HERE AND THERE
What’s all the excitement, girls?
Oh, yes, I know now; it’s that won
derful picture of a Marine that Dor
is A. has. Not bad at all, not bad.
What’s this we hear about Betty
Gaither and “Jiggs” P.? Oh is it
Paul P.? These freshmen really get
around, I must say.
Pat G. has to wash dishes every
night she gets a letter from a cer
tain soldier. They certainly must
mean a lot to you, Pat, those nice
long letters signed “With lotions of
love.”
Some adivce to Alfred Neumann:
Why don’t you ask Wylma P. to go
to the show?
What seems to be perkin’ be
tween Lois Ann O. and that dashing
Romeo, Willie T.? Well, why
doesn’t someone make the first
move? We do wonder!
“Tank” Duclos certainly didn’t
lack a handsome escort from the
football party. Some people appear
to be very bashful in public, but
well, some people just have that
alluring ability and Some just don’t.
What is the reason for all the 1
sulkiness, F. W.? Cheer up, there’s !
always more than one. That certain
college boy has checked out, hasn’t |
he?
/\n, u seems mat Miami Jtseach
holds an important part in Anna
R.’s life, especially the days when
those letters come.
“Shorty” Brown seems to attract
all of the attention of these eighth j
graders. When is the bout, Dot P.
and Guyma S.?
Vivian S. is not very bashful
about bestowing her affections on
a certain “Flash.” After all, why
shouldn’t she ask him to the girls’
glee club party. The girls were
supposed to ask the boys, and
there is a man shortage, too!
Well, me thinks that enough is
enough when the end is drawing
nigh. So long ’til next time.

Winter Solstice
Period of Many
Ancient Rituals
Christmas is celebrated in
honor of the Saviour’s*nativ
ity, and while there are no
records to prove that Decem
ber 25th is the precise date,
historians, astronomers, and
research authorities have
substantiated the fact that
the event must have occurred
during the time of the Winter
Solstice.
The Winter Solstice, when
the sun swings toward the
earth once more, has been
celebrated as a festival of
some sort by the various peoples
of the earth since, and even prior
to, the recording of history.
Symbolic Palm Tree.
In ancient Egypt, the palm tree,
known to put forth one shoot each
month, completed its cycle of twelve
during this period and was symbolic
of the year’s fruitful harvests and
accomplishments.
The mystic rites of the Druids
centered around the cutting of the
Mistletoe whose branches, when cut
and distributed by the Arch-Druid,
traditionally bestowed blessings of
nature and divine favor upon the
receiver.
in me Scandinavian countries,
fires were kindled in defiance of the
Frost King, and families, gathered
about the warmth, spent the long
evenings telling weird tales involv
ing Valkyrie and Werewolves—as
well as anticipating to what distant
ports their ships would sail when
no longer ice-bound. The time was
also sacred to Thor, and the Yule
logs, great chunks of the Thunder
Oak, blazed upon the hearths amid
feasting and fellowship.
Honoring Saturnns.
Two Roman holidays—Brum alia
and Juvenlia—were combined into
one great festival in honor of Satur
nus—Saturnalia. It was a period of
general celebration lasting from
what would correspond to our De
cember the 18th on through the Cal
ends of January. Processions and
gift-giving were in order, the courts
were adjourned and no criminal*
were convicted, while convention was
abandoned, equality reigning among
slaves and free men.
The earliest Christians solemnized
the Mass of Christ, whence the word
“Christmas,” during Saturnalia,
many of the faithful suffering perse
cution and martyrdom as a result.
After Constantine recognized Chris
tianity in the Fourth century, the
celebration of Christmas became an
established custom. %
Indeed, Christmas is celebrated in
honor of the Babe born in Bethle
hem. And the Lord, in His Wis
dom, understands that the traditions
preserved from ancient customs and
peoples are in keeping with the an
gelic enunciation of His Birth:
‘Tear not; for behold I bring you
good tydings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.”
