Christmas News
Os the Tryon School, by Nellie
Rushing:
There was an air of excitement
in the school on Friday morning
as classes went on the regular
schedule. Each room had its
Christmas tree, beautifully deco
rated and loaded with presents.
At one o’clock we filed into the
auditorium where elaborate deco
rations of the season greeted our
eyes and made happy many a little
heart. The huge tree on the left
sparkled and was reflected on the
huge baskets of fruit brought by
the children for our ex-janitor,
Dave Brown, and the present one,
King.
The exercises opened with the
high school chorus singing two
lovely selections. Mary Gaze, our
own Lily Pons, sang the solo part
to “Cantique de Noel”, the chorus
chiming in on the refrain.
Miss Heath told us a story ever
old, ever new—the eternal story
of Love in “The Land of It Might
Have Been Here.” Its truth and
beauty will linger in our hearts
long.
The primary department sang
carols in their sweet youthful
voices. This feature we always
enjoy, and look forward to it.
A play followed, showing the
shepherds, the three kings of
Orient, bearing their gifts of gold,
frankincense, and mjynrth.
The junior chorus did its part,
singing two lovely carols, one of
which was, “Come With Torches,
Jeanette Isabella.”
The Fourth and Fifth grades
entertained their mothers after
assembly with carols and tea in
the home economics department.
In the decorations contest in the
heme economics department, Lula
and Frances Burrell won the prizes
for having the best.display. Theirs
was made of native mountain
greens, artistically arranged. The
prize was a lovely fruit cake made
in the department. All of the
arrangemetns were lovely and the
judges had difficulty in selecting
the best one.
After the room programs and ex
change bf gifts, we were dismissed
for two glorious weeks. Merry
Christmas!
Carolyn Slagle, Edward Man
ville, and Nellie Rushing, of the
Tryon high school band, have been
invited to play at all the churches
in Saluda on the Sunday following
Christmas. Since they can’t be in
all of them at once they have not
decided whose invitation to accept.
Professor James Brooks
Addresses Rotary Club
One of the most interesting
talks ever given in Tryon was 1 the
brief outline on Psychology given
by Prof. James Brooks of Land
rum at the Tryon Rotary club on
Friday noon at Oak Hall hotel.
J. B. Hester, Sr., had charge of
the program. The speaker, who
studied under the noted William
James, and in Europe, has also
taught Psychology. He outlined
the development of this “baby”
science which is being used so suc
cessfully in business, politics, in
the treatment of diseases and in
making people happier. (Moi*e

Haven’t You?
Haven’t you been to interesting
places at times when you wished
you had a motion picture camera
to take pictures of things as you
see them in order to be able to
bring back some of the pleasure
to your friends. That is what
Scout Executive R. M. Schiele and
Mrs. Sch : ele did this past Septem
ber when they visited New Mexi
co and the beautiful Grand Canyon
country. They took the pictures
in colors and will show them to
night at the Parish House imme
diately following the Boy Stout
Court of Honor which starts at
7:30. The public is invited. Those
not able to attend the Court of
Honor may drop in for the pictures
around 8 o’clock.
