Eleven underprivileged children were the party guests of the girls of Ernest Burnham. HHARK THE HORNY REINDEER SHOUT, Two more Weeks 'till we get out. Though our December theme song has a certain desperate quality about it, we soon find to our astonishment that those interminable two weeks are endurable and, in fact, even enjoyable. Our sureffire recipe for successful prefholiday pleasure is effective, if not always simple. The first requirement is a hike into the woods by a hardy outdoors' man, complete with trusty hatchet in hand. In the event of possible failure, a quick trip by car to the nearest corner lot can be neatly Qand quietlyl substituted. Then there's the inevitable fireproofing requirement to be fulfilled. . . a dip into the community funds for ornaments and tinsel . . . and a dive into our private purse for presents to place beneath the branches. The final result is a gayly decorated Christmas tree guaranteed to dispel the frowns on gloomy faces and promote a holiday spirit of laughter and merriment.
