Thoughts On Christmas The C h r i s t m a s season is cne of t h e most beautiful t i m e s of tlie year, but very often in t h e rush of the everyday t h i n g s which are so demanding and pressing, tlie t r u e spirit is missed. With all t h e advertising done by commercial concerns f o r promoting their businesses, the religious significance of such a d a y is lost, in the a t t e m p t to make Christmas j u s t another means of exploiting the public. E m p h a s i s placed on those t h i n g s is not entirely bad if the t r u e C h r i s t m a s is not subjected to a lower plane or f o r gotten altogether. The beautiful s e n t i m e n t s of this season receive their basic motive f r o m t h e coming of t h e Christchild to a lowly m a n g e r as recorded in the Bible. This s t o r y and related incidents can give all of us a new point of view on m a n y phases of life. For instance, t h e evidence of g i f t s always brings up the question of how t h e g i f t was given. Some people are so stingy t h a t they will not give a n y more t h a n t h e y think they a r e required to. Others are good-natured and will give if they are pressed to do so. Still o t h e r s receive such delight in giving t h a t t h e y do it of t h e i r own f r e e will. When we think of God's s u p r e m e g i f t of His Son, we would do well tc. emulate such an example, not only a t this time of year, but, throughout the coming months. It is not t h e price t a g of a. present t h a t should receive the attention, but r a t h e r the. spirit, of the giver. Then, too, t h e s t a r of Bethlehem reminds one of t h a t silent night so long ago. The light of this s t a r shines down through the ages undimmed by h u m a n events. It is a guiding beam that leads all to t h e eternal t r u t h s and to the Christ. This ascending s t a r with its silver s h a f t causes all to pause and to consider how each one of us can achieve something worthwhile and i m p o r t a n t in t h e coming year. Once again, t h e m a n n e r in which a person strives to a t t a i n his mark m a y well be an imitation of t h e humbleness and unobtrusiveness which characterized C h r i s t ' s life on e a r t h . It is now 2,000 years since t h e b i r t h of t h e Christ-child, but present day problems a r e so complicated t h a t t h e onlysolution seems to be in Him. T h e r e is no question t h a t social, poltical, economic, and scientific developments change with t h e passing years. However, t h e moral responsibility of each and every one of us still r e m a i n s t h e same. A sense of principles including those of t r u s t w o r t h i n e s s , integrity, and cooperation is a necessity. And C h r i s t m a s is the time t o remind us of our responsibilities. It r e a f f i r m s t h e elements of h u m a n kindness with its good impulses and s y m p a t h y , l a u g h t e r and light, love and tenderness. In Charles Dickens' A C h r i s t m a s Carol it is said t h a t Ebenezer Scrooge "knew how to keep C h r i s t m a s well, if a n y man alive possessed t h e knowledge. May t h a t t r u l y be said of all of us. And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless u s everyone!"

Lamentations Of A Dorm Before Vacation Oh d e a r w h a t can t h e m a t t e r b e ? My walls a r e a c h i n g witn noise. Oh, won't t h o s e kids e v e r be quiet And gain s o m e dignity and poise? T h e v e g o t suitcases s t r e w n all over my r o o m s , And the w a y they pack is a s i g h t . Some j u s t t h r o w t h e i r t h i n g s in, And o t h e r s p u t t h e m in r i g h t . You'd t h i n k 1 had a choir inside The w a y t h e y ' r e s i n g i n g t o n i g h t ; C h r i s t m a s carols and such, t h a t I like v e r y much, It m a k e s m y a t m o s p h e r e b r i g h t . In my living room now an evergreen stands f h a t s covered with lights and with balls. They've h u n g holly you know and white mistletoe, And d e c o r a t e d all brightly my walls. But hush! All of a sudden quiet reigns Some c a r o l e r s a r e s i n g i n g outside. They t u r n out the lights, to see w h a t ' s in sight, f i l l finally t h e s i n g e r s are spied. They listen with reverence to the songs t h a t are s u n g . Of the s t o r y of the Christ child's birth. And thrill when they sing the songs of the king, And l a u g h when they sing those of m i r t h . But now t h e y ' r e all quieted down And s n u g g l e d into t h e i r beds. While visions of home, but not t h a t alone. Run a mad race in t h e i r heads. Now a n g e l s who on tip-toe come in With c a n d l e s all a g l o w . Sing carols anew, and beautifully, too. In voices s o f t , sweet and low. When m o r n i n g doth break, they all do a w a k e With a wonderful f e e l i n g inside. Vacation is nigh, and 1 heave a sigh; In their own homes f o r a while they'll abide. R. J. Quant
We pride ourselves on our high icholastic s t a n d i n g , and yet we find mrselves in the very u n c o m f o r t ible position of t u r n i n g out students who a r e unable to m a s t e r the English l a n g u a g e . T r u l y it is the mark of poor education and lack of vocabulary when one r e s o r t s to p r o f a n i t y in e x p r e s s i n g his views. Added to this is t h e fact hat Hope is recognized as a Christian college t h r o u g h o u t the count r y .

