CLOSniG OF PI^SSAGE
EXPLAINED
Many Milne students have been wondering' just why the passage between the
girls* locker rooms and (he Cafeteria
has btien clo.-^od^. The Orlmc'on and White
h..s "finally fouiid out tne reason for
this.
When the "Sub" wc.s openedp Doctor
Brubacher's perrnj ssion was not obtainudt
therefore when Miss Futteror -aVl Mr , J-:.3rdy
asked for a place in v/hioh to
sots, he askecl them why they could not
use the "Sub"o They, of oourse, tclvd him
•ibout Milno students using thi
so Doctor Brr.bac. .or clo^ea ohe passage.

IF CHEUSTIvuiS COULD LaST ALL
DEAE SAlflA—BY US
YEARI
If Christmas could la; t all year,
what a world this would be. If "Peace on
earth ^ood will to men", would always be
as pronounced as it is at Christmas,
woaldn^t it be grand?
If tiiis were true there would be no
Italian-Ethopian War, nor a Spanish Dispute, There would be no need of disarmament coniercnces or of sacrificing human . ivos to the dreaded **Hound of War."
If Christmas would last all year,
good cheer would always be with all people.
Dear S ^ t a ,
Please give us for Christm:.s a
first down payment receipt to the effect
that wo will ..ble to go Milne for
the
rest of the years we are in junior high
school,.
Milne Students
Dear Su^nta,
Please, please, send us a junior
high school of obedient, hard working ,
kind and thoughtful children*

Dear Santa,
Please send us fellow students who
will believe in and follow our laws to
the best of their ability.
IT»S TliE BERRIES
Did you know that kissing' beneath
mis1gtoo has been going around for years
and years?
Supposedly fairies of Europe regarded it as a sacr^^d fruit. Every year
about Christmas time when it
W'uuild
becomo ripe, amid hu^^Q festivities they
would hL.rvest it.
The Anglo-Saxons gathered it to
hang over altars when weddings took place.
As you sou, this is where the idea of
kissing bonoath the mistletoe began.
Down through the years it was used
for v;eddint:,s until orange blossoms and
holly took its place. Yet it didnH stop
hero. It spread to the kitchens where
for tuo first time men would rush
to
kiss the loved one who stood beneath the
^ttle bunch.
'
AiSC-in It didn't stop. Soon it was
in tho parlors. Couples would rise from
their sects, w...lk quietly over to where
it hung, gently iciss, nd return again
to their chairs. This movument-so unlike
the shouting and scrambling- of our
younger generation! (concinued p^. 3),

THE CHRISTMAS STORY
IMurnWv
Soon after Joseph and Mary were
married In Nazareth a oommand went forth
from the umperor for all the people to
go to the towns
from
which thmiC
families had come, and there to have
their names written down upon a list. So
Mary and Joseph started to travel from
Nazareth to Bethlehem. When they arrived
they found the d ty full of people. The
only lodging they could find was in a
stable.
In this lowly stable a little baby
was born and v;as laid in a manager.
On nii_,ht some shepherds were tending thuir sheep in a field near Beth*^
lohom. Suddenly a light shone
and an
angol of the Lord stood before them.
They wore very much afraid. But the
angol said,"Be not afraid; for behold,
I brings you news of great joy, which
shall be to all people; for there is
born to you this day in Bethlehem a
Savior v/ho is Christ the Lord, the
anointed king. You may see him there
and may know him by this sign: He is a
newborn baby, lying in a manger at the
inn."
Then the shepherds decided to go
and see this new king. And they went and
worshipped
the baby Jesus v;ith his
mother and father, Mary and Joseph.
