The editorial staff of the Utellum

greetings of the season. To the
school student body and teachers we
extend our thanks for your loyal and
helpful support. May the joys and
pleasures of a merry ChrlBtmas and a

School will close Friday, Dec. 21st,
for the holidays and open Wednes

School spirit is something devoutly
to be wished for. People think, write
and talk about It. 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.
Umatilla 8th Grade girls, 0.
Boardman HI girls, 12.

Umatilla Hi boys, 11.
'Tale' MkIiU of the Game
Did you see the basketball games
last Friday night?
Well, you missed a sight.
Indeed 'twas quite a show
Down at the Garage gymnasio.
To put Umatilla's giants to rout.
KKIon fluttered around the hall
like a butterfly over a cabbage
patch. Rather interfered with the
giants' playing, didn't you think?
Buster Rand manbged to land.
Nool Kllti gave them fits.
Klages, Ed, kept his hed.
So everybody sed.
Russell, Russell, made 'cm tassel
Kenny, Kenny, gave 'em plenty.
Eighth grade girls were also there;
Of victory they got their share.
The high school girls were on t'ae
floor
And they rolled up a bigger score.
The high school boys- -
And 'tis no Jest
Were put to quite a test,
But with fighting spirit
That will not die
Their name Is v-I-c-t-o-r-y.
And this Is the tale of the teams.

Christinas
By Alton Klitz, Senior.
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.

Christmas
By Katherine Brown, Sophomore.
Christmas is a day when everyone
should be happy. 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.
