36 EASTERN ECHO 4.H. r I V-'Ry-,J -rs-1 we E - tv-. Y 4-rs.. '- 1' W Group I winners in the Class Paper Contest, sponsored by the Eastern Echo. Their live paper was called the IK O.K. Mr. Carter is the Form Master and Miss Phelps the , Composition Teacher. TWO NIGHTS A night of snow! a night of stars! A night of merry joys! And gay pine trees in tinsel decked, Midst splash of coloured toys! The great shops Haunt their banners bright, A magic spell to weave Un jostling, scurrying, laughing crowds, Cf course-'tis Christmas Eve! ' A night of snow! a night of stars! A night so crystal white! The fields were bathed in solitude, And slowly waning light. Within a lowly manger, poor, A halo, pale as morn, Illumed the joyous mortals there- The King of Kings was born! Two nights of snow! two nights of stars! Two nights so far apart! And yet it was the self-same joy That filled each raptured heart! -Dorothy Deacon.

The publication of a periodical school paper, a paper to sell for a few cents. and be devoted entirely to school news, happenings and events. Nlhat do you think of this idea?
