Christmas Holiday Controversy Rages,
Some Wanting Three Weeks Some Two
“I want three weeks Christmas!”
“Rather have two weeks with two
days Thanksgiving — to eat — and
two days Easter—to fish.” “Give
me three weeks Christmas any-
Wonder what? Well, it’s the
question propounded by those
FULL MOON reporters:
“Had you rather have three
weeks Christmas with no Easter
and Thanksgiving holidays or two
weeks with the other vacations,
consisting of two days each?”
“Dumas” Coggins stated, “I’d
rather have two weeks Christmas
’cause if we have three weeks it
takes Santa too long to come.”
Not agreeing. Bob Redwine prCH
tested that he would like three
weeks out to rest his soul (he
thinks it needs it) and to make
more money.
The ambitious students of A.H.
S. (such as Pete Clark and Betsy
Bremer) said, “We want three
weeks, to work longer and make
more money.”
“Goon” Little remarked that he
is gonna starve if we don’t get out
three weeks for Christmas for him
to get his eating done.
“Yeah, man! I want two weeks
Christmas—so we can have Easter
Monday off—and I take it,” stated
Joanna Lefler.
“With all this work going on at
school I don’t have time to play,
and if we get out three weeks I’ll
have time to catch up on some of
it,” explained Tommy Wolfe.
Sister Betty said that she agreed
with Tommy on the three weeks,:
take advantage and get
the extra day that we don’t get if
we take the three vacations.
Jim Lamar is afraid that he
would get tired of a three-weeks
holiday.
Jane Morton and Geraldine
Boone want three weeks in order
to go visiting, but Ellen Dennis and
Joyce Boone argue that with three
separate holidays they could get ■“
three visits.
“Aw, heck, have a holiday for
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Eas
ter; then I can work over the
Thanksgiving holidays and make a
little money to buy my gal a Christ
mas present. During the Easter
vacation I can work and start sav
ing for the next year’s Christmas
i present,” begged ambitious Dwight
Wilhelm.
