[■■l■l■ .U I ' ■ ■

Back to school once more and not another vacation for quite' a long time. Envigorated with many New Year’s resolutions and “gear-' ed put’* with’ snappy new,

clothes and accessortesfrom "generous old Santa,” most Monmouth students are ready for “the second lap” — determined to make this the best semester ever. — M. H. S, — This Friday night the Eagles will play Geneva on the MHS floor. This being the first game in 1859, maybe the basketball boys made a resolution to win this game, and let’s hope that they keep it. — M. H. S. — A dance sponsored by the student council, will follow the MonmouthGeneva game. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hoffman will be spinning the platters for rock n‘ roll, polkas, round and square dancing. M. H . S, — If a senior speech students should have a worried look on his face, it is probably caused by the fact that his constitution speech will soon be due. Then comes the job of memorizing the entire speech. - M. H. S. - ... game in j»8 tvas a loser for the Eagle team as the Bryant Owls defeated the Eagles, 55-44. — M. H. S. - On December 18, the annual P.T. A. Christmas program was given by the pupils in grades one through six. A short business meeting preceded the program. The pupils presented the Christmas story in song and pantomime, and at the climax of the evening a visit from Santa overwhelmed the small children. Jean Kolter served as mistress of cermonies. — M. H. S. — After the student body sang several Christmas carols, Dwight Schaefer introduced the chapel speaker, the Rev. W. L. Bruner, retired minister of the First Christian church, who gave a very interesting Christmas sermon at Monmouth's regularly scheduled chapel service December 17. Students look forward to these services, because they give them an opportunity to take stock of themselves which they don't often have a chance to do. — M. H. S. — On December 23, the student council was in charge of presenting a Christmas program. Along with the speaker, the Rev. L. W. Schujleuberg of the St. Paul Lutheran church, the high school chorus, a brass sextet, a girl’s duet and

S. — The junior class of MHS is making black and white shakers for the county tournament. These will be sold at toe candy store the first of next week.

S. — The principal of MHS, George > Martin, and his family just returned from a two week vacation in Florida. They spent their Christmas vacation there with Mrs. Martin’s parents.
