GRADE NEWS II

Christmas is coming. Hooray! Hooray" is the dominant thought of the grade school these days. The Community Christmas oper- etta is progressing rapidly, with practices and the making of cos tunes having an important place in the daily schedule.
 The rooms seem to be vieing with one another to produce the most effective Christmas decora- tions. The first and second grad CTS out Christmas Eve scenes from colonsd paper-a fireplace with leaping flames, stockings hanging from the mantel, and a cat dozing before the fire. They also made Christmas cards to take home.
 The second and third graders original Christmas designs are very artistic. Made with crayons on three foot squares of paper, some of the designs, which were made without any suggestions

The December meeting of the high school student body took place Friday afternoon. The be- ginning of the meeting was rude ly interrupted by the clamourous ringing of the fire buzzer, and all the students rushed to their posts at the fire. extinguishers or out of the building. The fire drill was over in a few minutes, how ever, and the meeting proceeded tranquilly. Plans were made for the annual Christmas party, at which refreshments are served and gifts exchanged. The idea of giving Christmas program for parents and friends of the stud ents met with approval, and an evening of excellent entertain ment is planned. The momentous business of drawing names for the Christmas party gifts took up some time. A price limit of 50 cents was set on these gifts, whi oh are usually of a connie nature and add greatly to the hilarity of the party. Actions taken by the Student Council at their recent meeting were discussed and ap- proved.

An inquiry has been received from the Seward High School as to the interest in formation of rife clubs to compete in postal matches. A meeting was called of the high school boys, and were enthusiastic about the prospect. The major difficulty is the prob lem of securing a rife range. Several business men have been approached, and it is hoped that an inside range may be secured, or a closed shooting box for an outdoor range.

,Rk PAP,

Tony Lazzeri finds himself in a strange spot. Instead of listening to the customary wall of experts who had taken it upon themselves each winter to count Tony out of the big league picture, the veteran second baseman of the world cham pion Yankees is blushing after the verbal bouquets tossed in his di- rection at the annual dinner of New York baseball writers. Tony was selected by that group as the player of the year." and present. ed plaque to prove it.
 All this leaves Lazzeri puzzled. It gave him considerable satisfac- tion in the past to confound the experts who insisted on relegating him to the boneyard. But now that they have singled him out for spe- cial honors, what is he going to do? Flop, to prove them wrong again? It puts Lazzeri in spot.
 Tanks Agreed
 The Yankees themselves figured that Tony's days as a big league player were numbered. They took precautions to guard against the day when Tony would no longer be able to play as a regular. They bought youngsters like Jack Saltz- gaver and Don Heffner. They even started Saltzgaver at second one season. It wasn't long before Tony was back.
 When Lazzeri seemed slipping a few seasons ago they moved him to third where he would have less ter ritory to guard. He did all right, too. Another time he played short stop. He even filled in at first base for Lou Gehrig-when Gehrig was sick and played only part of an in ming to maintain his iron-man mark. Tony filled in as left fielder more than once.
 Big Moments
 He has had better seasons than 1886 both at the plate and in the field. But he had his moments last season. There was that day in Phil adelphia when he hit three home runs, two with the bases loaded, and batted in II runs. In the World Series he poked out a homer with three men on the bags. All told, Tony finished the season with three new and one tied major league rec ords, one broken American league standard and one new and two tied World Series marks.
 Through his years of service with the Yankees there has been one outstanding characteristic of his work That's his spirit. No rookie ever worked harder to get in shape. He never lets up. He is always try ing. That's why he is one of the most dangerous batters in the clutch. Others may boast better av- erages but when it comes to a show down. Tony yields to none.
