thing getting Now we realize more fully our obligation in sharing gifts To our friends we wish to send small remembrances of some sort This spirit of sharing gifts has occurred from time immemorial and will probably continue through coming ages Most high schools and colleges of the United States are closed during the holidays Students many hav-Ing opportunities to work in stores are confronted with the problem of selecting gifts for their friends and relatives Some seem to think if they cannot give expensive gifts that they should give nothing Often small gifts are appreciated more than large ones Shooting firecrackers and torpedoes is certainly one inappropriate way to commemorate the birth of Christ However Thursday morning the Junior High presented a beautiful program which helped promote a genuine feeling of the real Christmas spirit A two hour reading of immortal will be time well spent A Christmas season celebrated in the right manner is truly one of the happiest times of the year Billy Figg HI-Y The Hi-Y club of Dobyns-Bennett met at 11:00 Wednesday with Wininger presiding Thomas Pyle led the devotionals The principal speaker was A Van Eaton instructor of the social
