SANTA CLAUS FOR A PRlNClPAL?? Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. However, he goes by the alias of Robert T. Cheatham, and' he does not possess some of the characteristics you may think. Play basketball, he can. Slide down a chimney, he can't. And he's also confused as to his proper costume. He is more frequently seen in red socks, or paisley ties, than the appropriate red suit. But don't hold that against him. And don't let your little friends tell you he's non-exist- ent. He'lI always exist, as long as little girls continue to wear short skirts, and boys to wear long hair. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in intra-mural athletics, or new basketball courts, or even electives! And no one can conceive all the won- ders there are unseen, like Love expressed and error over- come. You see, Virginia, if it were not for Santa Claus Cheatham, there might still be iust a little jealousy, or vengeance. But his radiated, kind demeanor alleviates the trouble. You might think that S.C.C. has enough on his hands at Berkeley Hall. But that selfless hero also finds time to be First Reader at Seventeenth Church. Years from now, Virginia, we will remember his up- lifted and uplifting thought. We now take this chance to thank him for everything he has given to us, and will continue to give us, consciously and unconsciously, throughout the coming years. Wir. Hlzerzfhrzm ref

Well, the first on your list can be Mr. Louis Heintz, science teacher. After living in Arkansas and Michigan, Mr. Heintz went to UCLA where he obtained his Bachelor's Degree. At USC he got his Mcister's Degree, and now he is seeking his Ph.D. Although Mr. Heintz looks very kind he was a boxer some years ago. At UCLA he played football and was part of a boat-racing crew. He also enioys fishing. Mr. Heintz enioys his teaching tremendously. Besides his Sunday School class at 17th Church, he has an adult class at San Fernando Valley and one at South Gate. He has traveled in Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska, Canada, and the Western United States. This summer he will visit India. We all hope he'lI be back-with his ties-to teach Science at Berkeley Hall, MYSTERY PERSON Gale Ricketts and Patty Reeder Who has taught French for two weeks, Seventh and Eighth Grade New Math for one week, and is now teaching Sixth Grade New Math at Berkeley Hall? Clue one: Her daughter, Diane, is in the Sixth Grade. If you still don't know who this important mystery fig- ure is, here are some vital facts about her. First, she is a native Californian. Berkeley Hall was the scene of her educa- tion in the Seventh and Eighth Grades. Later she attended Stanford for three years and completed her schooling at the University of Denver where she received her teaching creden- tials, The final clue is that she can be seen frequently ot golf courses and swimming pools because golf, swimming, and diving are her favorite sports. Now, certainly you have solved the identity of the mystery person. lf you are thinking it is Mrs. Warne, you're right.

For kv. .IN Mrs. Wiriifred McKeown gf' Mrs, Ann Ward Mrs. Marion Crow :qts 45' f I ' , S, Mrs. Lois Lipscomb Mrs. Edna Craft SANTA'S HELPERS Dove Hocker and Dave Marshall And who are the little elves that aid Santa? The Chief Elf is Mrs. St. John, often seen hiding in the closet when a camera is near. Mrs. Ward is Vice-Elf in charge of sales. Ann is also head of the Typing Ward. Santa's secretary is Mrs. Lipscomb. The recruiting elf is Mrs. Craft, One of the busiest helpers does not really serve Santa. Her name is Mrs. Crow, and she is the Mother's Club Secretary. The sixth and newest elf is Mrs. McKeown. She is an all-around helper, but her main job is that of book- keeper for Santa's workshop. As you enter the workshop, you can't help noticing the bustling atmosphere of eager workers. The spryest sprite, Mrs. Ward, greets you by the door, and will either answer your question or refer you to another pixy who can. Usually this is the Chief Elf, but occasionally a iunior helper will be of service. Sometimes Santa's advice is required. But always the six Helpers are ready to lend o friendly hand.
