THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
The true Christinas spirit what is ii? Docs it consist of buy-
ing two quails of spiiits in a bottle "taiotising" aiouiul and
getting "lit?" Does it mean that we hang aiouiul ccitain people
(whom we formcily consideied insipid) and "do our Christinas
hinting early?" Does it mean that we deck mu halls with holly
and cedar gorge ourselves with iood anil throw the Jciuaining
"grub" to the fatted swine?
Or lather does it mean hunting a poor lonely child and
feeding it clothing it giving it warmth? or helping sonic "down
and out" person who is on the veigc ol dcmoialialion by saying
"Buck up pal you're doing fine?"
Is that so difficult? If you think it so remember the number
of times when you fell you hadn't a friend. Didn't it look easy
for some person to greet you with a fiiendly slap on the back say-
ing "It can't be that bad?" And how it docs help!
If you are going home for Christmas why not icincmbcr that
mother needs a new pair of glasses or a nice pair of hose? Or that
dad needs a ncw hat and cigarette lighter?
If you are not going to be home at least wiite your folks
won't you? Would it not make them happy to rcalic that you
thought of them.
Try it. I will bet my bottom dollar it will mean nunc of a
thrill than idly squandering your time and money on yourself.
Try it and see if the head docs not go higher and the lips
begin to spread in a grin.
And remember when you smile the angels sing.
THE YEAR TO COME
The new year is just around the corner and even with a peris-
cope no one knows in what form or in what appaiel the year will
finally appear.
Many plan to usher the new year in in grand style with a big
celebration and others will probably sleep right thiough the
thrilling hours. Some will make icsolutions and almost as many
will break resolutions.
The Daniel Baker students will be scattered to all the near
by towns many towns a long way away and in many states. The
ways they celebrate New Year's will be as numerous as .students
of Daniel Baker and the resolutions made and broken will pioba-
bly be accounted for accordingly.
Even if many resolutions are broken making them is an im-
portant feature for that is giving serious thought to what is really
needed to better the world school and own life Let us start the
new year with a bang and keep it going as if we loved school to the
fullest of our ability hen we will really enjoy our life here and
will gain much from the contacts we make during this coming year
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Christmas use to be a lot of fun way back in the days when
we weie children. There was no time of the year more packed
with excitement fun and happiness than the days when Mother
began to say "You'd better be good or Santa Claus will see you."
Those were the days when you had faith in everything and every
one; when your life and problems were the kind you simply passed
on to your parents and forgot to worry over. Those were the days
when all your sins were forgiven because you were just a child.
When your life's work was to play and grow and be happy.
Then after the brief period of blissful happiness you had to

They tell us of the blushing
bride
Who to the altar goes;
Down the center of the church
Between the frlend-fllled rows
There's BUI whom she motored
with.
And Bob with whom she swam;
There's Jack she used to golt
with him
And Steve who called her lamb.
There's Ted the football man
she owner
And Dan ot tennis days;
There's Herbert yes college
beau
With whom she used to mush
No wonder she's a blushing
bride.
Ye gads! She ought to blush.
