NEW YEAR’S GREETINGS
IMPRESSIVE PROGRAM RENDERED
A very beautiful and impressive
Christmas program was oriven in
chapel Friday morning before the
patrons of the school and the stu
dent body. The pupils marched in
quietly with a very reverent air. Up
on entering they beheld a mass of
evergreens back of which was the
beautiful snow white mountains, with
a stream running through the mid
dle of them. On either side the
scribes stood. A star in the east was
shining brightly.
Very sweetly the invisible choir
sang, “Silent Night, Holy Night.”
The stately scribes appeared telling
the story of Christ. The vested choir
marched in singnig, “O’ Come All Ye
Faithful,” after which they knelt in
front of the platform. Six on either
side. The three wise men beheld the
st'ar in the East and came to worship
the Babe. They sang in unison the
first verse of “We Three Kings of
Orient Are.” The first wise man sang
the second verse offering his gold as
a gift. The second one offering
Irankinsence, while singing the third
verse, and last of all the third offer
ing his myrrh while he sang the
fourth one. The distant choir and
the vested choir joined in singing the
last verse.
The Shepherds were in the field
and an angel appeared telling them
that Christ was born in Bethlehem.
The Shepherds immediately went to
Bethlehem finding Mary and the Babe
and Jos,-,ph. They fell down and
worshipped the wonderful Babe.
The Scribe said, “For God so loved
the world that He gove his only Be
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth
on Him. shall not perish but have
everlasting life.” The invisible choir
then sang a most beautiful Christ
mas carol.
other scribe then quoted,
Come Unto Me All Ye that are
heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
The choir in the distance sang a
most beautiful selection.
The Antihonal choir then .sang
“Joy to the World.”
Mo.st impre.ssive was the singing
of the Amens and the chanting by
the Antiphonal choirs.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEETS
The Athletic Council held its sec
ond important session Friday before
the holidays and elected the basket
ball manager for the girls’ team and
the two assistant managers for the
boys’ banquet. Alice Elizabeth Freeze
received the former honor while Rich
ard Armfield and Fred DeLapp were
chosen to act as assistants to John
Wood who was elected manager at
the last meeting. Miss Freeze was
asked to find several candidates for
assistant managers out of the junior
class.
At the meeting Mr. White stressed
the importance of leadership in the
junior class and di.scussed the neces
sity of leaving the steering of the
school’s affairs into capable hands.
I'he Athletic Council met last week
and after much discussion elected
John Wood basketball manager for
this year. An assistant will be elect
ed from the junior class.
John came here four years ago
from Thomasville and since then, he
has become known to the school as
a “live wire.” John is very capable
of holding the basketball manager
ship.
DEBATING PRELIMINARIES
HELD
The juniors who tried out for the
junori-senior debate met Thursday,
Dec. 18th. The juniors delivered their
debates so smoothly that Mr. King
stated that it was the best prelimi
nary he had ever seen.
Henry Gurley, Garland McPherson,
Lorraine Ellison, Rose Hyman, Eliza
beth Brown, Olin Matthews and Tate
Andrews were among those who tried
for the finals.
The debates were very interesting
and held the attention of the audi
ence. After much deliberation the
judges declared Henry Gurley and
Garland McPherson winners.
The senior tryout was held the next
day. Joe Snjoak, Semmie Herman,
and Toney Antonakos were the only
debaters present. Toney agreed to act
as a substitute as he had not prepar
ed a definite speech. This left Joe
Smoak and Semmie Herman as the
Senior debaters.
All three of the boys from both
cla.sses are members of the Oralio
club. This shows what kind of d3-
batars the Oratio club can put out.
SENIOR CLASS MEETS
BUDDING FUTURES
"ris true we are builders, but
are we real architects? Do we
carefully and diligently inspect
the material which goes into
the foundation? No true archi
tect fails to see that this es-
sentail part is sound. Each day
we lay a brick in the founda
tion. Have all of your bricks
been true brick or has there
been too much sand? Cement
the bricks together with real
school spirit. At the end of each
year lay a corner stone. Make
it strong, engraved with firm
resolutions for the future. If
you do not go to college your
high school diploma is the last
brick in your foundation. WRat
kind of a structure could you
build pn your foundation?
Would it support a skyscraper
or a mere hovel? What do you
want it to support? “Face life
squarely.”
—L. J. Shipman.
The senior class met Thursday
morning in last meeting before
Christmas holidays. .TJie report of
the financial success of the carnival
