Halfback Tom tlnidf-r ki-pt Mar- shall in constant bi-wilderment by scoring t'our ot' Amundst-n's five touchdowns. Included in his va- riety of tallics were a ti-5'2ll'fl plunge, a 50-yard interception run. 41 60-yard sprint, and a 235-yard pass play. The other touchdown was made on a 30-yard toss t'rom quar- trrback Christ Pappas to halfback Larry Tickncr. who continued on downfield for the remaining neces- sary 25 yards. Two extra points were converted by l3ill Pearson. Amundsen should certainly be proud of its fighting eleven, and especially proud of halfback Larry rickncr, who is one ot' the cltY'S highest ground gainers. In fact. Larry, in several games, has car- ried for more yards than the oppo- sition as a whole. For cX2H1lDl4'. ill the Taft game, as a team Taft col- lected a meager 57 yards while Tickner gained GR yards on 1-l car- ries. ln the St-nn game, St-nn made only 56 yards while Tickner reclcd off 117 on 12 attempts.

The annual Christmas Story Cou- test was won by Julie Neason, 38, who submitted her wining entry entitled and . . . it turned to gold. Honorable mentions go to Nanci Wichert, Jean Sodensen, Judy Loc- wy, and Sharon Iacomini. The LOG would like to thank the English teachers and students t'or their splendid cooperation. DK Pl' lk Once upon a time, in a very small kindly candle- was loved by town, there lived a stick maker, who everyone. This little old man owned his own work shop and charged only the wealthy people, who could easily pay him, for his services. It was an old custom of the town to go to the great altar of the only -church on Christmas Eve, and give oft'eriug's of gifts to the statues of the Baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary. For the finest gift, the holy statues of all the creatures in the Nativity scene came alive to accept it, while the heavens opened in splendor, ami beautiful angels sang to all the world. Year after year, the poor old candlestick maker just stood aside ami watched the others. t'or he could never afford to present anything really good enough. After such a blessed event one vear, the kindly gentleman made ip his mind to spend the following 'ear making a completely different. uffering for the next Christmas ervice, llalf starved, he scrimped ind saved, and devoted all his spare ime to the gift: and finally, a few lays bet'ore Christmas, the magnifi- -cnt work was finished. The beau- iful work of art was a pure gold 'andleholder, in the form of the ativity scene at the town church, hat chimed soft seasonal melodies 'hen all the candles were lit. Over- light, the masterpiece became fam- mus, and kings ami men of great 'ichcs, t'rom all parts of the world mffercd the candlestick maker enor- uous sums of money for the golden iolder. llut. it was made especially 'or the Child Jesus, and that was vho was going to get it. Two days before the big Christ- ias offering, the little old man awoke to find his precious gift of old missing. lt was stolen!

Because that's the title of this year's senior play to be presented Thurs- day, January 17, ami at the day ami evening performances Friday, .January 18. The story, by John Emerson and Anita Loos, revolves around a shy. conservative fellow, Chester Binney, who makes believe he knows a famous movie star in order to make his girlfriend jealous. because ever since she began attending school in Chicago she acquired some high falutin' ideas about men! Quite a problem arises when the movie star comes to the small town of San- dusky: and from here on only trouble and confusion develop. For- tunately all ends well! The talented participants were chosen by the director, Miss Marion f'llllIll'it'lx'.

Everybody is getting into the joyous wonder of the season. The Student Council and the Key Club are active preparing for their holi- day festivities. Jingle bells, jingle bells, the merry tune is heard as tl1e Student Council begins its annual Christmas mailing service. Sending singing telegrams and cards to fellow class- mates is an excellent way to spread that Christmas spirit. And not to forget, the Student Council is hold- ing an open house. Members will serve coffee and cake to add to the faculty's enjoyment. The traditional Christmas tree found on the first floor will be purchased and gaily decorated by ambitious council members. Lovely, sparkling orna- ments made by the art classes will deck the boughs. Christmas is the time of giving to those whom we love, and es- pecially to those less fortunate than ourselves. Christmas baskets filled with food and brimming wit'i holiday treats will be given to needy families of Chicago. Council members will deliver these baskets with words of cheer ami glad tid- ings. This year the Student Council has planned a special project: a col- lection of food literature as a start. Books, intezesting magazines and other types of reading matter will be gather 'tl together and given as gifts to tl.2 County Jail prisoners, so they too can celebrate Christmas. Many lonely men will find Christ- mas this year a little more cheerful with something constructive aml interesting with which to occupy their minds- The Key Club is by no means idle. The boys plan to givc baskets brimming with t'ood and clothing to needy families. The activities of these organiza- tions are all aided by the coopera- tion and the willing contributions of Amundsenites who are anxious to join in and make all the school projects a success. All enjoy the pre-Christmas plans and everyone is interested in the happiness and welfare in those around them. These are only two of the many organiza- tions around AHS participating in Christmas cheer.
