ten. I'd rather have dog. But it's
going to be something alivel"
Chunky Andy Cobb downed his
6-year-old head, upped his fat legs,
and pitched over the side of his cot,
head over heels. He scrambled along
on all tours, caught the edge of the
comforter, and burrowed himself in
out of sight.
There was no one in the room to
hear the boast he had just tackled on
the end of his prayer. But Andy
knew that Santa Claus always had
his big ear down on the chimney
top on Christmas eve and heard
every word the smallest boy said.
Andy had told his father over
and over what he was planning on
having this Christmas He was plan
ming on having something alive. He
didn't want rocking horse. He
didn't want drum. He didn't
want anything he had to work. He
had to make a drum go. He had
to work rocking-horse. What he
wanted was something that worked
itself.
ANDY'S MOTHER was out in the
kitchen and she had her arms up
to the elbows in buildings and pies.
She was stringing cranberries in be-
tween piecrusts, and popcorn, too.
She was waiting till she was sure
Andy was asleep. She tiptoed in and
listened to his breathing at last. It
was deep and slow. Andy was away
in reindeer land all right. He was
safe asleep.
John was late. John had told her
what he was going to get for the boy.
1t was the puppy, jim Blaisdell had
| offered him two weeks ago, and he
had told Jim to keep it for him till
Christmas eve. John said it had to
be live present. For Andy had
talked of nothing else for the last
month. So Mrs. Cobb had the basket
for the puppy-dog to sleep in under
the tree and the red bow ready to
tie on the puppy's neck, in the morn
ing, before Andy woke up.
The door came open, slow. Too
slow, she remembered afterwards.
There stood her husband, and he was
the most woebegone-looking man
she had ever laid eyes on.
''What's the matter, John? What's
happened? - And where is the
puppy?"
martha, Jim Blaisden forgot and
gave that pup away week agol"
.Oh, John!"
THE MAN AND woman stood
there face to face. And between them
the whole wonderful Christmas they
had planned fell bit by bit to pieces

Visual Education

A Bell & Howell, Is nm
sound protector was given to
the School by the Graduating
Class of 1949. Through this
medium, visual education will
become an integral factor in
our teaching methods. Apart
from the pleasurable contribu-
tions, this machine can also be
used to bring some profits to
the School. A long felt need
has finally been realized and
with the passage of time the
influence Of visual education
will be felt and recognized, not
only in the School but in the
Community. The student body
has already benefited from
United Nations and Health
films.

The Senior Class, under the
direction of Mrs. Eirene Nc
Donald, sponsored the 1949
Popularity Contest for Miss
c. H. S., an annual event in
the social life Of the School for
the past 8 years. The coveted
honor is highly contested and
enters into the Community
life of the island. This event.
has been requested by ex-Gov-
ernor Hastie to be a perma-
nent function of our School
and all efforts will be made
toward making it one of the
"looked-for" social events of
st. Croix.
On December %, l949, the
Senior Class entertained the
Superintendent of Education,
the Assistant Superintendent
of Education and the Faculty
TAT Luncheon.
The response to the annual
calls for both Junior Red
Cross and March of Dimes has
been gratifying. The Junior
Red Cross Drive conducted by
the Junior Red Cross Council,
under the sponsorship of Mrs.
Elena Christian netted $34.45.
Each class received its 1907
Pai-d-up Certificate, thereby
placing the School on the
Honor Roll. Contributions to-
ward the 1850 March Of Dimes
amounted to $25.21.
AT C~hristmastide, students
made donations of food items
amounting to $4,000 to the Wei
fare Department for distribu-
ton among the most needy of
the Community. It is an op-
portunity whereby students
are taught the art Of giving to
those less fortunate than them
selves.

Joseph, who has made this con
tribution for many years.
Mrs. Constance Cameron
Miller, a writer of note, has
also contributed valuable
books to our Library.
Mr.. Victor Chilean donated
many valuable magazines and
the current issues of Time,

fetal.
Two parental meetings were
held with parents of students
for Grades TIA, 7-B and 8-B;
one at the Christiansted High
School and another at Slob

unable to attend the town meet
ing. At these meetings, the
parents were addressed by
Homeroom Teachers, Mrs.

