Wishing your life away
From the time we are old enough to
comprehend what the future holds, it
seems Weare wishing our life away.
As .a .pre-schooler, we can't wait to
start school. Once that happens we
can't wait to finish public school and
get on to high school. When that time
in life finally arrives, we can't wait to
get out of high school and on. to post-
secondary pursuits. Through that grind
our minds are concentrated on ..getting ,
out into the `working world' and mak-,
ing our way in life.

in, the cycle .continues. We

The- story behind the word
belfry - n originally, and
properly, a "watchtow-
er,"
this word has
absolutely nothing to do
with : belts. Belfry comes
from '. the • two.. Old
German words bergan,
meaning "to protect,"
and frit, "a tower." At
one period m the' Middle
Ages in Europe, times.
were so truubiedthat
every town had a watch-
tower on which guards.
wereposted. day and
night to keep an eye open
for approaching enemies.
When these were sight-
ed, it was normal prac-
tice to warn everyone by
ringing a. bell. 'When
times . became more
peaceful, and guards
were no longer needin
the belfries, the bells
were left there or -bells
were installed. In the
English of the times, the
word for watchtower,
which came from the
German, was berfrey,
which, through associa-
tion with "bells", became
in -d a course' the belfry,.
and later ` the wordwas
applied to that part of a
church tower in which
the bells were hung.
