Not many, how ever, can brag about It. Yet, we be lieve Boardman Is very much Inocu lated with real school spirit. There are several kinds of spirits, such as spirits of camphor, spirits of turpentine, spirits of liquor and spir its of evil. But school spirit beats them all, unless It be the Christmas spirit. These last mentioned are very much akin. Esther Imus of the 8th grade and Edith Richardson of the 7th grade received prizes of 55 cents and 25 cents for sale of the highest number of Christmas seals. The total amount sold by the school was $25. Tuesday afternoon the girls of the 8th grade cooking class entertained their mothers with a Christmas lunch eon. The room was tastefully dec orated with gay colors befitting the holiday season and much praise is due the pupils and teacher who plan ned for the occasion and did their parts so well. Mothers or relatives present were as follows: Mesdames Brown, Beck, Ellis, Ol son, Johnson, Miller, Wilson and Doweese. The 8th grade Agriculture class having studied about weeds and their harmful effect, decided to put some of their knowledge Into practical use one day last week. They armed themselves with rakes, pitchforks and matches and sallied forth to get rid of the weeds In the hedge and along the edge of the lawn. A good be ginning was made and they are plan ning to have more practical lessons in the future. Sometimes the textbook work, al tho essential becomes monotonous, therefore to have a change the 7th grade English class used their letter writing period this week to write real Christmas letters to Corliss and Avis Erwln and Verrel Woodard, former classmates. The 7th and 8th grades are very proud of a new picture they received this week. It Is a picture of Pres. Coolldge having been framed by El don Wilson In his Manual Traln'Ag class. It Is not given for many schools to start a busketball season as did Boardman III and Grade schools last Friday night. Dec. 14. Two teams from the grades and two teams from the high school took first honors with hardly an effort. Four games were played, each being corfRpicuotiB for its one-sldedness in the scores. The light 8th grade team outshone even the high school team in their snappy playing. Roardman was out to win. She had the teams; Bhe had the coach; she had the spirit and backing. All she needed was a gym. Come on Boardman, let's brush away the cobwebs. Give us a gym. The scores: Boardman 8th Grade boya, 6. I'matilla 8th Grade boys, 0. Board man 8th Grade girls, 8.

Christmas is supposed to be the day that Christ was born 1923 years ago. But according to facts this seems to be a historical error. It is often objected that December 25th cannot be the date, for in Pal estine at this time is the rainy sea son of the year and shepherds would not be out with the sheep and would not be able to see the signs in the sky. The spirit of Christmas is far more important than the exactness of its time. The reason for choosing De cember 25 cannot be determined. The desire to displace the orgies of the Roman saturnalia is now used less as a reason. Another strong rea son for December 25 is that a Chris tian feast was used to replace the pagan festival of the Sun in winter when the days began to grow longer. But the real Christmas with its St. Nicholas or Santa Claus, Christmas carols, and giving of presents comes from Germany. As the years passed on, Christmas was celebrated in the civilized parts of the old world with the same spirit, but varying with the customs of the nation.

It is the principal holiday In the United States, Alaska and Porto Rico, as well as in many foreign countries. To the children it means a Christ mas tree and a number of toys. The Christmas Tree Is usually be lieved to have originated in Germany, but in Egypt, long before the Christ mas era, a palm tree which put forth a branch once a month was used as a symbol of the year just finished. The grown people try to make their children and friends happy by giving them parties and presents. In another sense Christmas means the beginning of a happier and more civilized world. In the last 1924 years there has been much more im provement in the world than there was in the previous 1924 years. This shows what a help the Christmas re ligion is. JOKES A. H.
