H. 8. — A talented member of the senior class has written the following Christmas poem, which we huge everyone will enjoy. “Peace, Good Will Toward Men” “Peace, Good Will Toward Men” How often we hear this phrase The one that was told so long ago By the Angels who gave their praise And sang, as the star shone above The place where Jesus lay, Surrounded by and Wisemen, On a tiny bed of hay. Peace and good will is yours to give, So now at Christmas time As you see the choirs singing And hear the church bells chime, Give tidings of peace and good will to all; And, too, be of good cheer, For now is the time to set yourself right For happiness next year. — D.

i. ' . I fit MifeSr *wl t * r ffSMART SANTA From the looks of things, Santa might be on a sit-down strike. Seems he should be much too busy this time of year to be caught in such a relaxed mood. ... But don't worry, kiddies, Santa is hard at work. He’s doing his Christmas shopping, believe it or not. Santa, you see, is like a lot of other smart folks here in town who believe in shopping local stores. Santa knows well that service and satisfaction are guaranteed when you do business with people you know. And, tho you may not have &en him, Old Santa has been spending his spare moments in our hometown stores, just browsing around and making notes on what they have to offer in the way of gifts for everybody on Santa’s list. Now that the list is completed, he-s doing his shopping the easy way—by telephone. On the opposite end of the line, a courteous clerk is taking Santa’s order. The gifts will be gaily Christmas wrapped and delivered —or held at the store on call until Santa comes by for them at his leisure. How modern can this Christmas shopping be? Lots of folks in town are taking a tip from Santa this year. They’re doing their Christmas shopping with our local merchants, either by telephone or through a casual visit to the stores. And, just in case, you haven’t had the opportunity to visit our local merchants this holiday season, we have it straight from Santa that their shelves and counters are bulging with hundreds of wonderful Christmas items available at prices that just can’t be beat!

and everyone is truly grateful for the victory which ended basketball until 1956. Incidentally, boys, thanks for the Christmas gift! — M. H. S. — The most exenpsive and time consuming way to date of popping corn was inaugurated last Tuesday by the chemistry class. A solution of £alt water was evaporated; to this was added a little pop, corn butter and corn which w>s then heated by a bunsen burner. The entire process took place in a glass burner. The entire process took place in a glass beaker, and it proved to be quite a fascinating sight. The results? For a full-scale description just ask several of the teachers. — M. H. S. — Never before have such delicious and completely delectable articles of food been perfected in the home conomics room. Nearly every home economics class has taken time off from their regular course of study to make some type of Christmas cookie or candy. One aci cident occurred, however, which had some striking results. A pan i of hot butterscotch flipped very

neatly to the floor. The next day several very startled boys exclaimed. “Hmmmmm! My piece tastes just like varnish. Wonder why? „ — M. H. S. — Just imagine how long it would take to mold, bake, and decorate 500 Christmas cookies!! This is exactly what Lorraine Haugk and Vivian Fuelling have been doing for the past few k< ltays. These cookies were a delicious part of the splendid Christmas dinner which was served to us Thursday noon. — M. H. S. — Flickering candles and glowing candleabra transformed the gymnasium into a peaceful spot for w’orship last Tuesday evening. The occasion was the religious Christmas program given by the lower 6 grades for the P.T.A. After the
