SPOTLIGHTING SENIORS
By Janet James

Food for Thought – Life’s a climb, but the view is great.

Just for Laughs – Through the pitch –black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: “Change your course ten degrees east.” The light signals back: “Change yours ten degrees west.” Angry, the captain sends another signal: “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!”

“I’m a seaman, second class,” comes the reply. “Change your course, sir.” Now the captain is furious. “I’m a battleship! I’m not changing course!” There is one last reply: “I’m a lighthouse. It’s your call.”

Let’s celebrate Mothers Day all month. Fill up our bulletin board with sayings, stories, and memories of our mothers. We will have paper and pens available for you to use.
