Page Four THE POINTER Friday, December 15, 1939 Girl Reserves Plan Christmas Activities The high school Girl Reserve Clubs are planning to celebrate Christmas in several different ways. The name of a family in need of help was .secured from the wel fare office. Each club in the city has taken one member of the family to provide gifts for. The high school clubs have selected the three girls nearest the club members’ ages. The clubs from the high school will meet at the “Y” Sunday, De cember 17, for carol singing. The girls will practice some carols, and then leave by cars for the two hospitals in the city, the Methodist orphanage, and Guil ford sanatorium. Carols will be sung at each stop and a wreath will be paced on the doors of these buildings. Holiday dances and parties are being planned by all the clubs.

MERRY CHRIST.MAS Inspiration You asked me to write a poem, No-w what am I to say? Shall it be romance? Music? The Weather? On a beautiful night in May, With a boy and a girl on a park bench? Why, no! Say, that’s old stuff! You wouldn’t like my politics. But I could put on bluff! How I pity poor Longfellow! And Wordsworth, Browning, and Poe Spent lifetimes worrying ’bout poems— I guess they liked it, though. But let’s see, now—where was I? poem? a subject?—oh, yes! Oh, fooey! Miss Goodman take this one! It might pass—I hope—I guess! —Clarice George UTILE BLACK L M Several members of the dra matic club presented a play, “The Little Black Lamb,’’ for the Busi ness and Professional Women’s Club Birthday Banquet held at the Elwood Hotel on December 6.
