THIS N THAT
By Your Reporter

Christmas is near very near
and from all indications, Jackson is
making ready for a very Merry
Christmas.
Ushering in the yuletide season,
Christmas trees, parties and other
formes of entertainment have been
given at the public and private
schools for the children and at the
Foster general hospital for the men
in uniform-this last mentioned af-
fair was truly an enjoyable one,
both for the men and the guests
who attended. Three buses were
summonded by Mrs. z. E. Moman,
director of the soldier center, to
take the groups of young ladies to
the Red Cross building out at Fos-
ter general on Thursday evening,
December IA, these young ladies
were members of three organiza-
tons: The Victory Bellies of the
Soldier Center, The Chain of
Friendship Club, sponsored by Mrs.
c. Hall and the Girl Scout Troop
81, leader, Miss L. B. Walker. The
Scouts and Chain of Friendship
girls entertained and distributed
flowers-the Victory Bellies were
active in passing out gifts to the
men. Music TO rthe occasion was
furnished by the Foster General
Band and the holiday goodies were
served by the Red Cross canteen
workers. Gifts were furnished by
the Defense Council, Iota Phi Lam
bda Sorority, Victory Bellies and
Chain of Friendship Club.
Another very entertaining affair
of the yuletide season was the ban
quet given by the student council
of Lanier high school, Wednesday
evening, December IS. The occa-
sion being the 10th anniversary of
Prof. I. S. Sanders as principal of
the school. The affair, at once, beau
tifully arranged and high in enter
tainment value, was one of the most
impressive and enjoyable of its
kinds we have ever witnessed.
On entertaing the school auditor
ium, artistically decorated for the
affair, the guests, made up of tea
cheers and principals of the city
schools, representatives from Jack
son and Tougaloo colleges, the
press, and the business and pro-
LESSONS of the city, were register
ed by members of the council and
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1944-12-23

given a program that stated the
purpose of the banquet, named the
participants and gave the very de-
licious and attractively prepared
menu which was served buffet
style.
We think that nothing could have
attested more to the very fine and
constructive work that Prof Sand
ers has done and is doing, or to the
splendid progress the school is
making under his leadership, than
the love, sincerity, and deep res
pect interviewer in the efforts of
members of the student council to
do him honor on this occasion
and the glowing tributes paid him
by not only members of the IA
Guilty, and the students, but by
friend, in business, professional,
fraternal and religious fields, were
fitting. testimonies to the fact, that
unlike the prophet of old, there is
man who is WITH HONOR in
his own land" The gift of an easy
chair and Ottoman was, we think,
very appropriate. 1t is hoped that
Prof. Sanders will bring to Lanier,
ten, ney, twenty more years of
progress and achievement
On Sunday evening, music lovers
were very enjoyably entertained
whom a choir of so voices composed
of children from the Laboratory
school of Jackson college, presented
the annual candle-light Christmas
service in the college auditorium.
Beautiful songs, old and new were
heard and the entire Christmas SER
vice was conducted by these young
people = the fact that our son is
a member of this choir, makes us
very proud, altho our opinion of
his vocal accomplishments is not
very high. We think, however that
the school and the children, are in
deed fortunate to have the kind of
musical training they are receiv-
ing from Prof. Lovelace The mes
sage Sunday evening was delivered
by Rev. c. P. Payne, pastor of
Pratt Memorial church.
We were among the crowd who
attended the Trade Week Ball held
as a climax to the successful Ne
gro Trade Week, sponsored by the
Negro Chamber of Commerce. We
were proud to see Miss Jackson
College crowned Miss Chamber of
Commerce, altho to be truthful, we
were pulling for Miss Lanier, all of
the contestants are to be congratu-
