Christmas Program
All the boys and girls of Whitewater had their Christmas exercis
es in the hall of the school build
In Friday afternoon. Songs and
recitations made up the program
The following poem is the one that
Elizabeth Kring recited:
We hear in the evening a rousing
ring We hurry the door to open fling
And, sure as you live, with his long
white hair
And jolly red face, Santa Claus i3
there!
He opens his pack with a laugh
and Bhout,
And take the presents he tosses
about.
Then he's off, but Just after his vis
it is o'er
Uncle John comes in at the other
door!
And that's what we do at our
house!
What do you do at your house
When Christmas eve is nigh?

Red Cheeks and Pep
By Mollie Price Cook It used to be the fashion for girls to be weak. Femininity was judged by fragility. Nowadays the table has turned. It is the fashion for a girl to be strong and healthy. Everybody admires an athletic girl. A real girl wants to have . red cheeks, a fine skin, and lots of "pep." She wants to be good to look at, to radiate sunshine so she
can impress the people she meets.

MAKING PICTURE FRAMES By Marie Soovtllo "I bought four of the (inkiest pictures in Jacquin's Book Store today, exclaimed Peggy's big sister, Alice. "I happened to see iay favorite magazine cover among them. So I bought it and three others which I liked. They are covered with olsmu u.4 around the
edges with Mack tape. It makes them stunning. "Two especially charming ones will be lust the thing for Betty's
new.8un parlor..-. I'll give them to her for Christmas. The best thing about it is that they were only seventy-five cents apice. They were displayed in the window with a card underneath saying 'Have your favorite magazine cover framed. Just the thing for Christmas presents. Orders taken.' " "Why I know who makes them," cried Peggy, "Elizabeth Ramsey, is in my room in school She has filled ever so many orders already. Last week, she got two department stores and that book store to display some pictures she had framed
on her own noon witnout oruers for them. They really are artistic and very attractive. All during the year, she saves unusual magazine coversa pretty head or a good picture by some well-known artist, or a striking convential design such as appears on some of the
smart fashion magazines now and then. She has made arrangements with a hardware store to cut glass
to fit each picture at about twenty
cents aplce."
Almost any girl can do just as
Betty Ramsey did and make a neat little sum out of it too. The materials needed and the work re
quired are very simple. The pas-
partouting tape comes on a spool. It has glue on one side. Card
board cut from shoe or suit boxes
makes the back of the picture. The class, picture, andcardboard are
bound together the edges wih the tape. When they are so bound together, the tape makes a iu-al, black frame for the picture The only proMem then remaining is. to market the pictures and this may be solved just as Betty solved it by arranging for some store to
display the completed pictures and

But just as he was getting, in bed, he heard something moving downstairs. He went down and was going to open the door when some
body locked it. He went upstairs
and cot dressed and came down
and went out to look in the window. But Santa Claus had shut down the blinds. The boy thought it was no use' to get 1m - He was going to go in as Santa Claus stuck his head off the roof of the house and the boy saw it. Just then Santa said something and his deers came bounding over the roof. He gave a jump and landed in the sled and went on his way. Then the boy went upstairs and went to bod. Robert Morgan.

Santa Will Not Forget C V iul- D-. V tU A
Juniors ' will surely be glad to
Santa Claus. Know mat tnere are a 101 or uig
Claus came Brothers Who live In the "Y" dor-
mltoryi brothers who are fond of little chaps and who love to make them happy. They want to help a
lot of little fellows who are to be chosen, by the Social Service bureau to have a goo time and to receive gifts from Santa Claus, no matter how busy Santa may be on Christmas eve, which is the great est children's night in all the year. So, then, to be sure that these boys may not be missed by Santa, in the great rush of Christmas eve, Mr. Wm. Friede, who lives at the Y. M. C. A., has engaged Santa to be-atMhe "Y" at 6:30 next Monday evening. W. II. Allen, I. W. Coffin and August Wagner will meet all the youngsters who are present and will tell Santa just what presents the boys want from the big tree, and will also arrange a lot of games for the boys to play, so that they may have the best time possible. Of course the Big Brothers may not know all the boys wh are fo come to this Christmas party, but a lot of nice ladies who uo kuow (very one of them are to bring the ittle fellows, just at the right time, so that they may not miss a thing on the program for the evening.. The Big Brothers met at the
"Y" on Friday night, nearly fifty of them, and after the supper they sat around the tables and talked' about making children happy at Christmas time, and all the time, whenever they could. The Juniors know that there are some little boys who do not have so many gifts as other boys do, an there are many little girls, too, whose letters do not reach Santa Claus ; in time to be answered with the presents they bo much wish for. Of course we all hope that every little boy and every little girl win be remembered this year and that each may get just what they want In their stockings or from the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.
Wc ehave no doubt that the kind ladies who are to take the boys to see Santa at the "Y" on next Monday evening, 'will also see to it that all the little girls are remembered with gifts on Christmas, because they want to see each of them happy. The Bible tells us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. And that is true. We are always the happier for making others happy; for giving to those who need; for being kind and thoughtful and generous, not only at Christmas, but on every day in
the year. We are sure that all the Big Brothers at the "Y" are happy over their plans for Monday evening, and will enjoy every minute of the giftgiving and playtime with their young friends who are to meet Santa, who will also be happy to see them. The Christmas spirit is one of love, of hope and of happiness, and-it should be our greatest pleasure to share our gifts and happiness with those who are less happy and fortunate than ourselves. We hope that every Junior will do all that he or she can to make every poor little boy and girl happy on Christmas day, if they happen to know any that live in homes at which Santa may forget to leave presents from his wonderful pack.

The history lesson was about the Vikings, and the teacher (and this happened in a Richmond school, too) said of these pirates of the northern seas, "Wherever they went, they plundered and murdered and left only blackened trails behind them." "Now, Prometheus (only this wasn't his name at all), can you tell me what the words 'blackened trails' mean?" Prometheus: "It meant that the vikings had black feet."
