 High spot of the entire program however, was a skit entitled the "Su- preme Sacrifice" which was on the order of pantomine play. Anna belle Edwards read the story and Freshmen and Sophomore students acted the parts which were take offs on various movie thrillers. Both plays were directed by Miss Warren and those taking part were from her Nos l and English classes.
 Community singing of Christmas songs concluded the program.
 A business session opened the meeting during which the main topic of discussion were the proposed gym nasium, a school operetta and the school library.

SEAL
 SALE FOR FIRST
 WEEK IS LARGE
Receipts Show Increase Over Same Period Last
 Year, Says J. Reck

Receipts for the first week of the 1889 Christmas Seal Campaign show ed a small increase over the same period of last year, according to John Reck, chairman of the Juneau Committee of the Alaska Tubercu- losis Association
 "This annual Christmas seal sale, " MT. Reck pointed out, "is unique because it gives everyone, regard less of his means, an opportunity to help. The millionaire can't buy any higher priced seals than the child with one penny. Every seal is priced at one cent, and no more.
 For six years this opportunity has been offered annually to the people of Juneau to build up com mon defense against tuberculosis. It is a matter of considerable local pride that each annual sale has shown an increase over previous sales. This omes of a keen ap- preciation of the importance of the work being carried on.
 As the campaign continues, even heightened interest is expected, for generosity is one of our great com munity assets"

ROMANTIC HIT
 T0M0 RR0 W FOR CAPITOL
Carol Lombard and James Stewart Are Co., starred in
 Made for Eath Other

A new Carole Lombard will appear on the screen of the Capitol Thea tre tonight when David Selznick's Made For Each. Other" begins its engagement there. Miss Lombard has forsaken the comedy technique that has made her famous to give a heart-rending dramatic perform ance in this comedy drama of young married life. and with James Stew art as co-star makes this picture an occasion that is not to be missed by the discriminating film-goer.
 The story, adapted by Jo Swerl- ling, tells of the trials and tribula- ticns that beset the married life of Johnny and Jane Mason, played by Carole Lombard and James Stewart. John is a promising junior member in New York law firm, but is ob- liged to struggle along on a meagre salary. His mother Oucile Watson) comes to live with them, and further complicates his life with Jane by her continual carping and com plaining.
 When, however a son is born to Jane and Johnny they forgot their troubles in their ecstatic happiness. Even this joy is destined not to last long. On New Years Eve the child comes down with pneumonia, and to save it's life a serum must be flown from Salt Lake City This thrilling race against death forms the climax of the picture and by the time the child recovers the diff ! ferences in the Mason household have been sufficiently ironed out to allow Jane and Johnny to start off on their long delayed honeymoon.
