with the orginal Christmas cards made by the junior typing class M. H. S. Music! Music! Music! And this is what there was when the Monmouth band and choir presented their first Christmas concert. One of the most impressive scenes was the girl’s chorus singing “O Holy Night” and in the background was a live scene of Mary, Joseph, and the Babe. Nothing is more enjoyable than Christmas music and this program was especially well done. M. H. S. The annual PTA Christmas program was held Tuesday. The students in grade’s 1 through. 6 presentetfseveral ctmstnfas sWs S M activities. A "thanks” goes to Mrs. Vera Harris, faculty chairman, for directing the program. Claudia Caston, senior speech student, served as mistress of ceremonies. After the program, Santa Claus handed out a treat each child. M. H. S. The Future Homemakers of America organization had their second meeting December 16, at the home of Marcille Buuck. Members decided that they would go Christmas caroling today. A committee including Linda Kruetzman, Jackie Hurst, Joyce Busick, and Jeanette Fuelling was appointed to handle the sales of Monmouth “Eagles" license plates. After the business meeting, gifts were passed out by Santa Claus. The next meeting of FHA will be held Jan. 20, 1958. I M. H. S. “Thank goodness, it’s done.” I For the past month, the senior spee-

ch students have been writing their ideas and opinions of the constitution.

Mrs. Geraldine Herderhorst arranged the trip. . M. H. S. When the talk Kets around iothe, serious side of Christmas, the juniors should be able to enter into the discussion quite easily. By now they have a great many ideas because of the fact that they have read editorials, plays, and stories as background material for the oral compositions they were asked to give in English 11 this week. M. H. S. Sports wise at MHS the story is this last Thursday, the MHS junior high and freshman basketball teams both lost to Decatur.

The score was 37-28. M. H. S. Everyone at MHS is sorry to say but the story with the high school team is about the same as the junior high. Last Saturday

night, the Monmouth teem went down in defeat to the Roll team by a 46-56 score. M. H. S. • Tommorow night, Friday, is the chance to make up for last Saturday night though. Monmouth will be host to the team from Bryant in the Eagles fourth home game. Bryant had better look out ‘cature Monmouth’s out to win. M. H. S. Everyone here at MHS wishes everyone .pise a Merry Christmas. May this Christmas be merry—and meaningful. M. H. S. PLEASANT MILLS HIGH By Janice Smith
