functions held during the past week
was the Christmas entertainment and
box social at the Hemberger school
house in District Six, about sixteen
miles southeast of Julesburg. A large
crowd was present and it is putting it
mildly to say that all in attendance
enjoyed themselves immensely. Miss
Eva Hiatt of this city is the teacher,
and she was the recipient of beautiful
presents from each one of the patrons
of the school. A splendid program,
consisting of dialogues. recitations.
etc, was rendered by the pupils of the
school. The Xmas spirit was manifest.

corated for the occasion. The neat
sum of s13.4G was realized from the
sale of the boxes, the proceeds to he
used by the school for the purchase Of
books and supplies. Miss Hiatt fur
nished Xmas treat of candy and pon-
corn balls to the pupils. 1t was
most delightful occasion.

NEWSY NOTES FROM THE
SEDGWICk co. NIGH SCHOOL.

We have all been busy the last
week of school getting off the Jun
ior Red Cross boxes for the Sedgwick
County boys in the various camps.
Each box contained 4 small gife, home
made candy. pop corn brick and q
home made Christmas cookie. The
The money taken in the the two Lit
erary programs was used for this pur-
pose. although each member of the
Junior Red Cross contributed twenty
five cents also. We wish to thank all
those who, because of their donations
or work made our enterprise a SUI
cess. Thanks are especially due to
Mrs. l.. E. Petersen for donating fifty
beautiful Christmas booklets; to z. N.
Cleveland for making US a cut price
on all the gifts we bought from him,
and to Mrs. B. Engelhardt for baking
and donating the Christmas cookies.
Mr.. Hansen, the social welfare work
er, spoke to the students at Chapel
period Wednesday, and again at three
o'clock in the afternoon. His talks
gave everyone who heard them some
thing to think about
Chapel period Thursday vas used
for the discussion of subjects relating
to the work of the Red Cross. Naomi
Frederick told of the lives of Florence
Nightingale and Clara Barton, the
two greatest women ever in Red Cross
work Mrs. Reich read some articles
which explained how each and every
one can help the need that is every
where apparent. Then Mr.. Young
read a story that told of the condi-
tions in Europe, particularly France,
which the American Red Cross is en-
Geavo' ing to I.,le"e
Friday at Chapel time. Mr.. Young
entertained the students with the read
ing of a lively story that was much
enjoyed by all. In the afternoon the
Faculty gave mock track meet and
gym" party to the students. Every
one competed with everybody else in
demonstrating how good a time could
be had
Prof. Young is spending the holi-
day season in his home town, Swans,
Colo.
Vacation is to last until Wednes-
day. Jan. 2, which means much Joy to
all concerned.

One reason why so many boys and
girls, men and women are uninter-
esting, is because they try so hard to
be like somebody else rather than be
content to remain himself or herself
in life. In nature you don't see an oak
posing as willow, or black duck as
yellow leg or horse a sa COW, or
lily as rose, or lilac as a peony, or
a dog as cat. Be NATURAL and you'll
be all right.

to tell US how many people have been
