Make Christmas Burden,
Be Unhappy Rest of Year

TT is so customary nowadays to
! hear disparagement Of Christmas
as a season Of vanity. selfish display,
greed and covetousness that we like
to point out the other side. Some Of
our cynics declare that Christmas
gifts are themselves dictated by self.
interest-that they are meanly of.
fered in the hope Of return-with
interest-or are an exhibition of van
ity. And yet, whe would Care to say
this Of mother. who deprives her
self to give happiness to her chill
dren, or Of the girl who willingly fore
goes some little vanity for the pleas
ure Of her parents? People who make
Christmas burden and a tax show
the same attitude throughout the year
their own false standards of living
are to blame, and not this holy fes.

Third Year News

The third year class is now
studying as an English project
the development OF oral compo-
sitions. Until recent years
orals were not encouraged in
schools for the apparent reason
that their value was not recog-
nized.
We are trying to give good,
effective erals. These aid in
carrying on conversations that
are never dull and boring to
the listeners. There may come
a time in our later life that we
may be called upon to make a
speech. Through this practice
in the early years of our life we
could respond and give an in
telligent ADDRESS. having the
abil1Iy to speak before an audi
ence gives you more confluence
in our selves, and if we are the
least bit self-consclous we Will
gradually recover ease and
polse.
In developing the orals our
class has maze use of the stage
in the auditorium. This pro-
vides the chance to improve our
pastures, our voice and conf
dence in ourselves.
At this time our class is Gag
gerly looking forward to our
class rings, which are expected
to be received before Christ
mas. This year there has been
a choice OF bright or dull gold,
serling silver rings, or the class
pins. The price of the rings
has been reuuced. The major
ity of the class have mace, as
their choice, the rings.
