During the last assembly we would sing (actually bellow at the top of our lungs) one of my fav hymns God dismiss us with thy bessing Thanks for mercies past recieve Pardon all their faults confessing Time that's lost may all retrieve May thy children (repeat) Ne'er again thy spirit grieve. Of course their is a companion hymn that goes something like: God Behold us with thy blessing, once again assembled here........

During the last assembly we would sing (actually bellow at the top of our lungs) one of my fav hymns

God dismiss us with thy bessing
Thanks for mercies past recieve
Pardon all their faults confessing
Time that’s lost may all retrieve
May thy children (repeat)
Ne’er again thy spirit grieve.

Of course their is a companion hymn that goes something like:
God Behold us with thy
blessing, once again
assembled here……..

He's not really "out". He has to stay "around". I don't think they want him to skip the country. So, he's on vacation but NOT really. Go figure.

You know once the "powers that be" determine a certain amount of days in school constitutes an academic year, you simply can't decide to play around with the bureaucracy using something as foreign to them as COMMON SENSE. That's like expecting elders to consider something from your perspective. Just ain't gonna happen. One of those fascinating mysteries of life. Randy. Randy. Randy.
