Oakland High School News

The operetta, THE Love Pirates of
Hawaii" under the able direction of
Miss Ruth Conley, assisted by Miss
Emily johnson, played to a full house
on Friday evening, December 18th.
All the members of the cast de-
serve praise for their clever inter
probation of their respective parts.
Miss Helen Jones, as Primer, the
old maid school marin, certainly
showed that she could play up to the
thrilling love making of the Pirate
hero, Graydon Lewis, a second Valen-
-tino, in truth. Graydon's acting
as well as his singing were remark
able for an amateur. Whenever
Helen and Graydon appeared on the
stage they called forth rousing ap-
plause from the audience. Helen in
her vocal numbers proved that she
has great possibilities as a future
prima donna.
The difficult role of leading lady
was portrayed by Gladys Gender. She
with her partner, Walton King,
stirred the hearts of all present by
their unique adventure of love.
James Wilson gave the audience
happy surprise when he sang in
rich baritone voice several beautiful
vocal selections James, with John
and James Wolf, Ralph Blake and

We are to remember that this is
not private institution, but a COM
munity troop belonging to Oakland
as its finest attempt of civic pride, so
that we are not embarrassed in ask
ing, as it is our right, and your priv
ilege to respond. In making your
donation along the lines indicated call
up the Scoutmaster at the home of
Mr.. E. l. West and the articles will
be called for by the Scouts, or any
information cheerfully given.
At this holiday season when We are
thinking of others more than our
selves, or should be, it is not too
much to expect that our very modest
needs shall be remembered and the
response be immediate.

Oakland Boy Scouts.

The Oakland Troop of Bow Scouts
has now passed the initial stage and
is about ready to launch out into the
real work of scouting.
One of the members of the troop,
writing this article for publication.
says:
We are fortunate in having the
backing of all public spirited citizens
of the town. The Troop Committee
who are responsible for the welfare
of the troop consists of County Su-
perintendent F. E. Rathbun and May
or L. M. Fraley; also Donald R. Sim
cell, associate editor of The Repub-
llcan. The examiners so far selected
are DR.. j. D. Darby and DR.. N. L.
Broadwater as examiners of first aid,
and DR.. W. W. Grant as instructor of
the care of the teeth. McGreggor Da-
wilson will be the examiner of signal
ing and Mr.. G. j. Altstetter the in
structor in map making. These with
other examiners will constitute the
board known as the Court of Review,
before whom the boys must pass the
various requirements of scouting.
The officers of the troop are Scout
master A. j. Torrey; assistant scout
master, Ned Tower; troop scribe, Jas.
Lee; acting senior patrol leader, Fran
els Lonergan.
The following boys have passed
their tests as Tenderfeet: Mitchell
Franklin, P. L., McClelland Dixon,
assistant P. L., Robert Stempie, Ken
meth Stahl, James Lee, James Nor
dick, Richard Davis, Bernard Con
der, Franklin Wolfe, P. L., Edwin
Hamill, assistant P. L., Robert Stan
ton, William Buzzard, Thomas Con-
der, Richard Stemple, George Altstet-
ter, Lewis Lawton, Francis Lonegran,
acting senior P. L., Dwight Bur-
roughs, Walter Hoye, Douglas Hell
big, Carl McIntire and Ernest Town
shend, P. L.
With this fine showing of represen-
tative boys with more to come, it is
not strange that the troop will need
a scout room in which to meet. With
the support and cooperation of the
troop committee, the scoutmaster has
secured the large room now vacant,
located in building near the Court
House and Office of the General Con-
struction Corporation for their use.
This room when put in repair will
serve as a meeting place and instruc-
ton room and also a suitable place in
which to entertain their the parents
and friends of the boys from time to
time. We are now going to launch
out with an appeal to which every
citizen, whether they have boy or
not, is asked to respond. First, won't
some store donate US a few rolls of
wall paper for the walls. The boys
will apply it. Then we need about
three gallons of paint for the wood
work and floor; a used gas stove big
enough to heat room; furniture,
such as plain chairs and two or three
large strong tables and a used fiat
top Office desk. We also desire to offer
the privilege of presenting the troop
with a United States flag and a troop
flag and troop committee flag. These
should be presented at once by some
civic organization or lodge or group
of public-spirited citizens. The cost OF

Edward Sebold, without q doubt, put
the pep" into the chorus of Pirates.
Special mention should be made of
Margaret Friend, the Hawaiian maid
en-, whose sweet true voice was high
ly praised by the music critics of the
audience.
Mary Ours and Mile Brown rend-
cred a delightful duet. Both girls,
by their grace and poise, won many
favorable comments. The Hawaiian
maidens, in their dreamy, southern
beauty, were decided contrast to the
snappy and care-free pirate despera-
does of the Northern seas.

performance, in any way, merit
praise for their efforts which were
crowned with success. About one
hundred and fifty dollars was cleared.
The money will be used in purchasing
a victrola, together with a series of
Victor records in appreciation of
music, and charts for the music de-
partment. The balance will be used
for other school purposes.
On Monday, December 18th, the
senior French class gave an interest
ing demonstration lesson to the fac
ulty of the Oakland High School.
Miss Virginia Casteel was in charge
of the class.
The freshman girls of the Domes-
tic Science Department entertained
the freshman boys at a pretty Christ
mas party on Tuesday, December 9Th.
The boys had a wonderful time and
gave rising vote of thanks to the
freshman girls and to Mrs. Bur-
roughs in appreciation.

