Christmas spirit comes to me on once a year, and when it comes, m heart experiences a feeling that akin to happiness and peace catch that spirit best when I sing the old carols and recall again the birth of our Savior. My mother told me that, when I was born on Christmas morning in far away Japan, some carolers came and sang "Silent Night, Holy Night" to me. A sacred feeling steals into rrty heart when I sing or hear these beautiful songs. It is during the Christmas week that I delight in going window shopping and in seeing rhe gaily decorated windows filled with love¬ly gifts. The Christmas spirit always fills my heart with kindness, and I long to play Santa Claus to everyone. Even though I cannot brighten everybody's heart with presents, I can give good will to all.—Lillian Kadoike. DICK SICK. For the past few days our student body president has been ill. We have even been told that he is in bed. Suppose we let him know that the student body missed him in as¬sembly last week! Also, his bright and smiling face was absent at our Thanksgiving dance. Dick, we hope you will be able to be with us again very soon! (Even though by the time this ar¬ticle is published, Dick may be "back in the harness.") "THANKSGIVINGITIS." After four long days of glorious acation, double helpings of turkey, and a dance or two, one naturally suffers a terrific let down, on Mon¬day when school resumes its weary course. In fact, most students show an alarming aversion to paying at¬tention, while a good many students find themselves going to sleep in class. This occurs not only on Mon¬day, but on Tuesday and Wednesday, as it is, of course, impossible to recover quickly from five nights of little sleep. At the time this seems not to matter, as the student, in his be¬fuddled condition, is impressed by the mistaken idea that the work on these particular days is easy. Maybe it was for him, that is, it didn't take much time, or at least he didn't spend much time on it. Furthermore, it has been noticed that most teachers are more or less indisposed too. Of course, this comes from sitting up late correct¬ing papers. (We hope). By the next Monday, the student is back in condition again, and al¬ready, he regards the week before as of little importance. By the end of the term, he will have entirely forgotten about it. Not so the teachers. When they give out the grades, they find zeros and low marks at the first of the term, and the cold-heartedly pass out Cs and Ds. Therefore, students, watch your step. Don't slump. You can't af¬ford it, as one zero can make an awful difference in a grade. It's all right to enjoy yourself during vacation, but don't waste the next week tring to recover. Snap out of it!—Wayne Bundy. READ 'EM AND WEEP. Leland: "I was mistaken for Buddy Rogers the other night." Maxine: "You were? How's that?" Leland: "Oh, I was standing on the corner when a fellow came up to me and said. 'Buddy, can you spare a dime?'" Paul: "I'm in love with the most beautiful, the grandest, the dear¬est and the most charming girl in the world." Marge: "I like you, too, Paul." A: "Do you believe in love at first sight?" B: "Yes, but you've had so many looks." X: "Am I the first fellow you ever kissed?" Y: "Why, certainly! Why do you fellows always ask the same ques¬tion?"—Toots. FOOTBALL BANQUET.

GOBS PROMOTED TO MIDSHIPMEN AND ENSIGNS School Flay "Cappy Ricks" To Be Given Tonight At Junior High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Emily Merrill, Editor; Blaine Larsen. Associate Editor. On Wednesday evening the S. O. S. nautical organization witnessed and administered the impressive ceremony of promoting Angus Folkman and Ab Lund from the lowly degree of Gob to the esteemed and honored position of Ensign. Also the following Gobs were promoted to the order of Midshipmen: Russ Van Dyke, Frank Rynders, Scott Dye, Junior Bramwell, Earle Thompson, Hugh Rowe and Alan Nye. Both orders having qualified for their positions by their showing of good friendship, courtesy, and scholastic rating; and also by each writing a five thousand-word theme on some phase of navigation. Admiral Wright presided over the ceremonies, with the commodore, captain and ensigns of the ship as¬sisting. The now recognized enSigns and midshipmen were congrat¬ulated as equals, and the lowly gobs have disappeared until mid-year. The members of the ship then raid¬ed the ship's galley and after clasp¬ing hands for 60 seconds in silent prayer for the lost heroes of the sea, adjourned to their respective bunks. As taps was blown and each shipmate drifted off to sleep he could be heard murmuring, "S. O. S."—Sportsmanship Our Su¬premacy.—Commodore Doone. SCHOOL PLAY That long waited for O. H.
