A pillow or cushion is bungle-
some object to wrap. Why not make
a snow man by wrapping in a sheet
of white crepe paper? Glue the top
and bottom edges together, and tie
a string about the bundle dividing
it into unequal parts. This makes
the head and body of the man.
Features and the buttons are made
with crayon, and the cooked hat is
folded from a square sheet of paper.
A stick of peppermint candy is
easily initiated in the wrapping OF
any parcel which may be rolled and
slipped into a mailing tube. Wrap
the tube first in white tissue paper,
twisting the ends. Wrap red ribbon
spirally around the parcel, tying
bows at the ends.
A nanny doll cleverly hides jar

The JOB OF filling in was not an

Finally, last spring, when suf-
ficient room for the field had been
covered work on the airport itself

service. With the possibility that
seaplanes may some day dock on
the field, a water area bordering
the field has been designated for
the future development as a sea-
plane terminal.
I visited the new airport and
found the greatest spectacle there
to be the terminal building.
Amazed by its vastness, I asked
a construction foreman just how
large the building was. He re-
piled that it was a great deal larger
than the Union Station and larger
than any present transportation
terminal building.
The new airport, which is
located just southeast Of High

Maybe you haven't been able to

To the END of each strip, stick a

Flat boxes or tissue-W wrapped

BY LUCINE SESSIONS, II,

Girls at Mckinley High School
have the chance to learn how to
become good marksmen through the
Girls Rife Club, which was started
several years ago when two guns
were borrowed from the Boys Rife
Club. Now the girls club has seven
guns of its own, after having re-
turned the borrowed ones.
The girls use 22-caliber rifles and
official National Rife Association
targets. They meet twice a week
at the Mckinley range and some
times go to the N. r. A. range.
After much practice match is
held at the end of the year between
the girls, the highest two scorers
receiving gold pins. The team, con-
sisting of seven girls who have the
highest average scores in the club.
holds yearly battle with the boys
novice team and usually is beaten.
Members Of the club can work for
medals and certificates offered by
the N. r. A. They can also enter
the individual matches sponsored
by the N r. A.
The three officers, captain, man
ager and assistant manager, are
chosen in the spring to serve the
following year. The captain is
chosen for her ability as marks
man, the two others by the popular
vote of the members of the club.
Once year the club has a picnic
at the farm of the faculty adviser
and obtains experience in outdoor
shooting. A luncheon is also held
in the spring at the home of one
of the officers.

II attribute my interest in books
to the stories my father read to

many girls are authors of published

Anacostia High School.
Crimson, sinking sunset casting COL
or on the ground,
People laughing, rushing on the
crowded evening streets,
Winter twilight's fingers clasp the
world in misty grey,
Frosty windows, lighted, outline
prickly holly wreaths;
Snowflakes rush their silent way TO
clothe bare, upstretched boughs.
Chill airs pure chalice holds the
peal of Christmas bells;
Children carol, leaving frozen mu-
sic in their wake
Pungent scent of evergreen per-
vades the festive homes.
Then, voices sink to murmurs, and
perfect silence reigns,
Vanished are the garish lights,
snow no longer falls;
Pure, cleaning, white. serene,
earth's meath sacred spell.
In the bright and high arched
sky. the heavenly host pro-
claim
Gods own wish to all mankind, on
earth, peace and goodwill.
