Milford School News By PAULA BURGETT ' The Yuletide season is here and s everyone is in the Christmas spirit. 'There's so many places to go and I so much to do. It leaves us aM in • a state of perplexity, but we enjoy jit just the same. Last Tuesday night the annual Christmas program was held. All who participated put a lot of hard work in preparing it I’m sure we’ll all agree it was worth it. Wednesday we received our report cards for the second time this year. Now we can »=njoy the holidays without worrying about graded Next week we only go to school one full day. We get out half a day on Tuesday. This gives us plenty of time to get ready for the Rhetama Christmas dance. It is the first big project of the new speech and dramatics dub and we’re all excited. MHS - SENIOR OF THE WEEK GINGER HOLLAR Ginger is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. . Paul Hollar of Milford. She is 18-years-old and was born November 6, 1946. Outside of knowledge. Ginger s major gain from her years at Milford has been seifconfidence. Being varsity cheerleader for four years is the most highlighted point of her education. After graduating next spring Ginger plans to attend Indiana Central college. So far she hasn’t decided what she’ll be studying. The world's future is a big question says Ginger. The upset in Russia government is going to make quite 3 change. AU the fighting should be slopped and we should make this a peaceful world. How we can accomplish the goal is as yet, unanswerable. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the generation graduating next June could find the answer? Ginger feels that the negroes should have their freedoms. She i doesn’t like the way the Civil ; Rights Bill is composed It doesn't I state clearly just what should be. I done abort this situation. Ginger s word of advice to all underclassmen is rtudy, study and study. | ' —MHS— I FRESHMEN NEWS By DiAnn Fisher It's the end of another six weeks and report cards will be coming 'out.

Hoosier Happenings

AG’IN IT — A report that a round, flat hot dog shaped to fit a circular bun is being served at the New York World’s Fair has aroused the ire of an Indiana editor. Robert Cloyd Jr., editor of The Lafayette Leader, is opposed to the innovation. Says Cloyd: “The hot dog has long been one of the most convenient sandwiches ever put together. It can be eaten from either end with equal ease. The hot dog is the only sandwich identifiable in total darkness without your first having taken a bite. There are strong suspicions that hot dogs are only thing holding together what’s left of major league baseball.” ALWAYS 42 — The Williamsport Pioneer has discovered an odd coincidence in the McCabe family. In 1880 Edwin F. McCabe of Williamsport graduated from Wabash College. Forty-two years later, in 1922, his son, Edward L. McCabe, was in the Wabash graduating class. This year, after another 42 years, James E. McCabe, son of Edward L., and grandson of Edwin F., graduated from Wabash. BIG DELIVERY—In 1962 trucks hauled 313 billion ton-miles of freight in intercity transportation, more than 23 per cent of the total ton milage compiled by all types of transportation. This was an increase of. 260 billion ton-miles over 1939 when trucks transported less than 10 per cent of the total. COUNTY NOMENCLATURE — When LaPorte County was organiled in 1832 it was given the French name. “La Porte.” meaning "The Door." Bordering on the state of Michigan it is the doorway from Indiana to the north country. STILL TINKLING - An Indiana editor/C. J. Stotts, publisher of The Odon Journal, has preserved for posterity three grind organs of the type popular with both children and adults back in the 90s. One is a burdy gurdy street piano that was imported from Italy 100 years •go. Its tinkling tunes arouse a lot of nostalgia in old timers and seem to bring much pleasure to new timers.

Milford Choirs Present Inspiring Christmas Program Tuesday

The Milford high school and junior high choirs under the direction of Joseph Judkins and Mrs. Justin Kneeland presented a most inspiring and delightful Christmas program Tuesday. Christmas decorations, beautiful lighted trees and outstanding lighting techniques helped to transfer the members of the large audience into the true spirit of Christmas. The first part of the program was presented almost entirely by the senior members of the choir. They were seated at table in a ; holiday setting and sang “It’s Bt 1 - ginning to Look Like Christmas , “Mistletoe and Holly”, “Ring Those Christmas Bells”, sung by a trio, Janet Ramser. Michelle Conn and Sharron Moneyheffer; “Pine Cones and Holly Berries" and “If Santo Claus Were Crazy”, which brought about a visit from the red-suited man with the long white beard. Janet Ramser closed this portion of the program by singing “All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”. Senior choir members are Arlene Anglin, Steve Baker, Carol Beer. Mike Hamilton. Rebecca Hoerr, Ginger Holla’-, Larry Hoover, Sharron Moneyheffer, Alanna Om, Pam Phend. Ann Purdum. Janet Rtamser. Judy Rapp and Max Ruch.

‘FufYi, Fum. Fum’ "Fum, Fum, Fum” was the title of the first song presented by the junior high choir. It was followed by the trio singing “What Child Is This”. Members of the trio are Debra Wolferman, Deborah Jessop. and Rebecca Brown. The choir then sang “Hush My Babe”. “While By My Sheep”, and “Go Tell It On The Mountain”. This portion of the program was closed with “O Holy Night”, a solo by Kristi Phend. Candle Light Processional The high school choir, wearing the new stoles recently purchased by the Music-Parents club, entered the gym from the rear singing “O Come. All Ye Faithful” as they marched in candlelight procession to the stage. Other songs were ‘“Twas In the Silent Night He Came”; “Harken All, What Holy Singing” with soloists Diana Dwyer and Beth Hoover; “Sing We Noel”; “Ave Maria”, beautifully sting in Latin by soloist Sharron Moneyheffer; “Carol of the Bells": “Hasten Swiftly, Hasten Softly”, a little known Christmas song that brought many good comments from the people present at the concert: and “Alleluia”, a solo sung to perfection by Michelle Conn. Singing Tree Members of the dioir then formed the traditional Christmas tree which had been loved by area residents for many Christmas seasons. The first number was “O Christmas Tree” and was followed by Sharron Moneyheffer singing “Jesus Holy Child” from the top of the tree. The program was completed with the singing of “Silent Night” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. The choirs were accompanied by Kristi Lichtenwalter at the organ and piano, Michelle Conn at the piano, Mrs. G. F. Wolferman at the organ, Ginger Hollar at the chimes, and Sherri Graff at the piano for the junior high choir.

SYRACUSE SUMMARY By Jo Ellen Schoeff As Christmas draws nearer the fruits of toil during this season become visible. No where is this more true than in the community schools. Gay decorations are going up all over the school and many extra-cur-ricular activities are centering on the Christinas theme. For example: the Tri-M Christmas Hop on Saturday, Dee. 19, from 8 to 11, and the Winter Concert by the band and chorus on Sunday, Dec. 20. The Jackets were defeated on both Friday and Saturday nights, but you can’t say that they didn’t try. There was one casualty in the game Saturday night for the Jackets. We all wish John a speedy recovery and hope that he’ll be as good as new by 1965, friends , . . If you are in need of CASH for Christmas shopping, or to pay old bills a cordial welcome awaits you. In one short visit we will arrange the CASH you need into one convenient loan I with payments you can afford. t JACK ELAM, Mgr. Phone: 457-3532 103 E. Main St., Syracuse
