TIE Christmas Spectrum which was
circulated Tuesday is credited with
being- of the best ever published. The
staff worked especially hard on the is
sue as every Jefferson "Sammy" will
receive one as a Christmas present
along- with the boxes prepared by the
club girls. This means that it will be
circulated la various places In the
United States, Canada, England and
France. Stories, poems, .. editorials,
humor and Jokes all contributed to the
success of this issue. .One of the best
pofms was by Emily Perry, entitled.
"While Angles' Choires Sing," and Is as
xc-llows:
As shepherds watch their flocks at
night.
Before the hours of morn.
In a stable outside Bethlehem
The infant Christ is born.
The shepherd sits upon the hill
And songs of angles hear,
While in the crystal sky above
A sudden star appears.
Across the silent desert sands
Are journeying wise men three
As far up in the Eastern sky
The guiding star they see.
Then to the manger all are led,
The shepherd and the king; .
iand to their Lord's they homage give.
While angles choir sings.

A SERIES of stereopticon views, con
sisting . of most unusual scenes
from Yellowstone National Park, Crater
Lake and Mount Hood, were shown at
an open meeting of the Agassiz Club
on Tuesday. Mr. Thomasbn. the faculty
adviser of the organization, furnished
the views and Mount Hood and Crater
Lake lectures, while the- slides and de
scriptions . of . Yellowstone National
Park were obtained from the Northern
Pacific Railway Company. The first
picture was one of Louis Agassiz the
noted Swiss-American naturalist, after
whom the club was named, and the
brief Introductory talk by Alice Gil
strap Illustrated the world-wide scope
of his recognition. The purpose of the
school organization . was outlined and
a few of the most interesting pro
grammes mentioned. Gwenyth Young,
Eleanor Thomas and Edward Root read
in a most pleasing manner the lecture
which accompanied the Mount Hood
and Crater Lake views, and L. H.
Strong, of the faculty, read the lecture
on Yellowstone National Park. During
the progress of the Mount Hood slides
the audience was very much amused to
learn that the two men at the top of
the mountain posing in the cold wind
for a picture were F. M. Groshong and
C. C. Thomason, of the James John
faculty.'

story was a scene from the Odyssey.
Louis Dunsmore was the Odyssey and
Gertrude Hansen the witch, while Clar
ence Gllstrap and Loyal Holmes were
other characters lost on the island
Owing to the absence of several mem
bers who were to participate In the
other numbers on the programme, Mer
ritt Whitmore and John Wulf pre
sented a humorous conversational num
ber. At this meeting the vocabulary
champions were determined as follows:
Hazel Greene and Alice Gllstrap tied

and Ruth Reece received second and
third places, respectively.

"Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful," and "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing," were sung
and enjoyed by the student body.
