Christmas Plans, Already?
Planning for Christmas al
ready? Yes, Good Sport Club
memb€rs plan to make an outdoor
scene to put in front of the school
during the holidays next year.
The scene will be Santa Calus
sitting in a sports car loaded with
gifts. Since this project will take
several months to construct, the
club will begin working immedia
tely after completing semester
exams.
Selling Easter corsages is also
included in spring plans of the
club.
Members of the Monogram Club
are most helful at basketball
games. They announce names of
players of both the home and
visiting teams. Advising this group
are Mr. A. Malloy McGregor and
Mr. C. V. Lundy.
All service clubs helped with
the Polio Dance at the Masonic
Temple last night. |
Six Seniors
Take Exams
First Time
Some people have all the luck,
but it appears that luck just ran
out for six seniors who have to
take exams regardless!
Because of a school ruling that
all seniors must take first sem
ester exams, Judy Brown, Allen
Cronenberg, David Harper, Glenn
Lee Hill and Blount Taylor took
senior high exams for the first
time this week. Dan Robbins has
only taken one exam before, but
he would not have had to do so if
the course had permi'tted exemp
tions. His semester average on the
subject was A as far as his three
six-iweek term grades were con
cerned.
Now, these five boys and one
girl kno-w how the “plebians” feel.

Snakes, “little black books”,
mistletoe, and poems provide an
unusual variety for the Exchange
Column this month.
How do these things figure in
the exchange papers? Well, three
students at New Hanover High
School in Wilmington collect some
unusual items for hobbies. George
Wheelis has a collection of 13
snakes (of all things!) which in
clude rattle-snakes, copperheads,
and water snakes. Many people
colleot records (that’s not so
different), but Robert Hatch has
a collection of approximately 700
records (that’s unusal, I’d say,
wouldn’t you?) consisting of every
type of music from jazz to sym
phony. An amazing hobby of Jane
Bond is a collection of dates in a
“little black book”. This, she say.s,
helps her remember when certain
things are to be dene. Not a bad
idea, huh?
Kissing LTnder Mistletoe?
An article in The Rambler from
Norwood High School reminds us
of the origin of “kissing under
mistletoe”. This custom dates
back to ancient Gaul and Britain
and was venerated by the pre-
Christian religrious society of
Druids. It was gathered during the
celebration of winter soltice and
was conisidered an emblem of
peace and good forture. When
enemies met underneath, they em
braced, thus the custom of kiss
ing under the mistletoe. (How
many of you knew this joyful
tradition had such a beginning?)
