Mr.. Shilling's Present To M. & nj.
Not alone can we boast of receiv-
ing beautiful gifts for Christmas;
not alone can we say that Santa Claus
visited us, for the first time he Wis
tied M. & M This Santa Claus took
the form of our highly respected and
rpauph InVnd 10 roifnr Chill
ing, who presented most beautiful
piano bench at chapel last week. It's
beauty plainly showed the work of
ton of the picture of M. & NJ was
inlaid in the top, together with two
large MS and other decorations.
The building and decorations were
carved out with pen-knife, and
were inlaid without even the aid of
rule. The main part of the building
was of black walnut; the windows of
ebony were outlined with white
pine, while the MS and other decor
ations were of ivory.
To make this wonderful gift took
much of Mr.. Shilling's time and
energy, but as he expressed it, che
did it because he loved M. &c M. and
u.s."
Since more of us have found that
he is really interested in us as well
as our school building, we should
strive all the harder to make him
proud of us. Let us help him in his
work by keeping our building as
clean as possible. Let us show him
how the students of NJ C M. appre-
ciate his gift.

NJ. & Nj. Defeated Lowell
In fast and interesting game M.
& VI defeated Lowell, 31-8. Both
teams displayed splendid sports
mans hip and fought hard, but M. &
M S superior pass work enabled
them TO win. Jones, Newsome, and
Capt. Hooper scored for NJ. & NJ
Lewis played his usual brilliant de-
fensife game. Bingham playing his
first game for NJ & NJ showed up
well. Northrup, who entered the
fray late, did not have a chance to
strut his stuff. M. & M. also had a
wealth of reserve strength including
Henderson, Humphrey and Davis.
These boys will be given a try-out
next week The surprising feature
of the game was that each NJ. & M
player preferred to pass the ball
rather than attempt the shot him
self. That is the attitude that
makes championship teams.
Coach Ballenger is to be COM
mended for the fine showing of his
team.
"Big Red" the Lowell center,
