Decem ber 17, 1934 HALLWAY ECHOES hhoe uWe donlt mind outdoor sports as a Whole, declared the majority of the 5th period gym class. tWe don't even mind relay races in the back patio, But when it comes to kicking a ball around garbage cans in the lunch hour, we rebel. And We can't say that we blame them. aoua Mr. Warren, one of the school jan- itors, is now recovering from an at- tack of appendicitis, During his ab- sence his son Ellsworth has very cap- ably filled his position. -1...Q-h. The boys and girls gym fields have undergone a leveling and smoothing process, which was needed very badly. The bare cracks and holes in whicil the soccer and hockey bails used to lodge have been smoothed over by a road scraper and a steam-roller, and we are sure that this will be wei- comed by the players. It has been mentioned that there will be a 1m u put in next summer if there is enough money, but 56 far that has not been verihed. - hoh M1 .

The Christmas spirit fills the hearts of the junior high school pupils. Many of them are going away. Jean Spari- ing is going to stay on an orange ranch in La Verne, Frances Clippinger will spend part of the vacation tshe hopesi at Carmel studying sea anem- one. Nancy McFarland announces stolidly that she 'is going to stay home and wrap Christmas presents. My! What a Christmas that child must be going to have, LA TOR 1E New Years.

When approached 011 this subject, Alice Ostrander declared that hilarity V'ns n71 right, but that the only reason she makes resolutions was because it was so much fun breaking them. Ah well! Such is life. 9 December 14, and already the little children are writing their letters to Santa Claus teare of Hallway Ech- oesi. Some of the letters have already arrived.

A short business meeting included the reading of the minutes and a report on the need of food for the poor on Thanksgiving. Miss Miriam Smith, the head of the Girl Scouts in South Pasadena, spoke on service and loyal- ty to the school. Miss Smith led sev- eral group songs. Taiko Nambu did a very colorful Japanese dance and the meeting was adjourned, 0 Spanish + In the Spanish Club the boys and girls have made a store. A few of them are storekeepers while the rest are the customers. They looked up the Spanish names of many fruits, veg- etables, and other articles bought in the store, They pay real money just as 'if they were really buying things in Spain and also speak in Spanish. On Monday, December 3, Mary Elizabeth Goodspeed 7A-117 gave a speech about her visit to Mexico. She Illustrated her talk with many arti- cles she bought while on her trip. 17110.; Stamp and Coin 4..

We all hope these new officers will have the best of success during their period of oflice, r-.r...g Knitting ,+ The girls of the school have been making various kinds of articles by the art of knitting. Many useful gifts and pieces of wearing apparel have been manufactured by the young ladies. Scarfs, purses, bathing suits, and sweaters have been the most popular, Many are finished by this time and many others are still in the making. Boys Learn Indian Games Bod Coach Mumby, coming from India, has seen a lot of their national games. One called UKho-Kho is a tag game with boundaries and regula- tions. The other called HKubbity us a combination tag and tackle game. Most of the boys have liked these games very much. .r.h.h..-.- -1- Mr. Dail th- tCoutinued from Page 3j killed by hounds, others whipped with a lash and steel whips and then dip ped in scalding water, Once the state of Georgia abolished the use of the lash, so instead, the men were h 111:; up by their hand cuffs with their bodies hanging in mid-air. The pris- oners begged for them to change baci; to the lash. The legislature made the change and the old horrors came back. Many are killed by this cruel torturing. When traveling and while working on the roads, the men are chained in steel cages, in which they live most of the time. But all do no: live in wagons. Many are chained in wooden barracks and many have been burned to death in these detestable shed-like structures. Other subjects discussed by the class include, Strikes; Unemployment Relief and Insurance; Gold Standard; Old Age Pension; Inhation; Disarma- ment; Dictatorships; New Deal; So- cial Security; War; the Epic, Ohio, and Federal Plans; the Philippine Problems; Child Labor; Welfare; Dee pression; the Lindbergh Act; Naval Conference; and others, h 1 Christmas Cards and GIFTS at Badgeners Art Shop 913 Fair Oaks Ave.

Harriet McCall has evidently an- nexed the school soccer place kick record, if there is one. She kicked ninety feet which is about three quar- tcrs of the length of the girls field. That is very good for punting, but for place kicking it's even better. In riding this term the outstanding riders are Eleanor Chamberlain, Pat Larkin and Ann Roberts. The long distance scream champ- ionship goes to Anita Malcolmson, it seems. When she yells in second per- iod gym she can be heard all over the school. ' Miss Cowgill; treasurer, Miss Holway.
