The object of this organization is to send pretty as well as useful gifts to the children of Europe who have been denied a real Christmas since the Germans began their drive for world supremacy. Since the beginning of the organ ization, over one million individual gifts have been shipped overseas. This was made possible by the true Chris tian friendliness of American boys and girls. Only their cooperation has en abled the Christmas Festival to bring joy and happiness to thousands, of needy European children. The Lexington High School F.H.A. has done its jsart to help make the Festival successful. This year they sent eighty-six beautiful gifts over seas. When these gifts arrive in Eu rope, the children will say of their American friends, “Surely God will richly bless them in the years to come because of their kindness to us dur ing this beautiful Christmas season celebrating Christ’s birth in Bethle hem.” Key Club Expands The Key Club, a new club in sohool, is a service club and plans to under take many projects.

MAUS’ HOMEROOM CHRISTMAS RELISH —Harriet Leonard CHRIS’TMAS MIXUP I’ll never forget it. I’ll always regret it, the thing that should never have happened to me. I can’t undertand it, I never did plan it, and what caused the mlxup is a mystery. My presents tagged neatly, my gifts completely suited the people who were to receive them. But something occurred, and, upon my word, some imp went to work when I happened to leave them. For Grandpa received Auntie’s necklace of rhinestones, and Auntie got Cousin Dick’s silver watch chain. Baby got granddaddy’s plug of terbaccer, and Uncle the bracelet intended for Jane. Grandma was shocked to get Uncle’s new ash tray, and Mom was surprised to get Papa’s green shirt. Rover (the dog) loved Mom’s big box of candy, but Dad (with dog’s bone) said his feelings were hurt. Sis was insulted with Grandma’s foot warmers, and Baby’s pink rattler en raged Cousin Dick. Big sister’s perfume made Brother resentful, and comics for Janie did not do the trick. This Christmas I’m still looked on with suspicion; I guess I can’t live down what happened last year. And for those souls who get mixed up like I did, I pause right this moment to shed a sad tear. WHAT IS IT FOR? Suppose you got the following gifts for Christmas. Three methods of use are listed after each one. Which would you choose as most logical? (If you get ten right, you’re a genius; if you get from seven to nine right, you are average; six is passing; and below six means you’re an A grade moron.) 1. A CHANTICLEER (a) Take a bath in it (b) Hang it from the ceiling (c) Find some hens for it 2. A CUMMERBUND (a) Chop wood with it (b) Wear it on formal occasions (c) Play a tune on it. 3. A HOOKAH (a) Kill wild game with it (b) Smoke it (c) Scratch your back with it 4. A KUMQUAT (a) Eat it (b) Go sailing in it (c) Put it in a vase 5. A CLOCHE (a) Put your soup in it (b) Keep it for protection against burglars (c) Wear it Answers on page 13. DECEMBER HORRORSCOPE All those born under the Pepsi-Cola sign, look out for a little fat man with a long white beard and a red suit. You will receive an unwanted gift before the month is out. On December 17 you will receive something that will give you a lot of pleasure. (Lexhipep, natch!) This is a good month for Christmas. So watch out for it; it might come! Take special pains to be good, for somebody is watching you. 6. A TAMBOURINE (a) Put it in water (b) Cook cabbage in it (c) Hit it rhythmically 7. A DULCIMER (a) Attach a team of horses to it (b) Play it (c) Wrap it around your head 8. A WIMPLE (a) Sit on it (b) Cut glass with it (c) Use it as a head covering 9. A CHEROOT (a) Smoke it (b) Play games with it (c) Plant it 10. A WOMBAT (a) Blow It (b) Take it to the zoo (c) Send it to the United Na tions L.H.S DAIRY BOWL QUEEN EVE HARGRAVE THEY COME BACK —Joanne Blackwelder In the past few weeks we were glad to have visit us from the army: Bill Palmer and Jimmy Poston, who are both stationed at Cheyenne, Wy oming; and Hostell Lord at Port Jack- son, S. C. Prom the Navy we were glad to welcome back Hewey Clod felter, Eddie Parker, and James S. Streetman, who are stationed in Cali fornia.. Over Thanksgiving, if you looked, you could see at the football games or at the drug stores Stanford Tate, Bill Hedrick, Charles Harbinson, Wayne Everhart, Tommy Young, John Foust, Jake Cross and Bob Hen dricks, all of whom are enrolled at the University of North Carolina. It seemed like old times seeing all the old crowd around town, such as Bob Holmes (Davidson); Jacky Lancaster, Harold Lanier, “Tinker” and Charlie Williams (down at Wake). Then there was Becky Smith, Nancy Hunt, and Bill Hunt (Duke); Mary Ann Hunt and Martha Harbinson (W.C.U.N.C.). We might add right here that those surely were cute girls you brought home with you, Martha. If you looked closely at the foot ball game you could maybe get a glimpse of Bill Cook (Guilford) and J. Bird McCrary (Atlantic Christian) yelling their heads off about the foot ball game, or just yelling (period). It seems as if everybody came home over the week end. There was Zacky Taylor (U.S.C.), Charles Price (Ca tawba), Charles Rothrock (V.M.I.), Hubert Olive, Benny Walser, Johnny McCrary (U.N.C.), Mary Ann Hart- zog (St. Mary’s), DeNeale Peeler (W. C.U.N.C.), Sue Hooper (business lady of Greensboro), and Carol Shockey (New York). And any of those that .ve overlooked, we were glad to have you home for Thanksgiving, too. As we work for better homes, we wish for all a 3Ierry Christmas. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Noses are red, Fingers are blue, We wish a Merry Christmas to you. J. L. Peeler Buddy Foster Jack Hankins "Wit'' Wood Jim Plott Olivio Coggins Tommy Sheets Bob Clodfelter Jane Strelitz Roberta Bafford Mary Dowtin Hall Crotts Charles Myers Curtis Leonard Jean Rollins Bob Goins 'Tubba” Craver MISS MANNING'S TRIG CLASS GREETINGS FROM
