There is u great deal Of pep" and
enthusiasm in our high school through
out the school year. Ii begins with
the first day of school and ever in
creases until the climax is reached
at the oratorical contest in February.
The football has its supporters and
''peptomjsts," then come the basket
ball enthusiasts, but the one thing
that "gets everyone" is the oratorical
contest. This is a decided compli.
ment TO our school 1t is evidence
OF an all around education. We can
give mental contests their proper
place with physical contests.
This splendid spirit is already in
the air. The contestants have been
chosen and have begun to prepare
for the event. Last year we were
honored by the splendid work OF
Walter Poole. This year who is the
one to bring US like honor?
Christmas time is here. The spirit
of Christmas, that spirit which re-
minds us Of the other fellow and
helps us forget ourselves is the guild
ing spirit for us these days. How
fitting 1t is that as an expression of
that Idea we think of the unfortunate
people and serve them even in the
meager way Of selling Red Cross
seal stamps. Fellow classmate, have
you done what you could to help the
other fellow and bring cheer into the
world? The following is a report
up to date Of the sale of Red Cross
seals in our schools: First ward, $780,
$131.0S; Fourth ward, s5S15; high
school, s61.90.
The Christmas spirit has possessed
our schools and next Thursday after
noon practically every room will have
some special exercises. Here are
some of the programs and 1t is hoped
that the parents will make a special
effort to go to hear them. Besides
the entertainment work there will be
some of the children's work on ex-
going to see what he is doing.
