CHRISTMAS
Most of us think of Christ-
mas time as a kind forgiving
charitable pleasant time a
time when men and women
seem to open their hearts freely
and to think of others as fel-
low passengers on the journey
of life
There can be no Christmas
remembrance more precious
than one which gives happiness
and one which comes from the
deepest expression from the
heart
A quotation from a recent
article of Kathleen Norris one
the most noted of American
women writers expresses a
sentiment deeply felt by many
people
“I think if I could make one
suggestion for Christmas it
might be this that each of us
give — give to the hurting point
but give only to one Concen-
trate this scattering of dollars
and half dollars upon one per-
son and be sure that person
needs it”
And again from the same
article “The only real gift you
or I can make is ourselves To
make this concentrated gift
would be to give ourselves
whether we fully realized it or
not”
We are apt to forget the real
meaning of Christmas “Com-
mercialized” as some say
even by those who do not be-
i lieve in its significance When
Jthe prevalent custom of fren-
zied buying and extravagant
giving has over-reached itself
we may experience the happi-
ness of our dreams

HOLIDAYS
We are afraid the Christmas
spirit is penetrating into our
school too soon as every pupil
and teacher is eagerly antici-
pating the coming holidays Al-
most all of the teachers from
the grade and high school build-
ings are going home to spend
their Christmas and New Year
holidays which extend from
December the twenty-second to
January the second Hooray
for Santa Claus and Christmas!
“F CLUB” INITIATES
The “F” club held its annual
initiation of football boys who
desired to become members
Monday December 18
Previous to the initiation
premonies the old members of
Ihe club held a regular business
ling at which a constitution
' 1 a set of by-laws were ' Cash
for the government of land
amined upon their knowledge
of the technique of football
and required to symbolically il-
lustrate the completion of a
forward pass Some of the
boys did a splendid job of
“nipping” the pass but most
of them became nervous and
fumbled They were then re-
quired to undergo a most
gruelling test to determine the
condition of their nerves Var
ious other tests and ceremonies
were passed through before
they were instructed in the se-
crets of the organization The
ceremonies were completed by
taking the final oath Mr Hill
Mr Fisher and Mr Boyce em-
phasized the three main points
of the oath as : clean sports-
manship clean morals and gen-
tlemanly conduct in short lec-
tures After all the candidates were
duly initiated and accepted
Clare LaPorte was elected cap-
tain of the football team of
1923 The club then adjourned
to the Our Way where refresh-
ments were served After the
refreshments the boys sang
“Hail ! Hail ! the gang’s all here”
and gave 15 rahs for the F
club and the new captain and
departed for their homes with
instructions to the new mem-
bers to wear distinctive uni-
forms to school the next day
The F club is an honorary
organization composed of let-
termen of the Fairview High
School and stands among other
things for clean sportsmanship
clean morals and gentlemanly
conduct It is the best or-
ganization in the school and
should command the respect
and support of all the students

