Christmas is for the birds!
Roughly translated this is the
meaning of the old French song
“Noel, Noel pour les Petites Oi-
seaux.” Actually it is a heartwarm-
ing story about the struggle of
birds to survive during the winter
months. This quaint French melody
is SAC instructor Gilbert Bleau’s
contribution to The Ranger Christ-
mas edition.
During the Christmas month, De-
cember, the ground is usually cov-
ered thick with snow, and the
birds must hunt constantly for
their food if they are to survive.
This particular holiday season is
always a time of rejoicing for the
human population the world over,
and during such rejoicing there
is always a time for great family
dinners; at the conclusion of these
l dinners the table cloths are always
taken to the back door and their
crumbs are shaken to the ground.
Thus, a great abundance of food
is created for the starving birds,
and they will be able to survive
the winter months.
With food in their “little tum-
mies” they have a bright hope that
spring will arrive soon. This is na-
ture’s way of providing the birds
with enough food and it is their
greatest sign of hope for spring.
So you see, Christmas is for the
birds!
The schools represented ranged
from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Alpine,
Texas—300 and 5'00 miles respec-
tively from Dallas.

eight other members of the facul-
ty in addition to Mr. Frank Smyrl,

invitations to become consultants
for Choice, a book review journal.
Those who have accepted are
Mr. Ernest Joe Harber, assistant
professor of Biology; Mr. John Igo,
assistant professor of English; Dr.
Marjorie Walthall, professor of
Music and Education; and Mrs.

liam Fleming, associate professor
of History; Dr. John Brantley, as-
sociate professor of English; Dr.
Louise Gossett, assistant professor
of English: and Mr. Melesio Casas,

Public relations Director Dr.
Clyde R. Nail, who is also presi-
dent of the Lion’s Club, presented
checks to two local groups in be-
half of the latter organization.
The Lighthouse for the Blind
and the Crippled Children’s Camp
in Kerrville, Texas, received $1,800
and $750 respectively.
After that the professors were
on their own to gather other data,
and to investigate research pos-
sibilities for themselves or for
their senior or graduate students.
“Increasingly, the Department of
Labor’s functions affect the Amer-
ican economy and the Nation’s
manpower,” said Chairman Fred W.
Erhard of the Regional Staff in
Dallas. “Our concern with such
items as employment, training,
safety, living costs, wages, and
automation now is shared by mil-
lions of citizens. And the Depart-
ment is becoming recognized as a
potent force in the country’s af-
fairs.”
. . . And lo, the star which they had seen in the
East went before them, till it came to rest over the place
where the child was. When they saw the star, they re-
joiced exceedingly with great joy, and going into the
house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and
they fell down and worshipped him. Then opening their
treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense
and myrrh.—Matthew 2:9-12.

“Father, into the hands I commit my spirit!” And
having said this he breathed his last.—Luke 23:46.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the
soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and put it on his head,
and arrayed him in a purple robe; they came up to him,
saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with
their hands—John 19:1-4.

So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own
cross, to the place called the place of a skull . . .—John
19:17.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up ac-
cording to custom; and when the feast was ended, as they
were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem
. . . His parents did not know it . . . After three days they
found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions; and all who
heard him were amazed at his understanding and his an-
swers.—Luke 2:42-48.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice
. . . “My God, my God, why has tthou forsaken me?”—
Mark 15:34.

And when Jesus was baptized, he went up imme-
diately from the water, and behold, the heavens were
opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a
dove, and alighting on him; and lo a voice from heaven,
saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased.”—Matthews 3:16-17.

Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve
came and said to him, “Send the crowd away, to go into
the villages and country round about, to lodge and get
provisions. . . But he said to them, “You give them some-
thing to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five
loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for
all these people.” For there were about five thousand men
... And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked
up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them
to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and
were satisfied. And they took up what was left over,
twelve baskets of broken pieces.—Luke 9:12-17.

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infir-
mity.—Matthew 9:35.
Letter to the Students
Dear Students,
You may have thought that it was just like those in-
human teachers to demand that your English and history
term papers be turned in before the holidays. You had
hoped to have the holidays to work on these drudgery-
laden papers.
Everyone looks forward to the holidays as a means of
catching up. But here’s one aspect of this so-called catch-
up period that you may not have thought of. (Let’s hope
that you didn’t end any of your expository perfections
with a preposition.) Those Simon Legree-type teachers
are also hoping to use the holidays to catch up—on paper
grading, that is.
Just think of all the term papers they will be read-
ing. Each English instructor has approximately 125 stu-
dents; that’s about 1,250 pages to read.
Take pity students! If not for them, then for your-
selves! Let’s also hope that you were careful in writing
those papers, because if you were not, after 1,000 pages
of student-written themes your red-eyed instructors may
not be too patient with careless grammatical errors.
You still have a little time before the end of the day
to make a few last minute corrections. The grade you save
may be your own.
Madamoiselle
By Teddy Sawyer
Roll out the red carpet; Christ-
mas has come to town! And along
with this gay festive season comes
the whirl of parties that you and
yours will be attending. May we
offer a few suggestions that will
help you put your best fashion
foot forward?
Verve black sparkles its way
through all the gay holiday par-
ties and shouts from the house-
tops its perfect sophistication! A
simple black velveteen sheath ac-
cented with just a hint of sparkle
is perfect for any occasion. If
you prefer, accent your black
with shoes in bright holiday col-
ors of red, green, or gold.
Winter white wool would make
any holiday festive when compli-
mented with gold. Gold can be
used effectively in several ways,
a small ring of gold. God can be
used effectively in several Ways:
a small ring of gold to enhance
your waistline, gold sparkle
sprinkled through your hair, gold
jewelry with lots of drops and
shimmers, or perhaps gold eve-
ning shoes and a gold bag. Re-
member. a little gold dazzle goes;
a long way, so don’t overdo the
shimmer.
New Year’s Eve is a night that
calls for that special someone and
the perfect dress. For this special
event, may we suggest the warm
bright color of red. Red is a color
that can be worn most effectively
by a large percentage of the fe-
male population. Try a form-fit-
ting sheath of red velveteen ac-
cented with a scooped neckline
and long tapered sleeves, or a
feminine eye catcher in red bil-
lowing chiffon that emphasizes a
small waist. Compliment your
dress with red satin heels and
the subtle glow of rhinestone.
Have a happy holiday!
The instructors had a morning
session with the department’s key
officals to freshen up on cur-
rent operations and procedures.
At noon the group had a joint
luncheon meeting to get acquaint-
ed.
“The Individuality of Prose
Rhythm” was the topic of a speech
by Dr. Louise Gossett, at the Jef-
ferson High English Honor Society
Christmas program, December 3.
Following her talk, Dr. Gossett
answered questions from the
group.
Professor Truett Chance of San
Antonio College and representa-
tives from 15 schools in Texas and
Oklahoma attended a one-day Col-
lege Conference held by the
United States Department of Lab-
or, December 9, in Dallas. All of
the instructors teach college
classes in labor economics, man-
agement,. labor law, or related
subjects. The meeting was held in
order to augment understanding
on both sides—professors and offi-
cials.
