lust Between
Yourselves
BY Philip Fl. Love

Nearly 10 per cent OF all students
Of Woodrow Wilson High School
are working in their spare time, q
recent census revealed.
One of the most unusual Jobs, ac-
cording to report on the check
up published in the Wilson Beacon,
is held by Brenda Bennett. She Is
deyoting her out-of-School hours to
the making Of shell jewelry.
Harvey Whitten is working as a
library page, Clarisa Alvord in al
radio station and George Schliss for
an airline. Other Wilsonites, are
employed on farms and in Govern
ment agencies, stores, newspaper Of
fees, restaurants, theaters, filling
stations and private homes. All to-
gether 229 pupils are holding down
part-time jobs of one kind or
another.
Just as I had put the final period
to the above item Lawrence Stafford,
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
senior, dropped in to make sugges-
ton that struck me as having con-
siderable merit.
THE trouble is" said Lawrence,
that the kids in one high school
don't have enough contact with the
kids in other high schools. We're all
in the Washington area but there's
nothing to draw us as close together
as we ought to be-nothing to en-
able the students of one school to
keep in touch with the activities of
other schools.
I'D like to see some sort OF inter-
high organization "A group that
could. say, get out an all-high
newspaper, covering the activities
of all the schools in the Washington
area; sponsor all-high athletic
teams to compete with the best
teams from other cities; plan all
high plays, dances and other recre-
ational activities"
Lawrence isn't advocating the all
high plan to do himself any good,
he explained, because he is gradual
ing in February. tits just that I
think it's needed" he added.
1 don't know just how Lawrence
should 60 about accomplishing his
purpose, but it's q good one, In my
opinion, and hope he succeeds.
Junior Jottings-Christmas seals
were originated by post office clerk
in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1908.
News of Einar Hoelboells idea got to
King Christian, who sponsored issu-
ance of the first seals the following
year. They bore the likeness Of the
Queen and more than 000,OOO
copies were sold Before Mr.
Hoelboell died in 1927 the idea had
spread around the world-to Austria
Argentina, Brazil. Canada, French
Indo China, Finland. Sweden
France, Italy. England, India, Korea
and the United States. The last
country to adopt Christmas seals as
weapon against tuberculosis was
Mexico, in l943. Girls comprise
| one-third of the enrolment OF tht
printing class at Anacostla Hlgf
School and, according to the Pow
Wow, hold most of the speed records
in typesetting. D.. Members OF East
ern High Schools art classes have
designed 1000 covers for the Navy!
Christmas menus. Students OF thu
design classes folded the covers
which were turned over to the Junio
Red Gross for shipment overseas.
Original covers were designed b,
ITessie Koutsos, Elizabeth Ironsides
Ann Whitney, George Hamaty ant
George Sekas. Dick Dement,, Vim
cent De Silvia, George Fisher, Jerr
Griffin and Meredith Beattie did tn
printing from the artists hnoleun
blocks, under the direction Of Henr
Finn. Once again the Centra
High School Bulletin has earne'
first-class honors in the Nations
Scholastic Press Associations higl
