Gee, it’s wonderful to have all
the gang back from college for the
Christmas holidays—wonderful for
them and wonderful for us. It
seems like ages since everybody
Itad a chance to be together.
Some of us have had more time
for fun than others. A great many
of us have been working in the
various stores, and by tonight we’ll
be worn out. Still, it’s nice to have
your own money to buy gifts for
those you want to remember.
Having a vacation from school
during the snow has been very en
joyable, but we’ll have to pay for
it dearly next spring by attending
classes longer than we normally
would. It’s the same old story of
never getting something for noth
ing.
Teen agers, like everybody else,
have a problem in deciding what
to select for that very special one.
Dad isn’t the only one who is apt
to end up with an outlandish pres
ent. A lot of the younger set are
going to be in the same boat.
Most any gift is thrilling, though,
when it comes from that certain
boy or girl. It isn’t the gift, but
the giver, that makes it appreciat
ed. That’s the way it ought to be,
since placing a dollar and cents
vafUe on a present isn’t in the true
spirit of Christmas.
We have been prouder than ev
er during the holidays of our sing
ers and band members at New
Bern high. They have certainly
demonstrated their ability, and the
excellent training received from
Mr. Donald Smith and Mr. David
Walters.
Want to give your mother an
other gift for Christmas, in addi
tion to the one you’ll place under
the tree? Why not help her with
the housework today, tomorrow,
and for the rest of the holidays?
With this suggestion, we extend
to all teen agers a wish for a very
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New
Year.

LAST MINUTE REMINDER—Ann Bland makes sure that
Santa Claus doesn’t forget her when he makes his rounds on
Christmas Eve. It isn’t hard for him to remember someone
as lovely to look at as this New Bern High school teen-ager.

Keep It Sacred
If God so loved us that He gave
His Son,
A ransom for the sins of every
one,
How shall we value Christmas—
count its worth?

Let’s take care not to desecrate.
As in our joy we celebrate
The anniversary of the Christ
Child’s birth.
Be merry, yes, and may all woes
take wing.
But most of all proclaim the ’
new-born king.

He comes to make his blessings

and grace, and makes the nations
prove the glories of his righteous

and wonders of his love.
May your garden and surround

who pass your door this Christmas
the sentiment expressed in the fol
lowing lines;
"Everywhere, Everywhere,
Christmas Tonight"
Christmas in lands of the fir tree

Christmas in lands of the palm

Christmas where snow peaks stand
solemn and white,
Christmas where cornfields lie
sunny and bright.
Everywhere, everywhere, Christ

Christmas where children are hope
ful and gay,
Christmas where old men are
