Mr.. Hartman said he had not

Whut's Doing in the
 SCHOOLS
BY RUTH BTNKLEY

Tonight's the big night of the Christmas program. We're all caught in the last-minute rush of getting ready for Christmas, with million and one things yet to do. But take time out to remember Christmas programs from our own school days. Weeks of practicing the same thing over and over again until you were thoroughly sick and tired of the whole thing. Practicing on a bare stage without the Christ mas atmosphere to keep up the morale. Wanting to do well so Nom and Dad would be proud Of you. but afraid of making some embar- sassing biunder. Wondering if, in- dividually or as a group, you'd ever be good enough to get out there and perform.
 Then when the big night arrived and the traditional Tree stood tall and proud. and the hall began to fill with people from the world outside of classsooms. you were ex- cited and tense but confident the long hours of practice would see you through to a gaod perform ance.
 A good audience means as much 70 the young performers tonight as it did to us in our school days. So turn out and let them know we ap- preciate their efforts and the ef- forts of their instructor. Mir. Berg.
 The number Of absences from classrooms is on the increase, due mostly to colds. Two of the class rooms are being sprayed with a cold preventative to see if the per- centage of colds can be lowered by that method.
 Seven of the rooms in the school
 
 building are still waiting for ade- auate lighting, while the students work in light that falls way down in the light meter test. Working light should measure S5 foot can dies, but the light in those rooms measures only nine. The city coun- ell has been asked for the neces- sary fixtures to provide proper light, but so far the request has produced nothing definite.
