Cones and Acorns
Make Pretty Gifts
b
Prize Contribution
By Mary jane Arnold, II
Domasevs Elementary School

Did you ever go into the woods
and gather acorns and pine cones
to paint for Christmas decora-
tions?
Our All Club did last year. We
found some tiny little pine cones
and sycamore balls. We found
big acorns and clusters Of tiny
acorns.
AS a club project. we made
gifts from them for our mothers.
I painted my tiniest cones and
little acorn cups silver. I en-
ameled the acorns red and glued
them to their cups. With fine
wire fastened them to snvered
twigs, then wired this to small
evergreen sprig which splashed
with silver.
A bow of silver and red ribbon
any tiny bell finished the cor
sage.
Mother said this was her pref
tiest Christmas gift. This cor
sage is still pretty.
Two weeks ago I put a new
green sprig on it and entered it
in a flower show as winter
corsage. I won second prize on 1t.
I am proud of my red prize ribbon.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 26.--
An alert Tennessee football team
took advantage of the breaks to
come from behind and beat Van
derbilt, 26 to 20, today In a wild
scoring battle.
The bitterly fought game al
most got out Of hand and eNded
in a virtual free-for-all deep in
Vanderbilt territory. Both play
ers and coaches from the Vandy
bench charged the officials at
the final gun.
The keyed-up Commodores
clearly outfought Tennessee and
ground out 262 yards rushing to
Tennessee's 81, but fumbles, in
tercepted passes and penalties
cost them dearly.
Two Quick Breaks.
The Vols turned two quick
breaks in the first period into
touchdoWns and added another in
the third stanza to take a 1910
lead. But Vaidy fought back for
three rapid-fired touchdowns in
the second period with a dazzling
running and passing attack to
take a 20-19 lead at the half.
Tennessee got another break
in the third quarter when
Safety Man Lee Nalley fumbled
and Guard Charles Baker recov-

Girl Gets License,
But Dad Drives
The Car Home
Prize Contribution
By Joan Murphy, Is
Immoeuloto Seminary

Since the invention of the auto
mobile, learning to drive the con-
traption certainly has become an
art. My first idea of how to drive
an automobile was very simple.
All one had to do was to keep
ones hands on the steering wheel.
Since then I have learned differ
emily. I thought I would have my
license on my 18th birthday
I was very mistaken.
First I had to study the rules,
then take the written exam. eye
test and present my birth certi-
flcate. I didn't know about the
latter. so I had to make a second
trip. After I completed the
above, it took me one month to
learn how to drive, which was
quite a blow to my inflated ego
I had to have my learner permit
renewed. I spent the next month
parking and perfecting my tech
nique.
Then the fateful day arrived. !
reported at the bureau with my
father at an hour I thought was
too early, but I guess it wasn't,
because there were people wait
ing ahead of me and the build
ing hadn't even opened.
I never mind doing thing. Its
just the waiting and thinking
about it that gets me excited and
this was no exception. Finally we
started on the road test. Park
ing was first. Although I was
petrifled, that hurdle was passed,
and finally one by one all the
steps in the test were completed.
I never felt such a load of my
shoulders in all my life. With
the new license in my purse. I
felt pretty proud Of myself. My
father must have sensed I was
feeling pretty cocky. because
guess who drove home? That's
right, he did.

Autumn Caress
Prize Contribution
By Helen Van Doren, II

Roosevelt High School
I felt the hand Of autumn press
my cheek
And I glanced up
To see her racing past on golden
feet
To beckon on the SHOWS.
I shifted the air about me, warm
and sweet,
And knew that bonfires blazed
And leapt into the glowing sky
To celebrate her coming.
The breeze caressed me with
gentle hands
And I knew her Joy =.
For gold had come, and red, and
brown,
To chase away my summer
thoughts.
I felt the hand of autumn press
my cheek
And I glanced up
To meet the glory of the summers
end,
To beckon to her beauty.

some fast company tomorrow
night in Leo LeBrun. one Of Can
ada's top featherweights, in the
feature eight-rounder Of the Tur-

fact that he thinks he can take
care of Jimmy Cooper, Washing

mite will get a chance to show
how he stacks up.

lust Between
Yourselves
BY Philip H. Love

Santa Claus hasn't always beenI
the chubby fellow in fur
trimmed red suit that he is to-
day. Once he was tall and thin
and wore the robes of bishop.
That was back in the 4th CEN
tury, when he was Bishop OF
Myra, city in Asia Minor. Even
then. however, he was known as.
the "children's friend" His name
was Nicholas.
In the 1900 years that have
passed since st. Nicholas started
bringing gifts to boys and girls
he has been known by many
names-"Jolly Old st. Nicholas"
in some countries, Father Christ
mas" "Mr. Whiskers" and "Kriss
Kringle" in others. His name in
the United States is corruption
of the Dutch San Nicolaas.
The time of gift-bearing at first
was st. Nicholas feast day. De-
cember 6. Gradually, however,
the practice became part of the
celebration of Christmas.
During the Middle Ages it was
a custom in many places to OBJ
serve st. Nicholas Day by electing
a boy to act as bishop until the
feast of the Holy Innocents, De-
cember 28. Wearing a bishops
robes and mitre, and carrying a
crozier, the boy went about bless
ing" every one he met. Then he
and his attendants - other lads
dressed as priests-took possession
Of the nearest cathedral or parish
church and performed all the
ceremonies and Offices except
mass.
The observance was forbidden
by the Council Of Basle in 1881,
but Was too popular to be given
up without a struggle. In Eng
land it was banned by Henry VIII
in 1542. revived by Mary 10 years
later and finally abolished by
Elizabeth. It survived in Ger
many, however, until 1899.
Until 1922 St. Nicholas re-
manned tall and thin, although he
didn't always dress as a bishop
and apparently was undecided
about the kind Of beard he pre-
ferred. At various times, he wore
it long. short, full and straggly.
and trimmed in a score of diff
ferent ways.
Then Clement Moore discovered
that st. Nick had changed-that
he'd become fat and rosy checked,
with merry dimples and twinkling
eyes. "a right jolly old elf" He
described the gift-bearer new
look" In the poem, "A Visit From
st. Nicholas" famous today as
THE Night Before Christmas"
\ Il 4
Artists, for some reason, were
slow to accept Mr.. Moore's de-
'scriptjon. It was not until the
1860s that Thomas Mast, a IA
nous cartoonist Of the period,
began to draw Santa as fat and
jolly, according to Miss jeanette
Lee, supervisor Of creative art for
the Hallmark Greeting Card Co.,
who has done extensive research
on the subject. And it wasn't
until the early 1900s that the ma
jority of other artists followed his
example.
It was Mast. too. incidentally.
that first pictured Santa's North
Pole workshop, where he makes
toys. keeps the records of good
and bad children, and receives
their letters. He also was the first
to draw the jolly old fellow In a
fur trimmed red coat.
In this enlightened age, when
every one knoUs what Santa looks
like, it's hard to understand why
there ever should have been any
misunderstanding or disagreement
about it.
