Lend Your Co-operation Although school has closed before the scheduled time, the band and the glee club are still working hard for their concert Tuesday night. Tickets must be_ sold. The community should respond. The band turns out one hundred. per cent to all public functions which request their presence. Uniforms are’ now planned for, and it is only through the concert that they can make this plan work out. ‘ It is near Christmas, but that is all the more reason why everyone should co-operate. If you do -not wish to attend the concerts contribute at any rate. The band as a whole expect your co-operation. The White Christmas Those who witnessed the. white Xmas sponsored by the Woman’s Club of Nevada City, were merely affected by the sight of the school children depositing their gifts at the foot of the beautiful Xmas tree. Materially, their gifts were not like the Three Wise Men of old, but morally and spiritually there was the same thought behind those gifts. The rain drizzled down and the wind blew the tree from side to side while carols were sung by the glee club. But the spirit which Wag’ so _ prevalent through out was not dampened by these facts. Certainly the givers felt more joy in presenting these white gifts to the poor, than they, as receivers -of gifts even more beautiful will feel upon receipt of theirs. This is the spirit of Christmas. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone and may that FIND GOLD Scientific method of immense value to all prospectors and miners whether experienced or not.

Sickness The “flu’’ scourge is with is but there are hopes for its quick departure. For over a month it has been trying to gain a foothold at school, with 40 absent last Thursday, school was closed Friday, not to reaopen again until the 3rd of January. The staff wishes a speedy recovery for those students afflicted with this dreaded sickness. There Is a Santa Claus Listen, everybody! There is a Santa Claus! Beljeve it or not. A long time ago a little girl wrote to the editor of a New York paper and asked *him if Santa actually existed. In reply the editor wrote a leter which has by popular request’ been published every year since. He declared that there is a Santa Claus. Assembly i Thursday, the 15th, an assembly was held to determine the name the high school wished to have for its basket ball teams. : The following names were submitted: Goldbugs; T.: N._ T.’S; Grizzleys; and Yellow Jackets. The latter name met with the most approval and was selected as the future name for our teams. Heres hoping this name will bring a lot of luck to the fellows. Girls’ Sports . Since the cold weather has arrived the girls have been compelled to stay indoors during P. E. class. Miss Fischer has been giving the girls some very interesting and valuable talks. Some of her topics con‘cerned Christmas, among which were, the Christmas Tree on Lake Merit Island, the Spirt of Christmas Trees. The last was in the form of a poem, which was declared by all to be a trifle sentimental, but yet very clever and likable. An article entitled ‘“‘Cosmetic Follies,’? was read to all the classes but the fifth period. Some of the members of this class were a little persistently noisy, so Miss Ficher required all the girl to read it outside. The article dwelt on the subject of nostrums for beautifying, face peeling, and other things falsely claimed to restore or produce beauty. Personals Miss Alice Carter has left for her home in Berkeley to spend the holiday season. Miss Fischer has also left for her home in Alemeda, where she will visit with her family during Christmas vacation. : Mr. Sweeney who is now making
his heme in Nevada City, will spend the holiday seasons here. He couldn’t find a better place. Miss Tremaine, who has-been seriously sick with influenza, is on the road to recovery, at the home of her will spend the holidays. Mr. Barron left Friday for his home near Stockton, to spend tha Christmas vacation with his family and friends. Mrs. Flewellan has left for the bay, region to spend Christmas with relatives. Miss Stevens, it is said will stay in Nevada City for part of the vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Kjorlie, will spend the holidays at their home in Nevada City. Girls’ League Meeting Last Tuesday during third period, the Girls’ League held a meeting presided over by Phyllis Horn, the president. Nominations were first in order for representatives to be sent to the Girls’ Convention at Richardson Springs next April. About eight girls were nominated, but as several had been to the convention in previous years, the three to go were: Phyllis Horn, Louise Schreiber, and Gertrude Sawyer. It is hoped that they will gain from this convention. Suggestions were next made for raising money and a luncheon seemed the most possible undertaking. For the rest of the period the girls sang songs, one of which was composed by Ruth Parker, a new girl at school. During the same period, the boys held a meeting for the purpose of listening to Ben Sweeney, Bob Tamblyn, and Mr. Kjorlie tell about the Older Boys’ Convention held: at Placerville last week. We heard Ben gave a very good speech over at Placerville. . Mr. Kjorlie said it was the best speech given. We will soon. see his name in print, ‘‘The Silver Tongued Orator.”’ Honor Society Convention On the cold morning of December 10th, Miss Carter and four dele. gates; Beryle Godfrey, Margaret Pharis, Isabel Dunlap and Valencia Whitley met at the post office about Honor Society District Convention, held at Auburn. Mr. Tremaine kindly took the group over. Arriving at 11 o’clock, we registered and then met in the assembly hall where we with tlte other delegates were welcomed. The advisors with drew to another room and we carried on the business. Many. subjects were discussed, among them; privileges of Honor Society Students, how the meetings were conducted, activities of the Society, methods for procurring money for the school,. length and number of periods a day, how well student government plan functions, and sevreal other similiar discussions.
