CHRISTMAS
Christmas season is here at
last.
All the days of waiting are
past.
The windows with Christ
mas lights are bright.
And snow fell covering the
ground with white.
In almost every house there's
a tree,
Sometimes even two or
three.
Christmas always seems so
cheerful.
With trees, presents, lights
and all.

TO THE TEAM
Will Ashland win in basket
ball?
Why not I gaily ask.
The team is strong, the season
young,
The boys are equal to the task
There's long tall Jack and
dead-eye Al,
Muscles Mark and his red'
headed pal.
With the speeding Swede and
marvelous Mel,
There's not an excuse for not
doing well.
Our slow-spoken coach from
the middle-west
With his quiet subtle humor.
Is turning out as the very best
And the fact that he's good's
not just rumor.
We've a rip roaring team of
which to boast.
So keep It up boys, "we dig
you the most."
by Double Dribble
I think that I shall never see
A girl refuse a meal that's free
A girl whose hungry eyes
aren't cast
Upon a boy that's hurrying
past
A girl who doesn't always wear
A bunch of junk to match her
hair
But girls are loved by fools
like me
For who on earth would kiss a
tree?
A bird in the hand is bad
table manners.

More Letters to Santa
Continued from Page 3 1
Dear Santy,
Hi ya, I am going to get
right down to the point I
want a trampoline. If you
don't get me one,' that's O.K. I
just won't leave any of those
smoked Italian cucumbers
with the fried pickle relish for
you on the diamond coffee
table we don't have. But of
course I'd be satisfied with a
goat because, I hear they eat
cans and boy you should see
my back yard, (wow)
Or better yet, don t bring me
a goat but something to clean
my back yard up so I can have
room for the elephant you
might bring me.
I'm positively, sure, I think
maybe I have been a pretty
good girl. I only socked that
lady in the teeth because she
looked funny and I don't think
it was very nice of her to stick
out her tongue at my favorite
doctor. And I only shoot people
with my B.B. gun that I think
might be mean or have done
something wrong. It doesn't
ally hurt 'em much and only
20 have died. I am really an
gel (usually.)
From a teenager who wishes
she had more B.B.'s (Hint
Hint.)

P. S. If you bring the ele'
phant don't forget the perfume.
Dear Santa Claus:
I'd like a pair of goggles for
my goldfish. She seems to be
having trouble seeing lately.
I'd also like a few new tail
feathers for my bird who lost
hers in a fight with an alley
cat two days ago. She is light
purple with a pink stripe down
what's left of her tail feathers.
Also I'd like a pair of vocal
chords for my canary who is
having trouble singing.

Dear Santa,
For Christmas this year I
would like to have a litle bal
let dancing doll. I want one
that is wearing a blue dress
with matching shoes, and I al
so want it to have a stand so
that I can stand it on my dress
er. I have wanted a doll like
this for a long time but my
mother thinks I'm too old to
play with dolls, but I'm only
14. If I could get this doll for
Christmas I would be very
happy and I would show my
mother that I'm not too old to
play with dolls if I can get

Dear Santa,'
Well here it is Christmas
again. Before I tell you what
I want, I'll tell you where I
live.
I live in Ashland. When you
come from the North Pole,
find Oregon, then Ashland is
easy to find because it has an
awful lot of rain. There are a
bunch of Schells up the street
from my house and a Redbird
has its nest a few blocks away,
but it isn't in the woods ! ! !
Well now you know where I
live. -
Please bring Sharon Alncr
teddy bear with sideburns.
You'll have to kneel to crawl

Who Is Santa!
Who is Santa?" is a ques
tion often asked by small
children around this time of
year. Just what would you
say in answer to this question?
One answer might be that
he is the spirit of Christmas.
He symbolizes the shepherds
and Wise Men who gave gifts
to the Christ Child. No mat
ter what his name, in countries
all over the world "Santa"
brings joy at Christmas time.
In Germany he is called
Kris Kringle and in Holland,
he is called St. Nicholas. There
he places his gifts in the
children's shoes. In Italy, it
is a fairy who distributes the
gifts. Mother Star is the Polish
Santa. Scandinavian child
ren wait at Yuletide for -a San
ta who rides a goat.
Here at home, in the United
States, Santa Claus is the jolly,
old man who drives a sleigh,
pulled by reindeer, through
the sky on Christmas Eve. He
comes down the chimney and
fills the children's stockings
and places brightly wrapped
gifts under the Christmas tree
No, his name doesn t matter.
It is the thought behind the
symbol that counts. The
thought of "giving."
down her chimney 'cause its
small.
And please Santa Claus,
bring me a gold chain to keep
my temper on so I won't lose
it.
Your friend,
Sandy Barriger
P.S. Be careful you don't
get lost in the Gray Alley a
few blocks away.
P.S. Please bring Lynn
Hales a space suit and a record
of "Garden of Eden."
