24 THE MIRROR Trying to Live Up to Our Motto Our motto ' ' Live and Serve is a particularly good one to live up to at Christmas time. So the Sophomore girls planned to take a poor family for Christmas. We finally decided on one which Mrs. MacLeish had found out about at Arden Shore. The father was sick and could not work ; the mother, an educated woman, was trying to keep the family of six children supplied with clothes and food. They lived in Chicago, and the children ranged from the ages of twelve down to a baby of five months old. We thought that useful articles, such as clothing, would be appreciated as well as toys. Therefore we soon gathered from home several heavy shirts for father, a lot of baby clothes, and many other things for the rest of the children. We elected a committee to go to the Toy Shop and select some playthings. This committee chose a baby doll and cradle, a big walking doll, which Miss Taylor had very cun- ningly dressed, and another doll and carriage for the girls. A large wooden auto- mobile, a toy dog, and several books were taken for the boys. On Friday before vacation, the girls brought paper, red ribbon, Christmas seals, and cards. All the first period we worked busily tying up presents and addressing the cards. When we finished, we were astonished, for our locker was piled high with gay Christmas packages ready to be delivered. When we came back to school after vacation, we found a letter awaiting us from the mother of our family thanking us for our gifts and saying how glad she was that she did not have to disappoint her little ones on Christmas. After reading this we all felt as if we had really given one family a Merry Christmas, and we felt very happy about it. As it has been our custom for the past years to leave a wish for the class which is stepping into our places, we, the Class of 1926, wish to the Class of 1927 these things: A better scholastic record than we have shown, a higher standing in athletics, and a better spirit in trying to carry out the ideals for which our school stands. Our Wish To the Seniors A sister class to us you ' ve been, In everything that word can mean, You ' ve lived an served right well each day, And now to you we ' d like to say, We ' ll ne ' er forget How well you ' ve set The best example we ' ve e ' er seen. High praise you ' ve won ; In class, on field, in work and play. In all you ' ve done But soon will come the time to part, You ' ve won a place in every heart. W e ' ll miss you so And hope you know That from our thoughts you ' ll ne ' er depart.

Faustena Roberts Good joke! Frances Oleson ----- You Dumbell ! Has Our Class Grown Since Last Year? It is true that during the past year our class has grown in size, but that is not what we are most interested in. Have we increased our ability to understand what our school believes in, our ideals and what they mean? I think we have. Are we more self-reliant? By this I mean better able to accomplish things ourselves without being reminded and asked over and over again. When we start to do a piece of work, do we begin with the determination of doing that work to the best of our ability ? Is it easier for us now to stick to a hard task until it is done than it was last year? In other words, have we grown in understanding, in determination, and in will power ? These are a few of the things which a year of school ought to have done for us, and which we hope in the next two years to carry on.
