the Christmas of foreign ex

of American teen-agers about
Christmas.
“We are trying to keep away
' from the strongly sentimental

GHS Made Ready For Holidays;
Wreaths Made, Tree Decorated
Saturday, December 4, approx
imately five students attended
the School Beautiful workday.
The main reason for this work
day was to “get Grismley ready
for the Christmas hoUdays.” Four
Christmas wreaths were made and
were hung on the front doors of
the school.
Also for the Christmas season,
GHS has a Christmas tree. This
is the first year that the school
is decorated with one.
A contest which is sponsored
by the School Beautiful CommiL
tee has been waged to decorate
the artificial seven-foot tree. The
students have been urged to dec
orate the tree with ornaments
which they have made. The stu
dent having the most original
Chris(()mas ornament will be
awarded a prize.
Gail Knieriem, a tri-chairman
of the committee, explained the
reason for this contest “is so
that the students, themselves, can
decorate the tree in the manner
which they wish.”
The executive committee of
School Beautiful first originated
this idea. It was decided that an
artificial tree would be purchas
ed so that the tree could be
placed inside the school and so
that it could be used for future
years.
will also be the girl moderator
for the program. Stewart Rogers,

ic Affairs, (YCCA), will present

nel ’Two. However, it will be
filmed several days before the
showing.
