Christmas Holidays

In accord with the annual
Christmas spirit of Santa Claus,
Christmas stockings, nuts, fruits,
and candy, came an announce
ment to th« High Life Sfaff from
Principal A. P. Routh pertain
ing to the holiday for the Yule-
tide season. These holidays will
begin at 3:30 o’clock on Decem
ber 18, and end the morning of
of January 2. The holidays are
arranged in this manner in order
to allow the students more time
to w'ork uptown in the depart
ment stores and ’ relieve the

last few days before Christmas.
Phillie Presents
Proper Presents
Since there are only, ten more
shopping days until Christmas, it is
nearing the time when we should
give some thought to our selection
of Christmas gifts. We have asked
Phillie Package wrapper, a local stu
dent and gift-suggester extraordi
nary ,to suggest a few gifts for
those closest to us. And now we
shall turn this ai’ticle over to' Phillie
Packagewrapper.
First on our Christmas list are
our teachers. An appropriate and
useful gift is an ivor.v-handled, gold
inlaid hari-kari dagger obtained at
“Ye Olde Sword Shoppe” on the
corner of North Market and West
Elm Streets. Also included with
this handsome bodkin are three
sheets of nice paper for cleansing
the blade.
Second on our list is tbe friendly
postman who every Saturday morn
ing brings our favorite magazine
“Shelton's Paper Dolly Cutout Re
vue.” For him, I have chosen two
thoroughbred goldfish housed in an
attractive container manufactured
by Fluke’s Mayonnaise with a
handy shoulder strap.
For that “special boyfriend” I
suggest a copy of Homer’s “Iliad”
in the original Greek or a cop.v of
Grimm’s “Fairy Tales” in the
Ubanagi edition.
Boys, for the “one and only,” I
suggest a Carlson complete trout
outfit with a “flinite” fly casting
road and a “smoothreel” reel com
plete with five yards of copper line
which completes the kit. Also tops
on any girl’s list of hopefuls is
a topnotich billiard cue, hard to get
during the war, but usually avail
able at any good pool room now.
Until next Yuletide when I shall
be back again with gift suggestions,
I bid you a Happy Christmas and
Merry New Year.
