Market Street " Phone 4-7202 December 17,1954 By Pat Frazier With Christmas holidays here, quite a few of you will have spare time in which you can read. I have listed some of the books in the library which have wonderful stories of Christmas in them. You will -be able to check out books over the holidays, so come in and get some good Christmas stories. One of the most popular Christ mas stories is THE CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens. You have probably already read it many times, but if you haven’t, you will be enchanted by Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchet, and Scrouge as the plot unfolds. Gladys H. Carroll wrote a very good book titled WHILE THE AN GELS SING. This is a very Christ massy story of a 75-year-old woman named Selena Monroe, who is spending the holidays with her daughter, Julia. This is a very exciting story of triumph of the Christmas spirit. . MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, a book by Valentine Davis, is a very impressive story of a Santa Claus who works at Macy’s De partment store in New York. Sev eral years ago this book was made into a successful movie. You will enjoy this book I am sure. Do you like short stories? Bess S. Aldrich collected some of the best Christmas stories and put them in a book called JOURNEY INTO CHRISTMAS and OTHER STORIES. A story by the same name is contained in the book. Other stories such as “Star Across the Tracks,” “Christmas on the Prairie.” and “Low Lies His Bed” also appear in this book. In the non-fiction line we have HOME BOOK OF CHRISTMAS by Mrs. May Becker. Many stories, poems and essays of Christmas are in this book. If you are interested in Christ mas traditions over the world, W. M. Auld wrote a book called CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS which will furnish quite a bit of infor mation. If you have ever wondered how the sending of Christmas cards got started you can stop wondering and find out by reading STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS CARD by either George Buday or R. J. Campbell. Girls! Do you want some hints on Christmas decorating? MAKE YOUR OWN MERRY CHRIS'TMAS by Anne Wertsmer is .just full of ideas for sprays, mantles, tables, and centerpieces. Help make your Hall oF Little Fame The contagious suspense which engulfed Senior High’s candlelite auditorium during the fall Torch- ligh induction ceremony was cul minated for two senior girls when they were tapped into the National Honor Society. For a brief glimpse at some of the things which have deemed them worthy of member ship in the outstanding organiza tion, let’s give them jBi ring via I Southern Bell. I First, 2-2811 and Martha Wilkins. jMartha, better known to her friends I as Louise, took a few minutes away j from “going insane” over club projects and chemistry to give us some insight on what makes Wilk ins run. Her position as president of the LSP Club, one of Senior’s social groups, has. made her re- sponible for the combined efforts of the six social clubs for girls to raise money for their annual tu berculosis drive. Preparation for this service was the way she was spending Sunday with Teresa Brewer and “Let Me Go Lover” holding forth in the background. Martha, whose consistently good grades have earned a gold star, is in almost everything from Mariners to the F.T.A. and Allied Youth organizations.. She is vice-presi-, dent of the Youth Council at the First Baptist Church. Wilkins hails from Lindley Juni or High where she established an equally illustrious reputation. She was head cheerleader (Her mother knew that her baritone would come in handy some day.) and a member of the student council. You can see why junior high classmates se lected Martha Wilkins as the “Most Likely to Succeed.” Next call, 3-3880 and the manse of the Church of the Covenant where Terry Ann Garrison was fighting world history in prepara tion for Monday morning. “Oh, please!” occupied nearly half of the one-sided verbal exchange with Terry Ann, daughter of Dr. Joseph M. Garrison, pastor of the Cove- decorations different and outstand ing. Another authority on decorating is the POPULAR MECHANICS CHRISTMAS HANDBOOK. It has ideas on entertainment, greeting cards, and gifts. This is just a beginning of the list of books on Christmas in the library. Don’t forget to come in and get books for your Christmas reading. Here’s a hint to you shoppers! If you just can’t think of what to get Uncle George or Aunt Bess, pick out a good, popular book for them. This is something they will thoroughly enjoy and remember long after Christmas is over. MAULDIN OIL COMPANY DIsiRIBUTOR^ ' FUEL OIL, AND KEROSENE 1410 WEST LEE ST.

With Christmas time quickly approach ing, GHS gals are seen frantically trying to finish their handiwork in time for December 25. If Julie Redhead, Betty Sink, Josie Ward, and Susan Graham don’t huhhy, there will be at least four males around here with “one sock on and one sock off.” Their pulled expressions lead one to wonder if they know exactly when to purl and when to knit. The location does show, however, that the situation is getting desperate enough to warrant coupling class room and wool. The two should make a pretty interesting pattern! nant Church. Loquacity, by the way, is one of her many attributes. Here is another student who finds herself engaged in nearly all phas es of school life. When she isn’t selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts to get the choir off to New Orleans there is always plenty of home work. Squeezed in between Eng lish and history are time demand ing offices such as secretary of Allied Youth, vice-president of the Bible Club, and president of her youth fellowship at the church. Last year delegates to the district Library Club convention elected her president of that group.’ It is not all work though. Terry is secretary of the GWI social club. The Garrisons (There are five), moved to Greensboro from Louis ville, Kentucky, when Terry was eight. She spent her next eight school years at Curry School where she was president of her ninth and tenth grade classes. “Just wonderful!” was the reply concerning her reaction to becom ing a member of Torchlight. Bible Organization Holds Last Semester Meeting On December 13 at the Mayfair Cafeteria, the Searchers Bible Club held their last semester meeting to celebrate the Christmas holiday. At previous meetings, the club members have been addressed by various ministers of Greensboro, however, this meeting was planned and carried out by the club offi cers. The club’s Christmas project was completed yesterday. Members of the individual classes each adopted a needy family and supplied Christmas for these families. The classes divided themselves into groups which took one mem ber of the family as their project. “Although a great deal of satis faction may be obtained by seeing the families receiving their gifts,” reports Mrs. Edna Randolph, “we feel that it is best to allow the par ents to play Santa Claus for their children.” Open 9 A.
