Christmas Spirit
Thousands of words have been
written about Christmas Spirit, but
a printed page will never be able
to give, no matter how eloquently
done, an adequate portrayal of this
intangible something that seems to
encircle the world with a golden
band of friendship and good will to
wards fellowmen and that over
powers the petty jealousies, the sel
fish interests, and the puny grasp-
ings with which mortals complicate
their lives.
This beautiful spirit still exists
because a certain star that shown
over a manger in a Judean hamlet
once long ago has gleamed steadily
through the ages over the rise and
fall of mighty empires, shedding its
warmth on great and small alike,'
with no respect for imperial pomp
or conquering sword.
For this doctrine, founded in love
and unselfishness, has no heed of
might or power to perpetuate it in
history. Atheist and unbelievers,
alike, bow to the magic power of
this Spirit emanating from the in
finite at Christmas time. It seems
to shove into the background and
lighten the cares and worries that
beset the world; and, suddenly, dic
tators, and war, and disaster, and
oppression are forgotten as all Chris
tendom pauses in the pursuit of
gain and dedicates itself to know
that giving is more blessed than
receiving.
And so again comes "round the
time foretold" to a modern world
of upheaval and complexity, but the
Christmas story remains as beauti
ful and as untarnished by the wash
of time as it was when the shep
herds first heard the singing of an
gels on the plain of Bethlehem. It
is this persistent return each year
of man's thoughts to the events sur
rounding the lowly birth of a Galil
ean which promises that no dark
ness or uncertainty can snuff the
light of Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Student Body Has Speaker
Edgar Spickerman from The Dal
les spoke on FFA before the student
body last Friday. Mr. Spickerman
is fourth vice-president of national
Future Farmers association. The
purpose of his talk was to explain
FFA organizations and benefits.
Following the speech a student
body meeting decided that students
draw names for Christmas.
A white elephant sale will be giv
en to raise money for the local char
ity organization.
A committee will be appointed to
investigate the possibility of making
changes in the school organization.
Several suggestions were given by
the delegates who attended the stu
dent body convention at La Grande.
Leland Edmondson was appointed
chairman of the advertising com
mittee, formerly headed by Bud
Blakely, who recently resigned.
An assembly will be held this
Friday at which the Pep club will
present a program.
Do You Want an Operetta?
Do you want an operetta? This
question is raised as a result of the
financial outcome of the operetta,
And It Rained." presented last Fri
day. Last year's receiDts amounted
to more than $100 as compared to
this year's bare $50. This year's
expenses amounted to $49. What's
wrong? The production group and
student body is essentially the same
as last year. Last year there were
almost twice as many pre-produc
tion sales as this year's entire re
ceipts.
Last year the junior class sold $40
worth of tickets alone.
Does this school want an operetta?
It seems hardly right that two mon
ths should be expended in the pro
duction with not enough coopera
tion from the high school students
to fully pay for those efforts.
Coach 111
As Coach Knox Is ill, the basket
ball team is being coached bv Mr.
Blankenship with the aid of Mr.
Bennett and Mr. McKenzie.
Hugh Crawford, a junior, was
last week chosen captain of the
basketball team for the remainder
of this year and for 1940.
OSC Prepares Another
Men's Co-Op House
Oregon State College. More low
cost housing facilities for men will
be available for the winter term,
starting January 3, as a result of
the remodeling of the old infirmary
building for use as a men's coopera
tive house. This large structure has
not been used by the college since
the completion of the new health
service building.
The plan is to have a building
which will house about 30 boys who
will share the work . of operating
the house and in this way obtain
board and room at a cost not to ex
ceed $20 a month.

OPERETTA
The operetta was a great success,
even though very little money was
taken in. The dances went off
smoothly; the, acting was good.
The make-up artists deserve a
round of applause for the appear
ance of the characters on the stage.
Bud Blakely's sun tan was especial
ly realistic.
