7. COMPARISON It was Christmas in the U. S. A. The snow was soft and white, And laughter rang from the firesides '.There Yuletide cheer was bright. The housewives hummed a merry tune As they fixed the Christmas meal; And hymns were sung from churches. The Christmas spirit was real. It was Christmas in Europe, too; The snow was wet and gray. And children huddled in shadows to wish the winter away. No Christmas meal had they, Not even a slice of bread, And they cried beneath the icy wind. The Christmas spirit was dead. Jane Gates ’48 FRIENDSHIP'S HAND President Truman made some plans To help feed war-torn Europe a lands. He said, This is the only way. Save a slice of bread each day. Go every Tuesday without meat; On Thursday, not an egg we'll eat. To save a starving child each day;( It is the Christian good will way. So get behind our President s plan To orove the good in American man. So hLove thy brother as thyself. And feed some country's hungry mouth.

I never did like that guy, Madeline Benjamin '49 SILENT NIGHT The world is almost purple As the trees reflect tne white, Nov? slowly the shadows deepen Till the dusk becomes the night. It is a silent night With the sky an icy blue; And window panes are frosted With shapes of every hue. Jane Gates '48 30 r SCHOOL MINDED Ding-a-ling goes the bell; Uo start Johnny, Sue, and Nell.

9. Tr.at nig.it the boys gst ready early and Joe walked over to the fija with ?oa. Everyone was looking foreward to the contest between Fete and Com. The referee made both boys understand that it ..as to be a fair f iglit. •Then om and Pete got in the ring, the olace rang with cheers end then quieted suddenly as the whistle ble',7. In the first round the fight v?as very close. 3ut in the second round Pete, determined to win, tripped Pom and the strict referee called the bout. Pete was in a rage and Pern did 't like it either because it did- n't settle the thing that had to be settled. '•Then they had gone to the locker room, Joe, having a hunch th t something -vac going on, ’.vent into the looker room and sure enough,Pete and Tom were finishing it up. 1 Stand back, kid, Tom muttered when he saw Joe's lc k. keep out of this. 3o Joe did oven if it was hard. But someone else had conceived the same idea that Joe did- hr. Harder, the boy's club leader. There was supposed to bo no fighting in the gym outside of the ring. That was a strictly kept rule and when hr. 3ardcr saw the fight,he asked, '.That's going on here? The boys shot a glance at hr. Harder but went back to their fight quickly, Haven't you boys read the rule book that's been around hcret hr. Harder asked. You shall both bo suspended from the club for two months. Yes,sir, said Tom, for the fight was over now. But ' etc didn't know a thing that -as happening. He was out cold. lladeline Jette '5C THE LITTLE SCAN It wae one of tlvase lazy days in late July.
