The December meeting of the
high school student body took
place Friday afternoon. The be
ginning of the meeting was rude
ly interrupted by the clamourous
ringing of the fire buzzer, and all
the students rushed to their posts
at the fire, extinguishers or out
of the building. The fire drill
was over in a few minutes, how-j
ever, and the meeting preceeded
tranquilly. Plans were made for
the annual Christmas party, at
which refreshments are served
and gifts exchanged. The idea of
giving a Christmas program for
parents and friends of the stud
ents met with approval, and an
evening of excellent entertain
ment is planned. The momentous
business of drawing names for
the Christmas party gifts took up
some time. A price limit of 50
cents was set on these gifts, whi
ch are usually of a comic nature
and add greatly to the hilarity of;
the party. Actions taken by the
Student Council at their recent
meeting were discussed and ap
proved.
An inquiry has been received;
from the Seward High School as:
to the interest in formation of
rifle clubs to compete in postal
matches. A meeting was called
of the high school boys, and were;
enthusiastic about the prospect.
The major difficulty is the prob
lem of securing a rifle range.
Several business men have been
approached, and it is hoped that
an inside range may be secured,
or a closed shooting box for an
outdoor range.
That the baseball season is not
far off is evidenced by the activ
ities of Mr. Jacobs and several of
the high school boys yesterday
afternoon. The lines, of the base
ball diamond were scraped and
repainted, and now all is in read
iness for Wednesday night’s
games (except perhaps the teams)
Although the high school was
unable to put a team in the lea-;
gue this year, several of our boys
were seen on the floor in recent
practice games. Martin Willoya,
last year the star pitcher of the
Huskies, and Ernest Burgh are
turning out with the Alaskans;
Lincoln Ost and Kermit Rock are:
strengthening (we wonder) the
Federate; and we hear that Har-!
old Berg is making a good show
ing with the Hammonds. It looks'
like that powerful high school
rootinig section is going to be di
vided this year.

Ec. girls went on a field trip to
the North Pole Bakery. There |
they were shown the ovens, mix
crs, and other equipment and saw
bread being baked. The expedi
tion was a success from other
angles than increasing knowled
ge, for they were served vanilla
wafers and delicious ice cream, j

GRADE NEWS
“Christmas is coming. Hooray!
Hooray!" is the dominant thought
of the grade school these days.;
The Community Christmas oper
etta is progressing rapidly, withj
practices and the making of cos-'
tumes having an important place
in the daily schedule.
The rooms seem to be vieing
with one another to produce the
most effective Christmas decora-1
tions. The first and second grad
ers out Christmas Eve scenes
from colored paper—a fire-place
with leaping flames, stockings
hanging from the mantel, and a
cat dozing before the fire. They
also made Christmas cards to
take home.
The second and third graders’
original Christmas designs are
very artistic. Made with crayons
on three foot squares of paper,
some of the designs, which were
made without any suggestions
from the teaoher, show real origi
nality and skill at developing an
id:.a.
The fourth and fifth grade room
is decorated with such Christmas
cut-outs as Christmas trees, holly
wreaths, and candles.
The sixth and seventh graders
have made a very effective bor
der for their room—igreen paiper
Christmas trees alternated with
leaves of ed and green. They al
