Gentry Editor’s note-This was written before the close of school lest week. The Spirit of Christmas runs within the students of Roxboro High School. If one visits the school during this period, carols may be heard throughout the building. The Glee Club deserves credit for adding to the festivity with songs of Christ’s birthday such as: “Silent Ningh, Holy Night and “Oh Come All Ye Faithful,” etc. Every student is beginning to feel this holiday so strongly that school and studies have become a second thought. The home rooms are decorated with Christmas trees, and pic tures of Santa Claus and the Christ Child adorn the boards and walls. An attractive poster “Peace on Earth, Good Will To ward Men” may be seen when yoi visit the library. One of the pret tiest Christmas trees I’ve seei is the one so prettily decorated lr Miss Kathleen Soles’ room. Mis Roxannah Yancey has drawn a picture of Santa Claus on her board and it is so artistically drawn, it seems almost lifelike. Students group together and discuss their plans for the coming year. Some are planning to spend the holidays at home; while ot hers plan to go out of town. Names have been drawn and gifts will be given out Friday when school closes, ending school days for this year. But we all plan to begin a happy and suc cessful New Year at Roxboro High in 1941. The Roxboro High faculty and members of the student body join with me in wishing everyone the merriest Christmas possible. o HI-Y MEETS The Boys’ Hi-Y met on Monday at the Roxboro High School. Glenn Titus, faculty advisor, took charge of the program since the ( president was sick. Christmas pro visions for the poor were discus sed and it was decided to have a Christmas tree, and for each Hi-Y member to bring one per-j son to a Christmas Party in the high school building. Flash Newell still has an ad for a Dale. See what you can do about it, Santa. Annie Laurie wants her ring back. 1 1 Elizabeth has a portrait of Tom. How Tom Hill wants a portrait of Elizabeth, Yours’ Truly wants everyone to have a Merry Christmas and aur- j ing the New Year continue to co- j operate as you have in the pastj or we’U be. out of our jobs. f itup* | r £\ *:• r | 4 h f PMw PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO.
