Brad and Haeseung Park with Jane and
David-Mary, Joseph and Jesus all have the
oriental look in the manger scenes in Korea,
and the three wisemen are clad tn traditional
Korean clothing. Since the Korean War
ended in 1953, a children's choir from South
Korea travels to the Demilitarized Zone and
faces north, singing Christmas carols to
North Korea. A big food item at Christmas is
the rice cake soup.

Sanders said one of the best
pans of the system was that
teachers only had to worry about
teaching.
"the teaching methods are
fairly similar to the methods we
have learned, but there was -no
textbook," Sanders said, "the
administration of grades was not
up to the teachers, and the
teachers did not give test. That is
left up to other people.
"That’s bad in a way because
the teacher really doesn’t know
how a child is doing in the class.

It sounds like a student’s
dream.
Teachers don’t give tests or
grades.
Students are free to come and
go. There are several breaks
during the day including a long
lunch recess.
The longest school day is six
hours. Students are free to come
and go as they please, and don’t
have to worry about tardy slips,
getting a "note from their moth-
er" when they’ve skipped a
class, or any other worries.
It’s not Heaven. It's the
English comprehensive state, or
public, school system.
Hereford’s Holly Sanders,
who graduated from Hereford
High School in 1984 and grad-
uated Saturday from Texas Tech
University, got a first-hand look
at the British school system as
part of the Tech student-teacher
program.
Sanders returned from the
three-week field trip to England
on Monday.
"I went because I thought it
would be interesting to know
what a classroom was like in a
different country," Sanders said.
Tech sponsors the program
every semester, and about 20
other prospective teachers from
Tech also went on the trip.
"Their teachers have a lot of
trust in their students," Sanders
said. "It’s much more relaxed,
and much less restrictive. It’s no
big deal if someone is late to
class.
"there were actually very few
discipline problems because the
students were mostly from nice

Hamilton did a yeoman job of lining up this contest an signing up more
competitors. He made sure the items being gathered by the
competitors were those most needed by the stocking fund.
We also want to thank all the churches, civic clubs and individuals
who have coordinated their assistance efforts with CSF, in order to
avoid duplication. We saw a great many social clubs donate funds to
CSF this year, as well.
We are also blessed with wonderful merchants to work with when
we put our food basket purchases and clothing vouchers into motion.
J.C. Penney, Anthony’s, Winn’s, and Gibson’s work well with us our
clothing and blanket needs, and Moore’s Jack & Jill and Hereford
Meat Market have been more than generous with us in helping to
supply our grocery needs.
Hopefully, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for those of us on the CSF
committee to thank one another for the mutual support, hard work and
fellowship, and the fun. It is indeed rewarding to see the payoff on a
community’s holiday efforts when someone in need gets help and
hope.
We thank God for the opportunity to serve, and for the rich
blessings he showers on this effort each holiday season through the
fine people who donate to the Christmas Stocking Fund.
May the good Lord grant all the people of Hereford and Deaf Smith
County the most blessed Christmas ever.
Sincerely, the Christmas Stocking Fund Committee

The heartfelt thanks of lhe 1988 Christmas Stocking Fund
Committee go to the people of Hereford and Deaf Smith County who
have reached out yet again to help their fellowman at this holiday
season.
CSF has enjoyed remarkable success these last couple of yean.
That success could not have come without .he help of folks who care.
God has blessed us richly in that regard.
Our appreciation to KPAN Radio and The Hereford Brand, who
have played such a vital role in making the stocking fund a community
concern by piqueing our consciences.
As always, the folks at the Deaf Smith County Red Cross have done
a wonderful job of handling the hundreds of applications and their
processing. Their help is priceless in making the entire CSF project
flow smoothly.
CSF has truly become a community-wide project his year. Our
children in all the schools of Hereford have set a fine example of
sharing for us to follow with, their efforts in food drives on their
campuses. The stocking fund will be able to extend much more
assistance to the needy this year because of their help.
Thanks to all the "friendly competitors" who got their own food
drives going-West Texas Rural Telephone Co-op, Deaf Smith Electric
Co-op, Whiteface Ford and Deaf Smith General Hospital. Paul

HOLLY SANDERS
The only way a teacher knows if
a student has failed is if the
student shows up in the class
again the next semester.
"But, it’s nice for the teacher
because the teacher just has to
focus on one area, teaching, and
doesn’t have to worry with the
administrative duties that take up
so much time.
"They don’t take many tests.
They only have tests once a
quarter, and it is up to the stu-
dent to prepare for lhe test.
There’s just one big test and one
big grade, and the students have
about a week off from school so
