Home Ec. Girls
Decorate Dept.
The Senior girls decorated the
Home Ec. department for Christ
mas.
Eva Nell Ledford, Imogene Cody,
Mary Moody and Ruby Allen de
corated one of the bookcases with
holly and white candles.
Shirley Lewis, Alma Bartlett
and Ruby Harrison decorated one
of the bulletin boards. For a back
ground they used dark blue crepe
paper covered with silver stars
and moon. On this they put cut
out pictures of the Night Before
Christmas. It made a very pretty
picture.
Phyllis Spivey, Mae Martin,
Rebecca Lewis and Betty Lou
Pruitt decorated the other bulletin
board with a picture of the wise
men following the star.
Betty Lou Smith, Joyce Weather
ly, Doris Peek and Barbara Clark
made a wreath for the door out
of the FHA emblem. They put
evergreen around the emblem and
tied a big red bow with holly
at the bottom of the wreath.
One could tell by looking at
the Home Ec. department that the
Senior girls really have the spirit
of Christmas.
Four Plays Given
The Dramatics class of Swan
nanoa High school presented four
short plays in chapel Dec. 17.
The first play was “Baby’s Christ
mas Dinner.” Characters: Mrs.
Brown, Eva Nell Ledford; Susie,
the maid, Doris Peek; Doctor
Dosem, Donald Gant; and Mrs.
Dosem, the nurse, Ruby Allen.
Mrs. Brown was discovered
rocking her sick baby, who had
eaten too much Christmas dinner.
Susie called Dr. Dosem who came
right over and pumped some of the
food out of baby, and with some
hot clothes and castor oil the baby
got well. Too bad baby had to
lose the Christmas dinner, and
Christmas dinners are so expens
ive!
The second play was “Christmas
Proposal.” Characters: Aunt Abi
gail Spriggins, Barbara Clark;
Squire Joe Breen, Bobby Slagle;
Elsie Winslow, Imogene Cody;
Oscar Benson, Jim Stroupe.
It was Christmas Eve and Aunt
Abigail was discovered in the liv
ing room humming “Little Annie
Rooney.” When Elsie enters to
help decorate the room, Oscar
comes over and brings some holly
and mistletoe. Squire brings a tree
over and they decorate it Squire
proposes to Aunt Abigail under
the mistletoe and as the curtain
closes they stand arm in arm.
The third play was “Jus’ ‘Fore
Christmas.” Characters: Tom, Bob
by Slagle; Mrs. Davis, Janette
Banks; Aunt Susan, Barbara Van
over; Uncle Jonas, Donald Gant;
Solomon Barker, Jim Stroupe; Ned,
Bobby Gragg; Bess, Betty Pruett;
Nell, Barbara Clark.
Tom had been Christmas shop
ping. Fearing that his sisters
would see the gifts, he hid then:
under a table scarf, in chairs, anc
behind a picture. The fun begins
when Tom leaves without moving
the presents, and the family dis
covers them.
The fourth was “Christmas a I
Wood Chuck Hollow School.’
Characters: Minnie Sloan, Barbare
Clark; Agnes Blake, Eva Neii
Ledford; Stella Moore, Ruby Al
len; Hilda Mack, Betty Lou Pruett;

Nash, Donald Gant; Percy Worth
Jim Stroupe; Patsy Hogan, Imo
gene Cody; Miss Jennie Brink

S. H. S. Senior
Class Has Parly
The Senior class had a big
Christmas party on the day school
was out. A short devotional was
given from Micah 5:2. “But thou,
Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou
be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall He
come forth unto me that is to be
ruler in Israel; whose goings forth
have been from of old, from ever
lasting.” The thought was ex
pressed that after all it is the
small things that count at Christ
mas time or any other time, .iust
as Bethlehem, one to the least,
came to be the greatest of the
cities of the world.
Refreshments were served by
the social committee as James
Fender and Junior Phillips gave
out the gifts. Each member of the
class received a gift, and all was
fun and excitement with the party
hats, given by Mr. Medl.n, deco
rating the scene.
The refreshments included ice
cream, drinks, cookies, tangerines,
and home-made candy furnished
by Shirley Brown, Barbara Van
over and Joyce Weatherly. After
wards, Jim Stroupe, chairman of
the social committee and Chirley
Brown “cleaned house” while Mr.
Medlin was serving on Bus Duty.
This play was in an old school
room. The teacher had an old
desk and the children had benches
to sit on. The children, who were
dressed to represent a back
country school, presented their
songs and Christmas recitations in
practice for their annual Christ
mas program for their parents.
And what a scream! You should
have seen these 12 Seniors dressed
like little kids.
Mr. Medlin, Dramatics teacher,
directed the plays.
