There have been many sugg~stioris as
to the original purpose of &lcorating
houses with greens at Christ~as -time.
Among the Romans it was customary
to present people with green sprays for
the sake of good luck in the ~ew Year.
Some people suggest that the greens
carry a blessing into the homes.
In many of the ancient Christmas
songs, holly is considered the -man's
plant, while ivy is the woman's. 'T~e
idea is whether the master or 1 the IIDI!tress rule the household. The holly

A miniature house with Santa and his
reindeer on the roof, found in the first
grade room, is the highlight of the
Christmas decorations in the Training
School. The house, which is white with
blue shutters, is over five feet high and
about ten feet square. Riding over the
snow-covered roof is Santa with his
teams of reindeer. A red chimney emerges
through the peak of the roof. A wreath
hangs in the window. An evergreen appears to be growing just outside the
door.
Many of the windows are decorated
with holly, candles, and trees, made by
the Art students.
A crib stands in the corner of the

tree decorates the front of the room.

CHRISTMAS DAY
~940
CHRISTMAS-1935'
This is the day of the children
The day when Infinite Love
Out of the silence of ages
A message sends from above.
There's a meaning in the legencl I
Of the Angels' song of old,
When the shepherds of Judea·
Heard the wondrous story told.
,
Love is the heavenly message
Borne on the wings of song,
"Peace and good will," the chorus,
Sing the celestial throng.
There's effulgence in the star glow,
Seen by Wise Men from afar,
Who to the eastward journeyed,
Led, unerring, by the Star.
List to the song of the angels,
Hear how the heavens ring,
Wise men kneel at a manger
To honor the newborn king.
There's a halo in the manger
'
Where the infant Savior lay,
Blessed hope of brighter future,
Radient harbinger of day.
Ring out the angelic message,
The heavenly anthem prolong,
Join me the chorus ceraphic,
Heart and soul in the song.
-S. B. Tobey
CHRISTMAS TREE PETALS
The candles grow on Christmas trees
Wee buds of red and white
And green and blue and purple hue.
Oh, blossomy gardens bright
Are all the parlors of the land
On happy Christmas night.
And in our glad hearts shine anew
Candles of hope and courage, too.
-Mary Carolyn Davies
SHIVERS
The moon is frozen
Icy white.
The air cracks.
The road, white and hard,
Crunches with each footfall.
I look out through
A tiny clear spot I've made
On the frosted window with my
breath,
And thank God
That there is warmth
To make me shiver.
Virginia Johnson
DECEMBER RAIN
The drip of slow rain on mid-December
night,
As unnatural as the life I live alone!
If there must be storm, there should be
might,
And snow ·o r sleet-sheets and the wind's
slow moan.
Danger and the challenge rouse defense
Against the crippling clutch of season's
strength,
And sure seclusion is but stark pretense
When jostling strangers serve to ease
time's length.
For tho' their dampness penetrates the
soul,
The freezing drops are gentle in their
fall;
Each one enchants me as it takes its toll,
And empty shelter shuts me off from all.
'Ere ice will form from that December
rain,
I'll haste to open wide my doors again.

1. And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3. And all went to be taxed, every one
into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from Galiliee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem; (because
he was of the house and lineage of
David:)
5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused
wife, being great with child.
6. And so it was, that, while they were
there, the days were accomplished
that she should be delivered.
7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room
for them in the inn.
8. And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of the
Lord shone round about them: and
they were sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them, Fear
not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which ·shall be
to all people.
11. For unto you is born this .day in
the city of David a Savior, which
is Christ the Lord.
12. And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13. And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
14. Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men.
15. And it' came to pass, as the angels
were gone away· from them into
heaven, the shepherds said one to
another, Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which
is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us.
16. And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.
Luke, Chapter 2.

CHRISTMAS TIME
GIFTS
At Christmas time, if I forget,
Some heart with grief and woe beset
May fail to see that stars above
Are shining proof of God's dear love,
Some children small, to me most dear,
May saddened be and caused a tear.
Outside, the stars, inside, the lights,
More glowing than on other nights,
And each small house is fragrant now
With holly wreath, and cedar bough,
And Love, in visible vestments takes
New shining forms new gracious shapes.
CHRISTMAS
Over the rim of the Arctic,
Hushed in the glacial night,
Deep in the tropic jungle,
Fragrant with flowers bright,
Wherever mankind dwelleth,
Wherever hope fires burnThere the spirit of Christmas
Each year doth return.
1
Lifting the head of the downcast,:
Brightening the face of gloomA light, undimmed by the ages, ·
Shines from a rock-hewn tomb.
Basking in ageless glory,
Children of light are we,
If I forget at Christmas time
Led by the Christmas Spirit
To sing the Christmas hymns sublime, In red be-ribboned gifts it walks,
Some one may think I've lost my voice, Through written words it lives and talks; Toward what we hope to be.
Our tongues are all too slow to tell
-S. B. Tobey
Or, I keep silent just from choice.
The Love our warm hearts know so well.
Ah, no, my heart the music swells
And quivers with the Christmas bells. Lord, may our gifts tomorrow say
To others what our hearts would say.
At Christmas time I would forget
Lord, may they be the symbols of
All hate and envy, care and fret,
Thy great, undying, boundless love:
I would forget my woe and cai:e,
Thy greatest love of all the earth:
The joy I have with others share.
A fire, kindled at Thy birth,
Let me remember others' needs
An unquenched fire, burning yet,
And practice only kindly deeds
Lest our forgetfull hearts forget.
At Christmas Time.

