A CHRISTMAS PARTY
Rotarians couldn’t wait for
Christmas so they had a little
Christmas party all their own last
Tuesday .following their luncheon.
Gifts were exchanged among the
members and revealed many amus
ing selections.
Rev. Sturmer of the Russian Or
thodox Church, gave a humorous
account of his recent trip to New
York. Due to his singular facial
adornment, a distinguishing beard,
he seemingly met with humorous
incidents, all told with good hum
or and wit.
Carl Huer, a contractor, received
a building set. “Torgie” Torgerson,
president of the Bank of Kodiak,
was the recipient of a dozen eggs.
Bob Acheson, dealer in various
makes of cars, recived a small toy
Ford, a rival product. Jay Wolf of
the Kodiak Cleaners, received as
his gift, a bottle of spot remover,
Wilson, the barber, was given a
which be promised to use. Curley
bottle of Quick home permanent.
Ur. A. Holmes Johnson and Dr.
Bob Johnson were each given
many “tools” to aid in their work.
There were many more of a like
nature given to the other mem
bers.
“Zero” Syphers was presented
with ivory cuff links as a going
away present. His replacement at
ft* uso, Howard Demarest, was
a guest of Rotary.
MINING STUDENTS
Deceive certificates
Fifty-five persons received cer
tificates over the weekend marking
their “graduation” from the Uni
versity of Alaska school oi mine’s
annual mining short course.
One of the speakers at the cere
mony was Otto Wiliam Geist, re
search associate in palaeontology
at the university and a student of
the first short course in 1925. He
spoke on Pleistocene mammals.
Other speakers included Dr.
Neil W. Hosley, university dean,
and Phil Holdsworth, commission
er of mines for the Territory of
Alaska.
“This class is in a better posi
tion than the last 15 to follow pros
pecting and mining because of the
new interest by outside companies
in Alaska’s mineral resources,”
Holdsworth said.
He stated there is more inter
est in base metal mining, although
gold mining still is very important.
Earl H. Beistline, dean of the
school of mines, said such courses
are helping to develop the mineral
resources which play an increas
ingly important role in Alaska’s ec
onomic development.
The “graduates” came from
many distant points, including Se
attle and the Yukon Territory.
Winter weather is not very
bothersome . . . so long as you go
to Florida.

GEOMETRY CLASS DECORATE
SCHOOL LIBRARY WINDOWS
(. This week the geometry class
under the direction of their in
structor, Mrs. Karl Brunstad, put
their knowledge ‘of geomentrical
design into a productive beautifi
cation of the high school library.
Their individual, original handi
work covers the lower window
panes.
Superintendent Schott has grant
er permission for the rights to be
turned on in the library until 10
o’clock at night during the Christ
mas holidays for those desiring to
view the beautiful stained glass ef
fect.
The summation and consumation
of this project as each day students
added other completed work, pro
vided a continuous source of added
aesthetic pleasure to the beholders
—other students and teachers.
The sunlight on t the pictures
brought about a shadow-play of
multi-colors on the blond tables
and chairs, the white and red
miniature sled, Santa and reindeer,
resting on top of the new low
steel shelves; on the bulletin
boards filled with Christmas Greet
ings from former students and
teachers (among them Sue Daly,
Natalie Ponchene, and Mr. Don
Morgan, recent principal) on the
ornamental topping the silver oak
card cabinet; and the mizzen orna
ments and letters bearing the mes
age of “Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men!” i

A CHRISTMAS COLLECT
The Business and Professional
Womens organization use the fol
lowing collect in their ritual. It
was composed in 1904 by Mary
Stewart, and has since been used
by various organizations.
BPW members feel it aptly ex
presses the deep and true meaning
of this sacred Christmas period,
and wish to share it with readers
of the Mirror. We reprint it here
wdth.
COLLECT
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in
deed. Let us be done with fault
finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and
meet each other face to face-with
out self-pity and without preju
dice. May we never be hasty in
judgement and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; .
make us to grow calm, serene,
gentle. Teach us to put into action
our better impulses, straightfor
ward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is
the little things that create dif
ferences, that in the big things of
life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and
to know the great, common human
heart of us all, and, oh Lord God,
let us forget not to be kind!

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANT FOR CHRIST!
SEPARATION
SERVANT -
\
SACRIFICE -
WHAT CHRISTMAS SHOULD MEAN
FOR YOU AND ME
SALVATION - A Savior, who delivers from judgement; gives
victory over sin, and provides comfort in trials
and sorrow.
SANCTIFICATION - “Set apart tor God.”
SERVICE - Living to glorify Christ.
■ Left the presence and glory of the Father.
"But made Himself of no reputation, and
took upon Him the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men."
Suffering, Shame and our Sin-bearer.