Oakland was pretty well crowded
yesterday by people from Grantsville,
Jennings, Bittinger, the North Glade
section and other communities who
came here as witnesses or onlookers
at court when it was expected that
the appealed road cases in which
large number of the citizens of the
county are deeply interested, were
to be taken up and disposed of by
the Court. None of them, however,
were called for trial on account of
the fact that the Court was engaged
until late in the evening hearing a
number of criminal cases. This part
of the courts work will be completed
today, however, and then the road
matters will be considered.

l dreamed of countless thousands
OF gifts so rich and rare
And | marveled that so many
Could not reach everywhere.
And | gazed upon a wondrous throng
Of mortals who had come
To see these gifts distributed
That couldn't reach everyone.
And as the gifts were given
To the many who stood near
l saw their happy, eager smiles
And saw them disappear.
| turned to those who yet remained
With heavy, aching heart
Wishing for some gift to give them
Ere | saw them, too, depart.
AS l looked at them with pity,
Twas then my wonder grew,
For the happiest of all the crowd
Were those remaining few.
And l looked into the distance,
Following where | saw them lead,
Those happy, happy mortals
Whom l thought were sore in need.
Then | saw a star so dazzling
Shining DER a bed of hay
And the crowd then bowed and wor-
shipped
Where the infant Jesus lay.
They had seen their clearer visions,
Not from mountain tops of cheer,
But from valleys of depression
That many call despair.
They had learned that revenge is
never sweet,
In forgiveness to delight;
Knowing happiness follows goodness,
Sure as day comes after night.
They had given sweetest service
Not to millions who might pay,
But to the hungry-hearted
Starved for love on Christmas Day.
And in their hearts thanksgiving
reigned
For the wondrous gift of love
Reaching earth's remotest corner
Spreading on to heaven above.

GIVE THEM HEALTH.

we are told That three wise men
followed the Star and journeyed to
Bethlehem that first Christmas night,
carrying gorgeous gifts-gold, frank
incense and myrrh.
And so the beautiful custom of
Christmas gift-giving began. But as
time went on many people made
drudgery of this lovely practice.
Making up Christmas lists became al
most as perfunctory as making up
laundry lists. Tom, Dick and Harry
received the usual neckties, hand
kerchiefs and socks. Betty was put
on Mary's list and Mary on Betty's,
because both hesitated to break a So
cial custom.
Would it not be a sensible thing
this Christmas to give more as our
hearts may prompt?
Twenty-one years ago on Christ
mas Eve, young man stood at his
work in postoffice in PARKWAY Den
mark. Thousands of Christmas let
tiers were pouring through his hands.
And as he worked he thought how
wonderful it would be if all the hap
Ply people who were sending glad
Yuletide messages would add a spec
ial Christmas stamp to their letters
and cards. That extra money would
build a hospital in his town for the
children sick with tuberculosis!
The young man took his big idea
to the King and Queen of Denmark.
He was enthusiastically greeted. The
first Christmas seals appeared in Den
mark in 1904-and the little children
got their hospital.
From this simple beginning grew
the widespread custom of selling
Christmas seals to fight the Great
White Plague.
tuberculosis can he cured-can be
prevented and eventually wiped from
the face Of the earth. But the great
battle against it cannot be left solely
to those who support our welfare in
situations.
Vast amounts of money are needed
to bring back to health .thosewho have
been stricken with this most cruel
OF all diseases. Money for open air
camps out in the woods or on SUNNY
mountain slopes-money for long,
restful vacations free from worry
money for proper food and care. Still
more money is needed for the great
work of prevention. And this money
will be raised through the sale of the
little Christmas seals.
Plaintive voices the calling to YOU
for help. Will you help them? Let's
all get together to help rid the world
of this dread disease that shows no
mercy for rich or poor.
Buy Christmas seals as you never
bought before. Buy till it makes you
happy. Place a voluntary "health
tax" on all your cheerful Yuletide let
tiers and thus brighten your gift pack
ages with these gay little symbols of
hope. The Christmas candles in your
heart will burn more brightly because
you have helped to smooth away
some of the troubles of the world.

Public Health Clinics.

The first of the series of tonsil
and eye clinics, which are to be
held in Villas county this month,
was opened at Phelps on Monday
morning, under the direction Of
Miss Ann Christman, Villas coun-
TVS nurse.
DIR. Doty, an eye and throat spec
ialst, arrived Sunday from Gary,
Indiana, and will perform the
tonsil and adenoid operations and
fit glasses. The first clinic is be-
ing held at the high school at
Phelps. Several operations were
performed Monday morning, and
the clinic will continue to be held
there until all those desiring at
tention have been treated. AS
soon as the work at Phelps has
been completed, the clinic will be
held in Eagle River; after that at
Winchester, Vinegar, Sayner, and
Arbor Vitae. School buildings in
the various places will be fitted up
as temporary hospitals, where the
work will be done by DIR. Doty, as
sisted by local physicians. The
children will be cared for at the
school buildings by competent
nurses until they are ready to re-
turn home.
These clinics were arranged by
the county nurse especially for
the correction Of defects of school
children, but adults and children
of pre-school age may also receive
treatment, if desired. A minimum
charge, to cover actual expenses,
will be made for each operation
and for glasses fitted. In some
cases, where there are a number of
children in the family in need of
medical attention, and where the
parents are too poor to afford the
necessary expense, loans may be
secured from the Villas County
Health Fund, to cover the cost of
the work done at the clinic; these
loans are made from the fund af-
ter investigation of the case by
the county nurse and by the Off
GERS of the Health Fund Organiza-
ton.
Applications for appointments
at the Clinic may be made to Miss
Christman.