ROWLAND'S ASSEMBLY JS
WELL RECEIVED THURSDAY
GUARQS COME HOME
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The natidnal guards are coming home
for Christmas! Starting at noon on the
21st of this month, trains are scheduled
to leave Camp .Beauregard, Louisiana,
every 30 ~inutes for all points north,
until everyone is literally packed in.
Uncle Sam is really being an uncle to
his favorite nephews this month in presenting them with their pay checks earlier
in order that they may spend the holidays at home. All those with the price
of a railroad ticket and the stomach to
face sub-zero weather can hang their
stocking up Christmas eve under the
home portals.
Edward Rowlands, the world's foremost autograph collector, presented the
assembly Thursday with a most interesting account of his hobby. Among his 2,492 autographs, which were obtained
during vacations and leaves of absence
from his work at the Mellon National
Bank at Pittsburg, are included those of
President Roosevelt, Katherine Hepburn,
Amelia Earhart, Chief Justice Hughes,
Walt Disney, Shirley Temple, Jack Benny, Thomas A. Dewey, Alec Templeton,
Rachmaninoff, Gershwin. His first autograph was that of Lily Pons. Unique in
his collection is the hoof print of M;an
o' War. Mr. Rowlands cited the three requisites for autograph collectors: courage, patience, and salesmanship.
Making a study of others' hobbies is
his new hobby now. One collector has an
accumulation of 2,124 pints of water
from streams and rivers from all parts of
the world.
Mr. Rowlands expressed the opinion
that everyone should have a hobby. It
provides entertainment for leisure tiJ?e
and it gives the person an opportumty
to become more interesting to others.

Nearly 100 of the 140 colonists at
Matanuska valley in Alaska left their
farms to work at the U. S. army base in
Anchorage this summer, turning their
land over to the supervision of neighbors
or permitting it to "grow up in weeds."
Thi~ shift came about because many of
the farmers are not doing well. The small
percentage that stayed on the farms are
averaging a cash income of from $1,200
to $3,000 a year. Wages on the Anchorage
air base run from $216 a month for
common labor, on up, with rough carpenters drawing $360.
W. A. Rockie, director of soil studies
and conservation, stated, "A small, undetermined number of radicals are working
to belittle the government efforts in the
Matanuska valley and to make relief a
permanent racket."
These "radicals" have been publishing
an anonymous mimeographed paper under the nom de plume of "The Ice
Worm." The publication has made the
tearing down of the government management its principal aim.
.
Rockie divided the population roughly into three classifications:
1. Those paying their bills.
2. "A bunch of weak-willed men" being led along by the "radicals" in hopes
of getting something for nothing.
3. The "radicals" who have defied efforts of authorities for two years to learn
their individual identities.

ON TRIP TO MICHIGAN;
WARREN PACES ATTACK
·The C.S.T.C. quintet scored an easy
45-16 victory over Michigan Tech at
Houghton last Friday night to secure its
fourth successive victory of the season.
Michigan Tech led only once and that
was at the start of the game when Hawkins sunk a long shot to give the engineers a 2-1 lead. The Kota!men then
went into .the lead 5-2 on Ray Warren's
two sucker shots and Jed at the intermission 17-10.
Centra! State controlled the ball most
of the time in the second half and held
the Huskies to five points.
Point substitutes carried a major portion of the attack and performed very
well offensively and extra well defensively. Ray Warren was high scorer with
12 points and La Ve;n Van Dyke was
second high scored with 7 pomts.

spective weight will be selected. After

satisfied.

Football activities for the Guardsmen
in Louisiana has, of necessity, been little
more than a topic of discussion this fall.
Now, however, while the rest of us are
thinking basketball the boys down South
are just beginning to organize football,
volley ball, and softball teams. Up to now
the boys have been to busy with their
drills and manuevers to have any time
for actual participation in any of the
sports mentioned. Then too, there was the
problem of lack of equipment to be
coped with; coaching material had not
been sought out and playing fields had
not been planned. There was a great deal
of natural interest and the need for recreation was recognized. Under the direction of Capt. G.J. Burlingame the
program has now assumed definite life
and in a short time the Guardsmen will
be pursuing that field of athletics in
which each is best adapted. There must be
a wealth of potential material down there
and no doubt some classy units will be
welded together. Watch the Southern
schools grab up some of the more accomplished performers.

Christmas spirit is really in the air at
C.S.T.C. as is evidenced by the beautiful
decorations that were arranged during
the week-end by the music department,
under the direction of Peter J. Michelsen
who has been in charge of the decorating
for many years. Twelve enormous Christmas trees gayly decorate each hallway
and the auditorium, thus creating a
Christmas atmosphere throughout the
building.
Each room seems to have something
that suggests Christmas. Under the supervision of Miss Carlsten the art room is
very gay with its many Christmas displays, among them a very interesting collection from Swedish Christmas festivals.
It includes olaques and pictures portraying a Swedish Christmas in its myths
and traditions. Christmas cards which
picture the Swedish Christmas elf and
bright red Swedish candelabras add to
the display. A plaque of the famous
Bambino by Michelangelo surrounded by
evergreen boughs and red candles add
much to the Christmas theme. A table of
Christmas annuals from other countries
and a display of Christmas favors made
by the art students complete the gay picture.
Miss Mansur and Miss Mason have a
very interesting collection of Christmas
books under a beautifully decorated tree
in a wrner of the reading room and a
large tree adorns a corner of the rural
assembly.
