The girls have been co-operating in the heat and light saving pro gram. When they leave for school each morning, every radiator and light is turned off. The girls of Winona enjoyed the Senior Christmas program which consisted of a Christmas eve play, singing and a poem read by Anna Mae Sharp called "The Soldier in Korea Version of the Night Before Christmas." Eleanor Foster was in charge of the program and did the announcing. After the program, treats and gifts were distributed and Santa Claus visited us. Over the Christmas holiday Viola and Violet Lane and Delma Gird were visitors. It is always nice to see former students again. Winona hall girls are grateful to Miss Challis for the pretty card and money she sent us for our Christmas present. We got a new picture and a lamp for the living room with the money and they are so pretty that all the girls are enjoying them. Mrs. Lane has returned to the boys building. We surely enjoyed her stay with us and hope that she can come again. Mary Lane in charge and Mable Bedoni are competing for this month's Unit award—may the best unit win!
