preparations for a Christmas pro-
gram. Interest In the Olympic

to find another subject on which
nations are united. This was found
in the various national celebrations

eusy each room is studying the
nation of its choice, dramatizing
and wording its part of the en-
semble which is to be the Christ
mas program. The music teachers
are busy teaching authentic carols
of all the countries chosen. In
art the boys and girls are busy
with crayolas, paper and scissors
to decorate as the other boys and

countries are not SO different, at
least in the matter of happy child
rem at Christmas time.
