Long Ago In a stable long ago Winds a-sighing soft and low, A little baby boy was born, Of a mother tired and worn. In the sky a star shone bright Making daytime of the night, Wisemen on their weary flight Saw this star so wondrous bright. T hen they beckoned to one another, Soon the baby to discover, Bringing gifts of shining gold, Heirlooms of the days of old. Angels sang their gladsome song For they knew ’ twould not be long, E’er this baby sweet and mild Would be called their dear Christ Child. Mary Towne, High Seven. Seventh Grade Prize. A Christmas Gift T he gift that I ask for this Christmas, Lord Is a gift not purchased with gold. ’ Tis a gift that was promised that first Christmas night When the news of T hy birth, Lord, was told. Let the promise of peace on this fair earth Come quickly to nations, I pray Let the angels’ promise of good will to men Have meaning on this Christmas Day. Joan Hauser, Low Nine. Ninth Grade Prize.

Miss Genevieve Kelton and Mrs. Emma Wilkes, two splendid Garfield teachers. Kindly, thorough, patient, encouraging, inspiring, — through their devotion to the work which they love they lighted candles which have made a little clearer, a little surer, the pathway to success in life of thousands of Berkeley boys and girls. To them in affectionate appreciation we dedicate this Christmas issue of the Garfield Gleaner. Christmas Night The shepherds watched a wondrous light. The night was still, And o’er the hill, A star shone bright. The wise men watched until the dawn. The night was still, And o’er the hill, A child was born. The bright star watched the new born Son. The night was still, And o’er the hill, Our Christ had come. Phyllis Myers, Low Ten.
