The Spirit of Christmas. The spirit of Christmas should be that of happiness and giving. It is a time of joy and merry making. On this particular Christmas of 1923, we, the student body have the peculiar privilege of being one of a very large family instead of one of a very intimate family. We have the opportunity which we have never had before of demonstrating in a genuine and heartfelt way the real true spirit of an ideal Christmas. We have the privilege of giving a happj smile and showing a happy face which is what will be needed at this time more than any other one thing. Make this Christmas of 1923 one long to be remembered and one spent in such a way that years from now you can relate with pride to your grandchildren lmv. i" live the happiest Christmas.

A special time was SCl aside to do this act, chapel. December 11. Members <>f the student body were selected to talk to members of the faculty and cheer 'em up. The talks consisted of things that the student body intends to do to keep the "spirits" of the faculty from sinking. We are to eat all the food off our plates so it won't be so much trouble to wash the dishes. Mr. Lear is to bv relieved of his "Gift Shop" as soon as possible. We arc to get our drawing outfits so Miss Coulling will be "cheered up."

The Student Body will see him in person and tell him what you want and where to go to find you.
