There’ll ahvays be a Christmas—
The bells, the candle gloiv,
And babies’ stockings by the fire
Because we ivill it so.
There’ll always be glad greetings
To ring through every land,
And carrollers tvill sing to hearts.
And hearts tvill understand.
We’ll always ivatch the heaven.
Watch one star’s Christmas glmv—
We’ll always have a Christmas,
God help us keep this so!

Red Cross Sponsors
The Distribution
Of Favor Trays
Connie Newnam
This year, in addition to collect
ing money for their drive, the
Red Cross is sponsoring the dis
tribution of favor trays to hos
pitals in the North Carolina area.
Thanksgiving favors were “tur
key nut cups” made from sections
of paper mache, egg cartons and
construction paper. Students, June
Jordan, Barbara Payne, Dolly
Lewellyn, Sandra Carroll and
Alice Robertson of Miss Patsy
Ilurrolsoii’s thii,^ ^t;xiuu ai'i. cittc5s
created them.
Christmas favors are being
made by Mrs. Ida Pickens’ home
room. They will be sent to vet
eran’s hospitals in North Carolina.
The favors are in the form of
Christmas trees with ornaments of
metalic paper. The studnets
were not allowed to use wire or
staples to put the trees together,
so they invented the use of yam
to lace them. The bases are made
of dixie desert cups with wooden
thread spools giving balance.
Enough room will be left under
the tree for nuts and candy.
In Junior High the Red Cross
Committee is sponsoring the pro
ject. Linda Cabot is chairman of
this committee.
Junior Red Cross activities are
under the general supervision of
Student Council. Council activities
are directed by Mrs. Laura Phillips.
