The Christmas season brought many un- usual activities to classes. German and Latin classes designed their own Christmas cards, including pictures and verses.

Ot course, it was a coinci- dence that the shortest and thinnest books became so popular. Pls roller skates and tootballs came out ot the closets, our little brothers and sisters came home with bleeding noses, black eyes and skinned knees.
