Stepleton, principal.
We're taking a new look at the
curriculum with an eye TO adapting
il to our own particular needs in this
community" the principal said. Thus
far we have found that ou PHILOSOPHY
is still good and our general objec-
tives right. but we lack certain ac-
tivities, she said.
Miss Stepleton explained that the
teachers are generally agreed that
arithmetic as offered in the school is
pretty good" Some activities should
be added.
In the matter of language arts, the
teachers are not as happy with their
research findings. There is a question
of what to do with specially gifted
children. In the social and physical
sciences and health, it has been de-
termined to make better use of re-
source material and more frequently

There are lot Of things about
Christmas that everybody sees.
The colored lights. The Christ
mas trees. The store decorations.
The counters filed with dazzling
gifts. Homes decorated. streets
decorated.
Everybody sees Christmas

Santas. There are carol singers,
mistletoe. holly and evergreen
wreaths. We see hurrying crowds
of shoppers, enlarged toy depart
ments in stores, overloaded mail
trucks, express packages piled
high beside the trains.
We see fires in the hearth,
stockings hung with care, tables
laden with good things to eat. And
they are all part of Christmas.
But all of these things are often
too easy for us to see. Perhaps
this year we should look extra
hard for the spirit of Christ
mas" Let's look for the great
amount of good in all people; it
shines best at Christmas time.
Let's look at the faces of little
children for the real happiness Of
Christmas. Let's look out for the
needs of less fortunate people, the
shut-ins, the lonely, the unfor-
tzinate.
And this year, let's try once
again To see the real meaning of
Cristmas-its religious signifi-
canoe. Its message of peace and
hope for the world. Let's really
see Christmas this year.
