We wonder if Billy Duke real-

The shorthand and bookkeep-

Christmas party. Sounds good.
Lamar is undecided about who
to ask to the banquet but Betty
has hopes.
We wonder if stogie was play-
> ing basket ball at the gym Tues
night.
Bobby Mallory must have de-
cided on Helen. He sits with her
in assembly.
Also sitting together were Pete
and BettvStevens.
Football boys aren't very good
singers. We were misinformed.
We have learned our lesson.
Believe us we will never run and
be late to class again.
We wonder why Dorothy Bla-
lock was so embarrassed in His-
tory class.
Pete seems to like Fay Sal-
mon at Hawkins now.
Don doesn’t seem to like the
idea of Jim Thomas flirting
with Betty.
Why is Virginia Long called

M. H. S. Gadabouts
Bonnie Jean went to Long-

weekend visiting her parents.
Grace Landers spent last
weekend at home with her pa-

Since gas rationing, there
aren’t so many gadabouts.
So that is about all that have
managed to come and visit and
go.

Saturday’s Child—By Kath-
leen Morris.
A watm absorbing story by.
an author whose priceless gift
of understanding makes her
novels true to life and her peo-
ple real.
Rim of the Prairie—By Dess
S. Aldrich.
A refreshing novel that will
delight everyone with its taste
for genuine American life and
scenes.

Thomas.
A true saga of the men who
daily risk their lives in callings
that take them into the very
teeth of death.
Here Comes the Sun—Emilie
Ragged Water—Joseph Lin-
coln. There is a flavor to a
Lincoln novel that no others
possess and this is assuredly
salty with it.
With the Government Classes
Do the names Hull. Morgen-
theau, Wallace, Knox, lekes
mean anything to you? They
do to the students in govern-
ment because the study of the
cabinet is being modernized.
They are keeping in tune with
the time Government students
are going to be well informed
when the next few days are
over. The President’s Cabinet
and what each member is doing
is their subject for the week.
With the Latin and
Spanish Classes
The Latin I class regrets los-
ing two of its members. Jackie
Hopper and Fannie Gammel. ‘
Excellent work is being done by
most of the students. They have
already reached the point us-
ually attained at midterm. Their
study at this time is the prin-
cipal parts of verbs, the forma-
tion of the perfect tenses, and
the translation of sentences and
stories illustrating these.
The Latin II class will com-
plete the study of the various
kinds of subjunctives this week
and will begin the study of
Greek and Roman myths and
of Bible stories.
The Spanish I classes like
their new text. El Mundo Es-
panol. They are trying to learn
the pronunciation of Spanish
words, and they read stories
about the homes and customs
of the Spanish speaking people
of the world. They have acqul
ed a vocabulary of several hun-
dred words.
The Spanish II pupils are
learning the Subjunctive mood
and also are studying about the
cities of Spain; about some of
the heroes; and about Spanish
life and customs in general.
Later they will read about Mex-
ico.

The ’lecfric train that wasn’t there
L
SOME tilings are hard to under-
stand when you’re six. Long be-
fore Christmas, Daddy explained
why there couldn’t be a new elec-
tric train this year. But Jimmy
kept on hoping ... maybe .. .
somehow . . . Santa Claus. . . .
Jimmy’s a good soldier. He’ll
get along with his old wind-up
train that jumps the track. And
Daddy will tell him again how
the wonderful electric locomo-
tive, with its light and whistle
— and all the shining cars — are
going into gun parts now.
And maybe Daddy will add
that the same electricity which
drives tiny trains is also driv-
ing the big machines that make
bombers and battleships. We
hope Daddy does mention it.
We’re proud of the part that
power plays in war production.
Every war plant has had
ample electric power when it'
was needed. Millions of ext-ra
kilowatts have been installetJC-
until today America hay'far
more electric power than all 0ur
Axis enemies combined!
And seven-eighths of all this flood
of power comes from the electric
com patties under American busi-
ness management.
Power is production — and pro-
duction points to Victory. . . .
Then real Christmas will come
again — and Jimmy will get his
electric train.

An Editorial
With what terrible bitterness
aching fear, and desperate lon-
liness the people will hail Xmas
throughout Europe’s conquered
land. With the howling wind
whistling through the bart
wire of concentration camps
and driving snow drifting: thru
the rude tents upon the ill clad
bodies of the homeless people,
thoughts will come to the Poles,
French, and all the other mil--
lions, of what Christmas once
meant to them.
No longer wiil that Holy day
find the simple splendor of the
peasant celebration in Poland
—a largfc supper table, filled
with steaming dishes, around
which is gathered the entire
family, afterward there will be
no practice of taking slices of
bread and placing between them
bits of food which is then fed
to each farm animal. Following
this practice handed down from
generation to generation, che
family dresses in its warm
clothes and get into the sled
which father has ready and
waiting; and so to church they
go. Tiny bells clang on thqrflAr-
ness of the horses ENMtffcn fin
sleigh. These bells make pleas^"
ant jingling sounds as the
sleigh slides rapidly over the
snow. The service lasts until the
alock starts to strike twelve;
then a solemn stillness holds
the crowd. As the hands reach
an upright position, the organ
peals forth its joyous music
while the people offer their
simple thanks.
This Christmas there will be
no celebration, for there is no

The story of a family that is

homes. Their story is played out
in a small middle western town
and is a wholesome, joyous, and
truthful one.

talk but rather one for quiet