SOPHOMORE NOTES
The Sophomores had
Christmas party Wednesday
evening at the High School
The Domestic Art room was
artistically arrayed with cedar
green and red crepe paper and
a large Christmas tree stood in
the corner All who came
brought a small present which
was given to Santa at the door
When all had arrived Santa
gave each one a present such
as dolls guns and horns After
having some fun with them
the presents were put in a sack
and are to be given to poor
children for Christmas The
remainder of the evening was
spent in playing games “leav
ing town” nut races Virginia
Reel and many others
Refreshments consisting of
cocoa sandwiches doughnuts
and popcorn were served cafe
teria style
“Follow the mistletoe
Follow the holly
Chris Krinkle bids us
Come and be jolly
With the Sophomore class
At the hour of seven-thirty
Come and celebrate early”
JUNIOR NOTES
Every one is very good this
week but that is easily ac-
counted for since Christmas
is so near The Juniors are
studying unusually hard they
handed in some maps of the
United States and since draw-
ing them they have decided
that California was not one of
the original colonies and that
Ohio is on the east side of the
Mississippi The holiday spirit
is in the air and the Junior
class wish everyone a very
merry Christmas and happy
New Year
GLEE CLUB OPERETTA
“Sylvia” a pastoral operetta
in two acts by Maude Elizabeth
Inch and staged by our High
School Glee Club Friday night
at the Lyric Theatre proved
Oooaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
o o d C li e e it
A Merry Christmas to our many good friends and a wish of Good Will to all are
the good tidings that NUNNELEE’S GROCERY broadcasts throughout our trade ter-
ritory through our live wire sending station (Fairview Republican) we sincerely wish
you Joy Health and Prosperity and that if you are not already one of our good sat-
isfied customers that you will be when the Baby 1923 comes toddling into existence
Be one of the trail blazers who by helping us and let us help you we will both
grow and build as did the trail blazers in the days of “49”
We hope to conduct our business in such a way that we will meet with the ap-
proval of the followers of the Golden Rule
The movement for which we have always stood means that the square deal
must be laid four square and builded on a rock
We hope to see the day when unfair methods of doing business are banished
and that manufacturers brokers jobbers retail merchants will sell goods as they
Would like to be sold to However we are all at this time walking through the Valley
of the Shadows but hope the end of the present crisis is not far and that we again
can place ourselves on higher grounds of financial circumstances
As I write this epistle my mind drif s back to the prosperous times which closed
only a few short months ago which were So unappreciated
If I were able to express in a few words that which I believed to be most val-
uable most helpful to human beings I would say contentment and love one for
another In my way of thinking these are the greatest words In the world as in
these words lifts men’s life to its greatest possibilities of power and beauty Without
these the world is a desert With these it blossoms like roses
Again wishing all mankind every where a merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year and that the Christmas spirit may dominate in us and be nourished and kept
alive throughout the whole year and this old earth be transformed into a new Eden
and men and nations instead of being ever ready to rise up In warfare would all be
Working together for the common good '
to be a decided success The
operetta was of such a nature
that it was greatly appreciated
by the general public and espec-
ially by those who support and
are interested in classic and
modern music-literature
In the last ten years Glee
Club work has been recognized
in all our largest high schools
and colleges It has grown
with phenominal rapidity and
now the idea has penetrated
into our high schools With
this fact in view we have cause
indeed to be proud of the
knowledge that our high school
is able to vaunt a Glee C'ub
and more especially that it is
of such a nature as to encour
age a more intellectual and high
class type of literary high school
activities Perhaps the most
conspicuous factor of this work
is the fact that our boys and
girls are efficiently trained to
appear before the public with
that ease and grace of move
ment which is always pleasing
to and appreciated by an audi-
ence The staging lights colors
and beautiful costumes were in
keeping with the finished pro-
duction of the operetta and
showed a great deal of careful
preparation talent and artistic
ability
We feel that special mention
is due each character but as
space will not allow this we
will mention a few of the lead-
ing parts Sir Betrom De
Lacey and Lady Sylvia the
court poet and his lady played
their parts to perfection The
dignity nobleness and statliness
of manner of court people was
splendidly upheld by Bill Switz-
er and Delta Hughes
William and Betty the hon-
est farmer and his betrothed
were typical and excellent
characters of simple farm life
The sweet disposition of Betty
and ready forgiveness of Wil-
liam as characteristics of
happy farmers were excellently
displayed by Glen Rathbun and
Edith Marshall The musical
talent manifested by these four
was fine
Prince Tobbytum the arro-
gant boastful “man of conse-
quence” was well portrayed by
Aaron Abbot
The characters of the ladies-in-waiting
at the court with
their readiness to accept gos-
sip were well taken by Marie
Elwell and Mabel Halferty The
part of Robin an ignorant
farmer lad was interpreted
very well by Keith Cunningham
The parts of the farm lads
and farmers’ daughters were
well rendered by the remaindei
of the Glee Club who displayed
their ability along musical lines
in the various choruses of the
play
Much of the credit and suc-
cess of the operetta is due to
Mildred Johnson who capably
presided at the piano
A large majority of the cast
are amateurs in the work they
appeared before an audience
for their first time and pro-
duced a well known light oper-
etta exceedingly well and with
an exceptionally clear interpre-
tation In view of these facts
we cannot say too much to the
credit and praise of Mrs Hill
instructor of the Glee Club The
success with which she discip-
lined the students managed
the work and brought out the
talent of each member of the
cast was excellent and is well
deserving of praise and appreciation
after the holidays
The text books for the half
year subjects are about to be
discarded for it is planned to
finish them this week and de-
vote the two remaining weeks
before the examinations to re
view We sincerely hope there
will be no failures
CRIPPLES
Now that football season is
over our “cripples” are fast
iisappearing During the lat-
ter part of the season almost
every man on the team had re-
ceived some injury whether
serious or otherwise Now
however we rarely see one of
the boys limping The opening
of basket ball season may cause
some of them to reappear but
not as many will be “cripples”
as previously
FRESHMEN NOTES
This is certainly a busy week
for the freshmen book reports
and themes due and oh yes
your outside reading for ancient
history We intend to get all
of our work up before Christ-
mas so we can enjoy the holi-
days and think of it! two
whole weeks of reviewing after
Christmas then the finals
We are taking up a new
classic in English “The Man
Without a Country” If you
should happen to see a particu-
lar “Frcshie” walking around
with his face buried in a book
don’t think he has gone crazy
but just studious
SENIOR NOTES
Everybody is busy this week
but will take time to wish all
a merry Christmas and happy

Mbss Dawson: Harold close
that window Now you maj
recite that poem you learned
from Shakespeare
By Harold B:
The room is cold and chilly
Loud moans the wind without
I open up the window
And let the cold air out
Under the greenwood tree
My grades look slim to me
But that is all my fault
I’m sure you’ll all agree
You mark out half my answers
Small-letter-ize each T
Knock off twenty in mechanics
And give me sixty-three
