Where lingered love, yet that love born of need. Where men still labored on in search of creed, God sent His son. O holy night! To hold within its hours the heavenly birth Of Him who came from heav’r to sin-cursed earth! O holy night! Into whose gloried worth God sent His son 0 Christmas night! That love and faith and strength might find in crease. That men from tortured souls might find release God gave His Son—- The Christ, the Mighty God, The Prince of Peace. —Rachel Conrad MERRY CHRISTMAS PyPlLS CONIMIE 10 NlEOyjKS Once again the students of Senior High School will partici pate in the annual Christmas pro ject of filling boxes of food and clothing for needy families in our city. This project is sponsored by the Parent Council. As in previous years, the home rooms will secure the names of families from the welfare depart ment, and then proceed to fill boxes, following suggestive lists of articles, including personal gifts suitable to the individuals in their respective families. This year it has been stressed that the students bring non-perishable foods and good warm clothing, staples which perhaps seem com mon to students, hut to a needy family would be a luxui’y. Senior High should really feel that their Merry Christmas greet ings and gifts will be acceptable and appreciated, as they gener ously contribute to the happiness of 18 families, affecting approx imately 100 people. Repeating their contribution of last year, the Carolina Container Company has ^ven twenty-five large corrugated boxes to hold the gifts for High Point’s needy families. The boxes will be delivered just as they come from the homerooms on Saturday afternoon before Christmas by the Parent Council aided by students.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ■ High Point Girls Are Lost In Greensboro O, xieru’5'i tne'' split the air when Mary Lou Ce cil, Nicky Thayer, Irene Meekins. and Betty Hayes of Greensboro were locked up in Greensboro high school on the night of the Social Standards conference. While the rest of the students were enjoying a little friendly discussion on sudent government at the banquet in the cafeteria which is separate from the main building, the girls wandered into the hall. When they started wan dering out they found themselves in the dark with Moses, and chained in, to boot. Then began the works. They shouted for Henry, the janitor. They yelled for help. One of them seriously thought that they might attract attention by yelling “Bison,” since some football play ers were at the banquet. How ever, Betty Hayes kept calm and suggested that they go upstairs, go out through the window of a classroom to a little roof, and continue to yell for Henry. Henry found himself a much wanted man that night. When the roof was finally reached, the girls found that it was covered with rain water. Two of them waded to a skylight and called Henry. Rescue at last! They climbed back in the window and Henry let them out. But, by the way, they still regret the fact that they couldn’t see the teach er’s face when he saw mud tracks leading from a window the next day. -MERRY CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS SEALS Our annual sale of Christmas seals is on the boom again. High Point high school was given by the Red Cross, one hundred dol lars’ worth of Christmas seals to be sold. The seals were distribu ted to the various home room teachers who passed them out to the students. It is hoped that many seals will be bought or sold by the students, since the money will be used for a very worthy cause.
