mBi i ‘HIGH” LIFE, JANtfARY 14, 1921. PAGE THREE JUNIOR HIGH CONTRIBUTIONS Larry’s Christmas Tree On the outskirts of a large city there lived a poor little boy who was crippled. His name was Larry Colelnan. He was always cheerful and never got mad; all the children liked him. His' mother worked in a small factory nearby, but her wages were small and they could hardly live on what she made. His father was dead. Not tar from where his home was, lived Tom Smith a boy about Larry’s age, al though his mother and father were ' very rich, Tom liked Lari’y very much. The boys and girls in the neighborhood learn ed that Larry was not to have a nice Christmas. They decided to hold a meet ing and talk it over. Many ideas were mentioned but none were decidede upon. When the meeting was about over, Tom spoke up and said, “I will give most of the money if the rest will give what they can, then all of us get a tree.” They all decided on tliat plan, and then they went home happy because they knew that they had something for Larry’s Christmas. The next clay Tom met Larry and Larry asked him why he seemed, so happy. Tom said that he was happy be cause he had-a great surprise for some body. , I - “Who is the surprise fori” asked Lai’- ry- V “You wiU know soon,” replied Tom and then ran away. Larry wondered if Tom still liked him. The next day they all went to the woods to get the tree. It was the first time they had gone anywhere and had not taken Larry with them. Tom carried the only ax they had. Dick Howard, a small boy, ran ahead and piched out a fine young- cedar and called the others. They agreed that it was a fine tree and Tom cut it down with the ax. Then they put it in the wagon they had come in and carried it home. They put it in Tom’s cellar. Every night they would come and put things on it, strung pop-corn, candles and decorations. The night before Christmas they aU took the tree to Larry’s home and put it in the room next to Larry’s. Then all put down their presents. Some put candy, apples, nuts, books, and best of all, a new pair of crutches. This was Tom’s gift. When -Larry awoke Christmas morning, he .dressed slowly and was not very happy, because lie was thinking of what.the-'other children were getting and that he had nothing. -He entered the next room slow ly, suddenly he stopped. He could hard ly believe his eyes! ‘ ‘ Surely I must be dreaming! ” he de clared and rubbing his eyes. He looked again, but there it still stood. Realizing, it was real, he ran over to where it was and shouted with joy when he saw his presents. HOLIDAY PARTIES Miss Mildred Morrison entertained the members of the D. D.

FRESHMEN PLAY CLOSE GAME WITH SECOND TEAM HILL’S Bijou Theatre HOME OF HY-CLASS PHOTOPLAYS’ AND An interesting game was played on Mon day night, Jan. 10, between the Freshmen and the second team of the High School. In the first half there was very little scor ing, the half ending 3 to 2, in favor of the Freshmen. The second half was begun with renewed vigor on both sides, and al though the Freshmen had many shots they seemed unable to put the ball in. Except for the last five minutes of the game, when the second tightened and began to shoot, the Freshmen outplayed the second team in passing and team work. The game was played by the Freshmen really for prac tice, they not expecting to run sileh a good game, as the second team had the edge on the Freshmen in height. The Freshmen expect a good season and are securing games with Winston, High Point and other neighboring schools. The line up for the game was. Freshmen: R. F., Morrison; L. F., Swift; C.^ Block; R. G. •R. Wilkins; L. G., Sellars; Second team: R. F., Sebum; L. F., Boone; C., Stafford; R. G., "Williams; L. G., J. Wilkins. GOOD MUSIC Orchestra under direction PROF. BERT HALLAWELL MISS SUMMERELL’S ' VIRGIL CLASS ORGANIZES , The second period section of Miss Sum- merell’s Virgil class has adopted the plan of using one Friday in every month as a Latin program day. This program was enjoyed on the last Friday -before Christmas holidays. Bach pupil had translated his or her name into Latin and’the roll call was thus read. The pupils were required to answer “adsum” when called upon. All motions and nominations were made and amended by the chairman in Latin, which kept the pupils very busy! After the business of electing officers was. attended to the society enjoyed a classical program. They were told by “Julius Brutus” how the Romans told their fortunes with a copy of Virgil.' Several members of the class tried the charm and were surprised to see how magically it worked. Alius Vianix gave the story of Virgil’s Messianic Bcloque. ' Jacobus. Stagman gave a few legends connected with Virgil. Many very inter esting things -n'ere learned from these. The Latin quai'tet, Capra Ludaeroerus, and Jacobus Stagman, Katrina Bellum euo Miliiaorum, Maria Blishua Perkins, sang Elishua Perkins and Jimmy Poole, sang the Latin translation for “There’s a Little Wheel a-Turning in My Heart” most mel odiously. The program was greatly enjoyed and the next one is anticipated with pleasure. You. The Chinaman praiseth his T’s The madarin praiseth his Q, The gardener praiseth his turnips and P’s.
