EDITOR. MARY HOOD CHAPMAN
Wishing to observe Christinas,
and yet feeling that an evening
program so near the Community
Tree entertainment would be out
of place, the High School has de
cided to hold its Christmas pro
gram Wednesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. The Glee Club, un
der Miss Stubkjaer’s direction,
has been working on Christmas
music for the past month, and
will present some beautiful group
and individual numbers. Two
short plays are being prepared,
one by the eighth grade, and one
by a group of Sophomore. The
public is cordially invited to at
tend.
Thursday afternoon the tradi
tional High School Christmas
party will be held in the Assem
bly Room. Gifts will be exchang
ed and the students will eat,
drink and make merry, before
adjourning until January 3.
The High School is proud of its
boys. In Wednesday night’s base
ball game all the High School
players made excellent showings
for their team. Lincoln Ost, who
pithed the entire game for the
Federals, had the Alaskan batters
waving futilely at his fast balls.
Martin Willoya, star pitcher for
the Huskies last year and this
year in the box for the Alaskans,
played a spectacular game. And
Harold Burgh and Kermit Rock,
shortstops for the Hammons and
Federals respectively, both play
ed top-notchgam es.
Sixsweeks tests, ithe cloud that
has no silver lining, have come
and gone once more. A week of
intensive study and prayers was
terminated Friday afternoon with
sighs of relief. Report cards will!
be distributed the latter part of ,
next week.
The Christmas issue of the North
Star is rapidly taking shape, and
will be ready for distribution
next week.
The Home Be girls are busy
with Christmas preparations. Af
ter Christmas the girls will have
another six weeks of cooking be
fore they start on the sewing and
personal appearance project whi
ch will extend into the Spring.

GRADE NEWS
Six-weeks tests and daily prac
tice for the opere ttaha:ev .j
tioe for the operetta have kept
the grade school busy this week. !
However, they found time to
continue the decoration of their
rooms. The first grade room
boasts beautiful candles on the
window panes and Bethlehem
scenes cut from blue and black
paper above the blackboard. Their
sand table is a playground for a
whole family of Santa Clauses
and prancing reindeer made of
modeling clay. The second grad
ers in Miss Bouck’s room made
holly wreaths of green paper to
hang on the door and in the win
dows. The third graders cut out
a lovely silhouette of the wise
men approaching Bethlehem, for
the blackboard. The blackboards
of the sixth and seventh grade
room are decorated with Christ
mas scenes drawn with colored
chalk.
Costumes for the operetta are
also being made by the pupils.
The third grade is making pleat
ed yellow ruffs for the sunbeams,
the fourth and fifth grades are
making soldier costumes, and the
girls in the sixth and seventh
grades are making their own
fairy costumes.
The eighth grade English class
is practicing a play which will be
given for the High School pro
gram Wednesday, December 22.
The play is entitled “Christmas
Eve at the Mulligans.”

Among older women rounded up
here the big cause for landing in
Los Angeles or Hollywood is
“mental unbalance”—which by,
the way, might or might not have
some connection with the movies.
"It’s just a myth,” Mrs. Cross
says, “about girls being Lured,
here by the movies. There has
been too much publicity about
the futility of coining to Holly- j
wood and trying to break-in.”
