Programs have been given from time to time, with special music at Christmas. The A9 classes organized a Circulo Espanol which presented a program each month. The two classes alternated in entertaining each other with Spanish play- ettes, songs and dialogues. In this way we not only make our study more enjoy- 1ble, but train our ears to the sound of spoken Spanish, and learn something of the dress, manners and thoughts of Spanish 15S01JlES-HOIIl'fUff0 Griffin and Etmlyn Kcmzvdy. Christmas Gifts Christmas is a time to be happy, but is every one happy? Not so, but last Christmas our school made many people happy, and we brought the things to make them so. Sixty-four dollars was given, besides fifty-five boxes full of clothes, food, books, and toys. The boxes contained clothing for old, young, and babies. Besides clothing. candy, nuts, canned goods, fruits, and cookies were given. These things were furnished by Home Rooms, and when everyone in the room had given some gift, a candle was lighted on the Christmas tree in the office to show us that the room had done its part. The first room to have its star lighted was Room 9. with Mrs. Netz teacher. They received the silver star at the top of the tree. Most of the boxes were grouped about the beautiful tree used in our Christmas play, Upon the Wlatersf' which was later sent to be used in a hospital heneht performance, and then to an orphanage. -lust before Christmas our teachers took the boxes for distribution.. Some of them were sent out through one of the men's clubs of the city, One of our teachers and one of her friends went to the home of some children and gave them a Christmas tree and a dinner, and filled all the little stockings. A box of clothes and food and some money was sent to a family of twelve children in Boyle Heights. Mrs. Kimball's seventh grade cafeteria girls dressed fourteen dolls, which made fourteen happy little girls. Miss Clapp's room sent a sixty pound box of goodies and clothing to some indian and white children in XNalker's Basin. A Christmas tree was also sent and used for their small school house. The children bro ught in five dollars tor our tree.-Mabel Appcll, A9,
