EDITORIAL When the barberry candles burn soft and low And the hearth-fire is flickering- bright, When caroling voices come over the snow And calm is the Christmas night, Then the bells ring out from the old church tower With their message of peace and cheer; Then the Christmas Spirit holds all in its power, The Christ-child is hovering near. Bettv Branstead H-9. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AVe are all of us planning our Christmas lists and thinking hard to solve the prob- lem of brother, sister, mother, and father ' s gift, but I wonder how many of us are thinking of the true Christmas spirit ? Lowell ' s quotation The gift without the giver, is bare applies to the time spirit of our greatest holiday. Most people of today think more of buying an expensive showy gift than of giving a simple present and giving it with the true spirit — love and thought. When the three Wisemen took their gifts to the Frince of Peace they took them be- cause they loved him and because they wished to show their love. This was the origin of the Christmas gift. In the nineteen long centuries which have elapsed since then, a great deal of this love and the putting a part of oneself into one ' s gift has disappeared. In just a few weeks we shall all be giving our Christmas gifts. Let us try to make them have the same significance as did those Christmas gifts, which the Wisemen took to the manger on that first Christmas. E. D. L. LITERARY STAEF Editor - .

GARFIELD ' S NEEDS Garfield has much for which to be thank- ful. We have splendid, spacious grounds, a serviceable gymnasium, well-lighted class- rooms and an auditorium which, though incomplete, will seat the entire school. But — a chain is no stronger that its weak- est link. We have two weak links in our school plant. There are more than 500 boys in the school, and the number is increasing, term by term. The only place for all of these boys to take Shop Work (required in 7th and 8th grades and elected by a large number in the 9th grade) is in the bicycle room, in the basement. Think of it, in a modern school like Garfield! We wish that those who think this is not a real need might be compelled to take Shop Work here for one week. Their point of view would be quickly changed . The second weak link is in the science facilities. More than four hundred boys and girls are studying this wonderful and valuable subject, and for all their experi- mental work they have one demonstration table. Picture a t acher trying to make ex- periments clear to a class of forty, grouped about one table! There should be room for at least four tables in each of the science rooms. There should be opportunity for individual work. We have neither. We need — oh, how we need — a detached shop building, similar to the ones at Edison and Burbank. We need, on the second floor of this building, four rooms for science, demonstration rooms, and class-rooms. We need, too, a room where the band and orch- estra can practice. This might be, also, on the second floor. The rooms now used for science in the main building are needed for arithmetic and history. The room used for the shops is needed for bicycles, which lie out in the rain. The band and orchestra must use the auditorium, preventing the other students from using it. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. D. L. Hennessey. THE CIRCLING OF THE GLOBE Do you remember the day the World Fliers started on their long journey around the world ? Some believed it impossible to accomplish the feat; others were skep- tical. After the planes had left the United States, we were in great suspense as to the fate of our daring countrymen. When the planes reached China, the greatest barriers seemed passed. With great apprehension we learned that England had started a flight in competition with us. Held in suspense, we read everything about the fliers. We even listened-in on the radio to get the latest news. Our sympathies were with those who dropped out of the great race, and yet we were much relieved, for who knew what might have beiai n our airmen, and rendered us incapable of win- u 0 the great victory ? What rejoicing there was when we heard that our fliers had completed the circuit and were safe in the good old U. S. A.! We had been the first again! We have been first in almost everything since our country was born. If you have a good memory you will recall that in 1776 we were the first to break away from Great Britain and stay broke! Therefore, let ' s stay in first place. We are the Dioneers. It is our duty to lead the way and let others follow. We are the openers of paths. Excelsior, is our motto, so Let us then be up and doing, and help to keep our country always in fiist place. Arthur Boles H-9. WORLD PEACE Bang! Ah! one more Yankee bit the dust, said the German sniper as he threw out his shell from the chamber of his gun and resumed his position in his favorite tree. But did that sniper realize how the lov- ing, old, gray-haired mother of that boy felt when she received the news ? Did he stop to think how his mother would feel if he were carried home to her, no longer the happy, mischievous, lively lad or the future man of her dreams, but now gone — and forever ? Yes! you may say it ' s all in the war. But if that ' s all in the war, millions of mothers are pining and sighing their lives away to an earlier grave. How do the young sweethearts feel as they gaze on that gold star that has replaced the blue. How does the young fellow feel when he comes home from the war? His pals of earlier life gone to a better land, he him- self probably never to regain his former health, still horrified by the awful things in war, without a job and in a different world. He has accomplished one great thing, the bringing about of peace. It is surely our duty for the sake of the soldiers who fought and died in the war, to keep world peace. This was their dream, what they died for! Are we, the American peo- ple going to allow their dying hopes to be forgotten? No! For the sake of humanity and in honor of the Prince or Peace, let ' s get world peace and keep it. Then we can feel that they died, not without cause, but leaving a better, safer, more humane world in which their sons and daughters might live. Fred Stripp L-9.
