We have become accustomed to extend
ing this “Merry Christmas” greeting every
Yule Tide. We have observed it for many
years, and it has often passed lightly to our
friends and loved ones about us because the
season was blessed with happiness and good
will.
This year the Season, and the Season’s
Greetings take on a deeper meaning. Those
who are most constantly in aur thoughts,
those to whom we send our first messages, ' ’
are separated from us and ridw serve in
many lands.
For some it will truly be a White Christ
mas in the far, frozen North where they ser
ve. Others will know that the day has come

for job placements has
been “practically perfect”,)
Ruggles has reported. Us-,
ually, classes were filled
quickly. In recent months,
however, enrollment has
declined as the availability
of male students decreased.
The slack has not been tak-i

the frantic appeals of war,
industries and agencies for
technically trained women.
For this reason, Director

urgent today in inviting
women to enroll in the new

special appeal to women’s
clubs throughout the State
to cooperate in securing
students.
