Senior Christmas Party . . . It was a Week before Christmas vacation that the seniors had their annual party. As has been the tradition each senior brought a toy as his admission ticket. The entertainment was provided for them by a group of persons each representing a different coun- try. These interesting specimens posing as humans each told some Christmas traditions of his own country. The group concluded by singing Jingle Bells together in their native tongues. y 24 In addition is the unusual skit, Chuckles Chapman Hevv in to give the class some of his latest laughs. Santa Claus, played by Mr. Green, came on the scene to give presents to the good little senior boys and girls. Last but not least was the food, plenty of it and good too!
