Social Notes

The French club had their So
ciaI meeting Wednesday night in
the high school auditorium, spon-
sored by Miss Pecar. Each mem
Der was to bring a joke which was
to be told in French but the funny
part of it was that whenever a
Joke was told Miss Pecar was the
only one who laughed. French
games were also a feature of the
evening. Later French refresh
ments were served and the meet
ing adjourned.
The soft little siging that has
been issuing every so often from
the music room during the past
few months, has increased in vol
ume until there is no question as
to what it is. What is it? The
Glee club. Why is it stronger? Be
cause it is growing, and as is ma
tural, when things grow they soon
have more power. So it is with
the Glee club, only it is lung pow
er in this instance.
The. Glee club is going to put on
an operetta this year, which, from
the general good lookstof the mem
bers. will at least be a beauty
show. and we are firm in our belief
that there will be some good music
and acting too. 1t has not been
fully decided yet what the oper-
eta will be, but we know Miss
Fisher will select a good one.

thew are not going to hang up
their stockings by the chimney,
but are going to use Martin Luth-
er's idea and have a Christmas
tree and Santa Claus.
A class meeting was held on
Tuesday deciding on our commit
tees. and also drawing names. Of
course there is always the trad
ing of names. which affords a
great deal of pleasure.
The presents are not supposed
to exceed 25c in value and be in
the form of toy. Some graders
think the seniors are becoming
childish but this is not the case,
but all we wish is some good fun.
What is Christmas without
candy? The seniors are going to
have plenty of candy, popcorn and
enjoyment. Levy and Lawrence
say "why not an entertainment"
SO all is well and an entertainment
is in view. Each class is expected
to contribute to this. This will be
given before the assembly and any
parent wishing to come and hear,
see and enjoy the talents of their
offspring are cordially invited to
do so, as an audience is always
welcome.

RIAL
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

What does Christmas mean to
us? Everyone has read the Christ
mas story wherein lies the signi-
ficance of this December holiday. ]
First, it is a time of peace and
kindness. In the crisp air of De-
cember, with sprigs of holly and
mistletoe everyone is happy. The
spirit of good cheer is in the air.
Most of all the spirit of giving
is present. People give presents
for the sake of good friendship.
Everyone is remembered at this
time of year. Those who are I'M
able to have some of the Christ
mas comforts are provided for by
helping friends. All are included
in the spread of good cheer and
happiness.
The quiet nights show the peace
full spirit which is broken by the
singing of Christmas carols for
the Joy and happiness of all man
kind. The spirit of Christmas is
best expressed by the time-worn,
but beautiful phrase which is ia
miliar to us all, "Peace on earth,
good will toward men,"

SPORTS

Thursday, December %, Kenne-
wick and the Benton City cagers
clash on the home floor at 1880.
The relative strength of the two
teams is unknown, but each team
is going out on the floor with the
aim in view of coming out winner.
The probable line up for this game
will be: Keolker, center; Scott and
Lincoln. guards; Boyer and Colean
forwards.
AS this is the first home game
of the season, Kennewick should
get behind the boys and make the
game go over big. Seats have been
put up in the gymnasium for the
accommodation of those seeing the
game. so there will be no necessity
of any one having to stand up.
