set her back and she has a lot to learn. But she will be someone that will help this team. She is one of our post players and she’ll get some good playing time.” The coach is watching closely the guard play. He is eager to see more scoring develop on this roster. The Thanksgiving break will provide him the opportunity to see the girls going through the workouts in the days leading to the season opener.“We will practice this week and we’ll have a couple of scrimmages,” he said. “The girls will be off on Thursday but will come back on Friday.”“But we also know that family comes fi rst,” the coach said. “If they are in town (on Friday) and want to come up and work out or shoot, we’ll open the gym and want them to do that. But if they are out of town then they don’t have to get back here for Friday’s practice.”Allen went begin the season early next week. The Lady Mustangs will compete in the Pontotoc Conference Tournament at Stonewall.The leading contenders for the title will be Allen, Roff, Stonewall, Vanoss and Asher.“I believe the girls are ready to start playing games,” the coach said. “I am guessing they (Lady Mustangs) will be nervous when we get out there. If you don’t get nervous, you probably don’t care very much. The other teams will have played 7 or 8 games. It will be our fi rst game when we get into the tournament. The main thing we need to do is get there and get our legs going … and just play basketball. This will be a work in progress.”The Allen coach is not sure how high his team will be seeded in the tournament – or how high up the list the Lady Mustangs will be compared to the other conference foes.“I believe we will be in the top 4 … anywhere from fi rst to fourth,” the coach said. “I don’t know how the voting is going to go. But it really doesn’t matter to me where they place us. If we are going to win the tournament or league, we are going to have to beat everyone anyway! I won’t be worried too much about where we are picked to fi nish.”This conference tournament will be a major test for the Lady Mustangs. But Coach Strong expected the other two tournaments Allen will play will also help to test them and to prepare them for a playoff run.“We are going to play in the Moss tournament,” the coach said. “There will be a good number of strong teams from Class A and B in the fi eld. It will take a really team to win this tournament. For me, I believe it will help to prepare us to play the tough teams in the playoffs. It is a 3-day tournament just like those playoff tournaments – Thursday through Saturday.”The other tournament on Allen’s schedule will be the Tri-County Tournament at Oklahoma Baptist University.“The OBU tournament is another really good tournament with a good fi eld of teams,” the Allen coach said. “All three of these tournaments are used to help us get ready for February, for the playoffs. Good, strong tournaments do that.”

Mustangs holiday menu includes scrimmages

Coach Greg Mills uses practice and trip to Coalgate to prep his Allen squad

Fernando Medina is a 6-0 junior guard who moved to Allen and is vying for min-utes in varsity games.

“We are looking at all of those guys,” Coach Mills

said. “Right now, we are trying to smooth up some things on offense and de-fense. We are just trying to clean this up before the conference tournament.

the king and they did not like their church and they ran to America. One of the Indian members was nice. The Pil-grims landed on a ship named the Mayfl ower and there was another ship named the Speed-well. They were very, very nice and they were thankful for this holiday. And when they loaded the Mayflower they went by Plymouth Rock. And the Pilgrims had a baby and they named the baby Oceanus.

— Keithon Howard About 400 years ago the

king of England wouldn’t let the Pilgrims pray the way they wanted to. So the Pilgrims sailed away. Their ships were called the Mayfl ower and the Speedwell. Then the Speed-well would not make it so the ships turned back and got on the Mayflower and started their journey again around No-vember. They had a new baby and they named him Oceanus and then close to December they saw land and the island was called Plymouth Rock.

— Conner Smith There were 2 ships, the

Mayflower and the Speed-well. The Pilgrims lived in England. The Pilgrims had a baby named Oceanus. They landed on Plymouth Rock and made the 1st Thanksgiving and invited the Indians.

— Isaiah Merritt Nearly four hundred years

ago in 1620, the Mayfl ower sailed the sea. In England 1620 the people had to pray like the king wanted them to or they would get thrown in jail. So they sailed 2 ships. 1 ship, the Speedwell was hav-ing problems so the Speedwell sailed back, the Mayflower sailed back to England. The Speedwell could not make it so the Mayfl ower was the only one who made it. They fi nally seen land. Indians were on the land. The Indians were nice so they celebrated with a party. They had turkey, deer, corn, cake and other stuff too.

— Tessa Rowsey The Pilgrims were the 1st

Americans. You probably want to know what Pilgrims are. Pilgrims are people that liked to pray to God. You might even know them as Christians. You might want to know what Christians are, they are people that pray to God, any time, any where. The Pilgrims had to sleep on the wood. Some had to sleep on hay. They made a big feast and invited the Indians to thank them for all their help. It lasted 3 days.

— Levi Mann A long time ago there were

people called Pilgrims. If they did not pray their king of Eng-land would throw them in jail. This all happened in 1621. The Indians helped the Pil-grims have their best holiday and it is Thanksgiving. And they were very poor. They ate deer, turkey, fi sh, rabbits, squirrels and ham. I wonder if they had a wishbone to pull and I bet the big, big Pilgrim had one big time.
