Need Money?-See Berney BARGAINS IN UNREDEEMED PLEDGES Bit Of History Of Christmas Is Related Did you know that Christmas dates only from the 4th Century as a Christmas festival general ly observed although there are earlier references to the celebra tion of the past in some places. Before Constantine became the protector of the church, early Christmas worshipf>ed secretly. One of the pagan festivals taken over and changed to Christian feasts by Constantine was the festival of Sol, the unconquer able son. This celebration was adopted by the church as the greatest feast of the year in honor of the birth of Christ and was celebrated in December. Various dates were first chosen for the date of Christ’s birth for the exact date is not known. In the 4th Century, December 25 was generally adopted. Christ mas, which came from Christ’s Mass, the mass said in honor of his birth, has been celebrated on this date since. Germany had the first Christ mas tree as early as 1605 which was decorated with burning candles that represented the flowers supposed to bloom on Christmas Eve. The custom of hanging mistle toe comes down from the druids who regarded it as a sacred plant.' • The medieval churches related the birth of Christ in Nativity piays and the singing of carols. The name of Santa Claus Question Of How To Spend Holidays Is Up How I’m going to spend my two weeks vacation: Betty Jean Henderson—Stay home and repair a broken heart or fall in love all over again.

Peggy Pittman—Go way out in the country and get plenty of sleep, Elma Worrell—Sleep! Jimmy Shumate — Eat, drink, and be mei'ry. Ruth Forehand—Looking lor a red head. Very late on Christmas Eve I wakened from my sleep. I heard a noise upon the roof. It sounded like reindeer feet. I hastened to the fireplace And then I looked inside— Down the chimney broad and black Came Santa with a slide. Hiding behind the settee I spied on old St. Nick. He filled the stockings one by one. Here’s what he left N. Frick A typewriter, and Jean Mitchell. She also got one too. For Dess Page who can use it A brand new Ford of blue. J. Ellis got what he desired A brother (anymore?) And a baby grand piano For the G.H.S. Harmony Four. Faye Parnell got a backscratcher And Barbara Harrell, a man. Lorraine Pearce got Gordon P. The cafeteria, a dishpan. For Jane and Ted Jurkewitch They both got a new English book. Christine D. got some new clothes And now she has that “new look.” For Mr. Roberts, who can use it A new Journalism cIeiss. And for all the G.H.S. boys If they want one, G.H.S. lass. The stockings were soon filled From their bottoms to their tops And then old St. Nick left. He had many, yes. many more stops. And I heard old Santa exclaim As he drove far out of sight A very Merry Christmas to all And to everyone a very good night.” Friendliness Pays When you walk down the halls of GHS, how many people give you a friendly smile and a cheery hello?

Next time you walk down the halls, remember to give your friends a cheery hello and see how much happier you will be when they return it. . comes from the Dutch for St. Nicholas, a kindly bishop of the 4th Century.