If each of us did this, profanity would cease to exist on Hope's C a m p u s . Should additional steps prove necessary, the students, who respect Hope and desire to rid her c a m p u s of p r o f a n i t y , could all speak to the individual who insists on using p r o f a n i t y , m a k i n g him feel so out of place t h a t he will e i t h e r leave school or conform to o u r way of thinking. T h e r e is no place at Hope or any Christian school for those who t a k e a d v a n t a g e of the opportunities we have to offer and then go into the world and display contempt for our principles. If some of these individuals, who r e f u s e to conform to Hope's Christian principles, slip in and they do not feel the u r g e to leave, the u r g e to leave should be applied by the administration.

much combing and pinning to make it quite sleek, a mixture of mineral oil and water was combed into the unswept p a r t s to keep it in place. I didn't recognize the mineral oil until I tried to wash my hair that evening. A beautiful cluster of pale lavender flowers was shown and many apologies were made f o r them. I was delighted; they were very pretty. However, I realized why they apologized when they pinned them in my hair. They smclled strongly of garlic.
A Nurse In Manila A n n V a n Eck
Now I was ready; the chaplain could sec me and, incidently could take my picture. Everyone crowded out into the garden t h a t had once been well tended — now due to existing conditions it was a playground and place f o r the family washing to be hung. A little girl was brought out dressed in a red dress much like mine. She was to have her picture taken with me, but she knew I wasn't the native I was posing a s and I couldn't get near her.
So many memories of Manila in the Philippines seem to be of the dirt, rain, heat and general unpleasantness. But along with them come the amusing, interesting, and sometimes heart-stirring incidenta, many directly pertaining to the Filipino people. Let me tell you a bit about the Novarro family to illustrate the interesting. They were a middle class family; most of the adults were high school graduates. The home was large and had been well furnished before the war. About three families of the immediate relation had lived nearby but were forced to crowd into this one house when much of the surrounding neighborhood had been burned by the J a p anese. Rather than the one room Nipa hut of the poorer class, their home had an actual foundation and was made of wood. One of the sisters was an artist, and paintings of the family and of native scenery adorned the walls. On occasional visits with them we exchanged accounts of our countries — the people, the customs, the food. On every visit they acquainted our palate with new and sometimes queer tasting f r u i t s . So I said I liked bananas. When I learned of the many varieties and the many ways bananas could be prepared I was indeed surprised. A polite but firm refusal came when a large, f a t banana cooked in its jacket like a potato was offered.
There were more people waiting in the garden and in the surrounding yards. I began to feel like all three rings of a circus. There were large stone pillars at each comer of the yard and in the midst of my posing the chaplain quietly told me to look in the direction of one of them. There were no young men in evidence in the crowd, but behind the pillar were four of them; they disappeared behind their pillar fast when I looked in their direction.
One experience t h a t I shall always remember with mixed emotions occurred on a Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Novarro had made the chaplain that had introduced me to the family promise to bring me alon - on this particular day and had insisted that he also bring his camera. We arrived wondering what they had planned but weren't allowed to puzzle over it f o r long. I was immediately whiskeJ in o another room and told t h a t they were going to dress me in their native costume. Little did I know all t h a t was enta led! They had borro\ «•(! the dress because I was much taller than Mrs. Novarro and he • sister Nueves. Of heavy royal blue n y o n silk with enormous white birds, it was a gorgeous gown. The net overblouse that is pinned over the dress and the three cornered " s c a r f " was starched to a degree of s t i f f n e s s t h a t we Americans could not tolerate f o r long. While I was admiring the dress, about twenty of the neighbor women and girls gathered to watch the proceedings. The old grandmother who was bedridden had to fit the Jo it to her satisfaction. There were no buttons or snaps; pins were blouse with its butterfly sleeves and fold the scarf — no one else could useJ on these garments to insure the proper fit. When I started to a r r a n g e my hair, Mrs. Novarro said, "Nq, no, one of our neighbors will d» it f o r you; she is a hair-dresser.""After
The people were having a wonderful time. One or two pictures weren't enough though we were perspiring freely by that time. I sat down; then stood up again. With the help of five children, papers were spread on the ground and my skirts were arranged around me as I sat down. The poor chaplain. He took pictures from the usual angle and then, on their request, stood on a chair, kneeled and had as much trouble as I was having. Finally the afternoon ended; but that wasn't all. I spent another afternoon autographing the pictures when they had been developed. Most families had t ken a picture of an American soldier, but the Novarro's graciously pointed out t h a t it was an honor to have one of an American woman. It has been an honor to know the Novarros! ^888888888$®8888^=^88888S88888888888888888888888
