First, paper is greatly needed to aid in the wnr effort-in many ways and secondly, the money derived as a- result of this drive will aid the school. DEL.

The 'character and personality of a person can very well be judged by his use of words. The loud boisterous use of words us- Bally PHP!! ,opp as ill-mannered and lnconsiderate of others. Such persons are usually avoided and have few friends. ' A quiet, poised, and concise use of words reveals intelligence soundness of character, and a balanced emo- tional llfe. Such people are con- genial, have a lot of friends, and make leaders. People who use words in excess are commonly call ed ngossipsu and need no intro- ductlon. Buch people usually have little. human understanding are bigoted, and are usually try- ing to cover up something in their own lives. They are the trouble makers in this world. Fortunate, indeed, is the person who 1s smart enough to realize that if he can't speak well of others,1t is wiser to never speak at all. e Then there are those people who. have developed the .habit of using sweet sounding or uflowery' words. They are the flatterers and one should listen to them with caution for generally there is an ax to grind. Pollticahs and high powered salesman are typical of this lot. The use of profane words reveal shallowness .of character, lack of considera- tion, the absence of respect, and emotional instability. g Profane people are usua1ly'unhappy persons whofincit difficult to get along with the members of their own family and their neighbors. ' Thus, the use of' words does reveal what you really are. There- fore, one should use words care- fully and with good Judgement. An ill spoken word often leads to ga lifetime of misunderstanding. Im- prove your personality by a con- scious effort to discipline your use of words. Be wise in the Judgement of other people by ob- serving carefully what they say and how they say it.

Whatever our, aims may be, a desire to finish our education successfully, to, improve in ath- letics, to be the best kind of a person we can be, or any other resolution, we must not give them up when the road ls rough and narrowg we must continue ,until our goals are attained. . - There is a definite challenge for us, here at home, to think a- bout: The men 'over there' have traveled a long' way on the road to victory, and some see .the termination of it not for away: they aren't giving up until the last mile is behind tnemg aren't we even willing to begin? --Betty A.-Cochran' ' STUDENT COUNCIL FAILS AN IMPORTANT PHASE OF DUTY Convocation Programs Sadly , Missed by Students d Faculty 1 .Remember.thoee exceedingly en- tertaining and enjoyable convoca- tion .programs we used to have?

WE MUST HOLD ON TO CHhISTMAS MORE THAN EVBn THIS YEAh ' 1944 is une Year For Gifts That Take Time and Thought: Gifts of Love hetner Than Dutv. , We want to hold on to Christ- mas more than ever this year. But let's do away with Nchristmas as usual.' It should have more significance for us, be kept more in memory of that first Christ- mas. We've shared heartbresks, anxiety, hopes, and prayers this whole year long. Now at its end, let'e share ourselves unselfishly as l8wCS1SbF8t8 our Lord's birth. .Let's forget the sumptuous gifts that we used to wrap in an ex- travagsnce of tissue, tinsel, and bells. This is the year Rr gifts ' that take time and thought, gifts that help the morale because they are given out of love, not duty. Let'e give this year in memory of those who are not with us. Here we can be lavish without shame. If you really want to give yourself, why not send a greeting that is Hgood fore something? To an invalid you might send a card stating that it was Hgocd fern an evening of reading every week. or Ugood for? homemade ice cream once a month. To a harassed mother you might say the card was 'good fern keeping Johnny every fortnight. Be certain that ,the impulse comes from your heart and that you really intend to carry out the proposal without fail. y Your own gifts of love should be .peculiarly yours--of yourself! -ili- THE 'ADVANCED' ART GLASS consrnucrs WINDOW scenes WHICH assassins STAINED GLASS ' EP, .lj qFL::.. , we as The advanced art class, under the -supervision of Mrs. Brueck- heimer, are making large pictures of colored constitution paper which represent stained glass windows and are in keeping with the Christmas theme.e The stu- dents and their assigned projects are as follows: Two Angels ln -Prayer-Wilma Brlnson and Barbara Nixon: Holy City-Ilah Addington and Jo Ann' Boyg Madonna and Child-Mary Jane Cox and Harry Witt: Mary, Joseph and Jesus- Frances Vance and Doris Belle: and the Sheperds and Their Sheep is an all class project.