Teacher Training
Mrs. Elena L. Christian,

Senior students interested in

These trained students COM
prise the nucleus from which
the Department of Education
selects its beginning Teachers.
Both Elementary Methods and
Elementary Psychology along
with essential qualifications as
Teachers are stressed. Practice
teaching is also provided to as
sure correct application of
theories. We're it not for this
contribution, local needs could
not be 50 readily taken care of
and students, who in the past
have taken this course, have
proved its value upon employ

POLITICS.:
Truman Tour

President Truman isn't giving
ms rivals a chance to cut down the
democratic majorities in both
houses, most observers believed
as he planned what he called a
Nnonpoliticar' swing through the
West.
The "nonpoliticaF" tag that has
been hung on the Truman tour has
no one fooled. It is, no doubt, the
o1ticlal opening of this years po-
htlcal campaign and will have a
great bearing on the 1852 p~residen-
tial election.
Observers are inclined to agree
that five key detectives are in the
back of the Democratic strategy:
l.. In 1948 the Democrats swept
to unexpected victory because OF
Humans popularity. They don't
want that popularity slowed down.
2. Visit and talk to the mid
Western farmers and thus extend
the party's hold upon them.
3. Find candidates who, If elect
ed, will back the Truman admin
istration. This is felt necessary to
Offset the revolving Southerners.
4. Rescue and revenge enter into
the tour in that an attempt will be
made to save some party faithfuls
and to punish a few enemies.
5. To bring about some disci-
pine within the party itself in an
effort to put on a united front.

PALESTINE:
Arubs Unite

Where there had once been strife
among the Arabs Of Palestine, now
there is unity with the announce
ment that Arab Palestine and
Trans-Jordan have united into a
single kingdom.
The unity creates the Kingdom
Of Hashemite Jordan at whose
head reigns King Abdullah Ibn Ell
Hussein on a basis Of constitutional
representative government, the an
nouncement stated.
The ~unification notice was sent
to the Arab states and was re-
ceived in Israel without too much
comment since Israel had an arm
istice agreement with the new
kingdom.
However, Israel was not pre-
pared to accept the annexation.
Observers agreed that the move
might prejudice future talks when
all points concerning the ultimate
peace are discussed.

GREAT WRITINGS:
Bible Not Included

Robert M. Hutchins of the Uni
versity of Chicago announced the
collection of the greatest writing Of
Western civilization in a 54-voleme,
ST. ESQ, 900 work, but the Bible was
not included.
At first readers were shocked
that the greatest work of literature
in the history of man was not in
Guided, but were quickly relieved
by Hutchins' reason.
The Bible, he explained, was not
included because it already is uni
versa1ly available and almost uni
versally owned.
The collection includes 443 works
by IA authors and was said to in
clude the works acclaimed ''indis-
pensable to the liberal education
of a free man in the Goth Century"
The first limited printing of 1000
sets had been scheduled for that
many patrons at $500 each.

Hunting Becoming

thing pertaining to hunting
sportsmen'S faces are usually
seen to display a gloomy atti-
Guoe. But, such is not the case
When the word is used in a re-
cent release issued by the Mon
tana Fish and Game Depart
ment.
During the past ten years,
accidents attributed to hunting
expeditions have decreased to
the point where they are only
half of what they were in 1916,
the report states. Hunting ia
talltles per 100000 nimrods
dropped from ga to slightly
more than 8.
The release points out that
this Information was derived
from the results of a Semi-na-
t1onal survey, and does not par
tlcularly apply to the Montana
seasons over the decade Just
past. Montana'S hunting fatali-
ties have amounted to Just
about half of the lesser figure
quoted above, or is.
The number of hunting Ii
cenSeS being issued year after
year is on the upsWing, the re-
port goes on, and it would seem
that the hunters in the field
are becoming less and less
trigger happy" as time passes.
This should come as encourag-
ing news to veteran hunters
who went through the ga era.
