'. of the Girls League this week as
; an annual project. Responsible for
. the project were Kennie Ruth Carl
I son, Doris Parker, Linda Ham
' mond, and Zola Peterson.
Also adding to the season's
'.meaning is the showcase display
; depicting the manger scene o( the
i first Christmas. Designers of the
; 'Scene were third year art students

; Homecoming dance, formerly
' planned to follow the South Salem
, Eugene basketball game Decern-
bcr 21, was canceled Tuesday by

Why all the silence? The halls
! and classrooms at S.H.A. were un
usually still most of this week. No,
the girls haven't abandoned their
love of talking. The annual student
retreat was held Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. For three days
each year, classes, assignments,
meetings and activities are set
' aside. This gives individuals a
chance to pray, think and take
spiritual inventory. Retreat master
was the Rev, James F. Dillion, as
sistant pastor of St. Mary Magda
lene parish.
Recital Dale Changed
Last week's snow, slush and Icy
roads made rehearsal at the Blind
School impossible for S.H.A. 's
choral groups. So the recital
scheduled for the ninth was trans
ferred to Sunday, December 16.
This time, no matter what the
old barometer reads the show must
go on and parents and friends of
the school are cordially invited to
attend.
Christmas is a time to make
others happy: The students hope
to do just that, through their
Christmas projects. Saturday is the
date set for the Fairview break
fast. Each year, following a special
mass, a group of patients from
Fairview Home are guests at a
breakfast which is complete with
a tree, Santa, and his pack of
presents. The sodality has charge
nf ih hreakfast this year, but the
entire student body is helping to
ibuy gifts and make preparations.
The Gill To Please
Shop at S.H.A. and save. With
' nnlv nine nhnnning davs left till
: Christmas, Sacred Heart's g I f t
! shm is a pretty busy place, sales
i.fHIagers, yal bnrem ar.o
Gruenfelder report that they spe
cialize in religious articles and
have just the gift for that hard-to-please
person on any Christmas
list. The art class has also set
up shop in the main hallway, and
have Christmas cards on sale. The
cards were designed and made at
Marylhurst college. Mary Alice
Wcissbeck and Mary Jo Rohland
are managing these sales.
A number of angelic creatures
will be found polishing their rusty
haloes during the coming week.
Since the spirit of Christmas is
giving, many classes have adopted
"little angels." To do this, each
classmate draws the name of the
girl whose "angel" she'll be, and
then plays the role by secretly
bringing her charge special favors
and little gifts. No "angel's" ident
ity is known till the class's party.
Sodality Officers
Taking office at the beginning
of the next semester will be the
newly elected sodality officers.
Prefect is Elizabeth O'Brien; vice
prefect, Marilyn Schroeder and
secretary, Diana Braulick.
Music lovers are eagerly look
ing forward to a concert Monday,
featuring the Marylhurst glee club.

enson sing with the group. The

The time: 11 o'clock tomorrow night. The change: new telephone numbers for SalemS
The reason: new numbers with prefixes fit your phone into a nationwide plan of
telephone numbers, so that one day you'll be able to dial your own long distance calls.
1. After 11 o'clock tomorrow night the
numbers in your new phone book are
the ones to use. Remember your calls
can't go through if you use the old num
bers. To avoid confusion you'll want to
throw away your old phone book.
2. The new numbers start with a pre
fix: EMpire 2, EMpire 3 or EMpire 4.
When you get the new number from the
new phone book, it's a good idea to jot it
down so you have it in front of you while
you're dialing your calL
3. Dialing the new numbers is simple.
Just remember to dial the first two leU
ters and numeral in the new prefix. To
call EMpire 4-9400, for example, you
first dial the prefix E-M-4 . . . then
9-4-0-0. For g4 serace, sk csreMlgr
