Ffh, 'H 'x El U' wire. DMEM T The Christmas Boxes BOUT the time when other people were busy with their shoipping lists, the Domestic Science Department began to develop a mysterious plan. Not a word to anyone did they say 'because it was going to be a surprise. The sewing classes knittedg so did Miss Kriedt's drawing pupils, Miss Von Rohr's cooking classes beat, rolled and stirred bewildering mixtures-for the secret. Everybody did something. But willing workers alone couldn't pay for this costly secret so they finally consented to let others contribute money. Beside this, they sold pop-corn balls and finally enough money was collected. Then Miss Von Rohr visited Miss Niles, and together they visited Miss Kriedt. These teachers later talked to their pupils and then it was found that the school was to be told about the surprise. One day everyone was invited to come down in the dining room and see. They came. On two long tables were many boxes. These boxes were all open and inside were-what wasn't t'here?-sweaters, washcloths, scarfs, wristlets, candies, fruitcake, cookies, stuffed dates, and gum for t-he boys with the colors. The plan was a great success from the first and after the Entre Nous girls had packed them, the boxes were shipped off to the enlisted boys of South High. In addition to the Christmas boxes, the Domestic Science classes under Miss Von Rohr's direction, did the following work: 50 baby bonnets, washed and sent to Belgians. IOO baby jackets, washed and sent to Belgians. Tracing linen. washed and pressed for making hand- kerchiefs and other articles. Candy, cookies, and bread for Red Cross Bazaar. I'ies and pop corn balls for Red Cross benefit sales. ELVERA EDLUND 'll f -If WQLZ -lllf - .pf -1510. ---a - f - -lf! S -V E S 2 S ' 'Z , -1-.,, Sl. gg , 30
