THE SALEM I TE
Page llhree.
DEDICATED TO TONIGHT
Here we are again . . . three nights before we start for
home . . . sitting around the Christmas tree . . . and waiting
to see what secrets will be disclosed about the Private Lives
of the Senior class ...
This is a new experience for the freshmen . . . they have
heard rumors of what a Christmas party here is like . . . but
they won’t know until tonight is over how much fun we really
have . . . They’ll be looking forward to another one next
year ...
That’s just what the sophomores are doing now, in fact
. . . they are remembering the Christmas party last year
. and are all ready to get started with another evening of
fun . . .
The juniors are sitting down at their tables tired but
happy . . . they have done the work for this party . . . for
many days there have been important lists of committees and
things-to-be-done and presents-to-be-bought in more than one
junior’s room . . .
And what do the seniors have on their minds . . . ? Most
of all, of course, they are wondering what Santa will pull
out of his big sack for them tonight . . . Have they been good
children? . . . Well, tola’bly so . . . And then the seniors
realize, too, that this is their last Salem Christmas party . . .
and that saddens them a little . . . The day-student seniors
have never been to one of these bantjuets ... So they have
on!y the reports of former ones to make them expect a good
time with lots of Christmas fun . . .
For that’s what we hope you w'ill all have tonight . . .
lots and lots of fun . . . And before you go home for the holi
days there is one little thing we want to say . . . MERRY
CHRISTMAS . . . HAPPY NEW YEAR . . . HAVE PUN!

With hearts and voices
Ringing ever true.

In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the field we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits light.

A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

“BACK TO NATURE”
CHRISTMAS TREE
The “Nature” Christmas tree •—
that’s what they call it. A group
of Juniors in Clewell exerted quite
a bit of originality the other day
in decorating a small Christmas
Tree presented by Frank Huggin’s
friend “Thomas.”
Tlie first step in making ye tree
presentable wag borrowing a vase —
what for? Why to plant the tree in,
of course. Knowing so much about
rocks, Lib Carter was elected to dig
up some to hold tree upright in vase.
Then they were ready for the actual
decorating. Grace Gillespie and
Mary Jo Pearson worked up some
Lux suds and dabbed them on the
branches to give an effect of snow.
Next Gracie and Nature-loving Lib
went on a field trip to collect
unique ornaments. They got berries,
acorn cups, pine cones and oak balls
and presented them with pride to
the rest of the gang; Kate, Huggins,
Pearson and Kluttz — who got busy
and painted each little ornament a
different color. There were many
gay colors as: light orange, pale pink,
pea green and lavender, and canary
yellow. These were all fastened on
tho tree. with safety pins, bobby
pins and what not. Then, bang! —
Fanny Kale had an idea. She sug-
gcsted putting cigarettes in acorn
cups to represent candles, she even
furnished the cigarettes which were
painted various loud colors. A Mo
ravian cookie chicken was contribu
ted by Miss Turlington — adding
that delicious touch. The whole
makes a very unusual picture. Go
iu and see it — you owe it to your
self.
The girls seriously considered
planting the tree in a beer bottle
but they feared that it might lean
or perhaps collapse from possible
fumes in the bottle.
