1! ! High School News Notes By BARBARA ROACH Report cards were issued Fri day, and the average honor roll point sum was lowered. With over 100 students making honor ratings, John Reeder, Merideth Foote, Nancy McKewon, Doro thy Rhymes and Don Robinson were first to be reported with highest point averages. Maybe the lower grades on "junior's" report card was caused by work on too many Christ mas projects and programs. Art students John Strow- bridge, Ron Wisdom, Lorit ta Jen nings, Carl Gordon, Carole Bal lard, and Bet ty Jamie son busied themselves last week in making a Christmas display in the front hall. Santa, with a fluffy beard and surrounded by colored snow flakes, decorates the show case while a huge red and white poster display "On earth . . . peace . . . goodwill to men."

Easier to Make Now Los Angeies (U.P3 Today's version of the holiday fruit cake is just as tasty as the old-time product, but not nearly so back breaking to make. - Fruit cakes are English in origin and are "a lot of Iruit, a little cake." The original, recipes called for raisins, currants, orange peel, candied pineapple, citron, and three or four kinds of nuts by the pound. These meant several hours of chopping and mixing. Now, the raisins, dates, cur rants, almonds,, walnuts and other additions come chopped, and in some cases already mixed. One company has added the flour and other ingredients so that all the homemaker need do is add liquid and bake. To keep the cakes moist if they are to be held for several days or weeks before serving, the California Foods Research Institute suggests - they be "basted" with sherry or brandy from time to time. The cakes should be stored in a covered jar or dish. Modern cooks have found that texture and flavor are better if the cakes are smaller the one to three-pound size. To serve, slice them thin. Fruit cake is delicious with cheese and coffee; vith afternoon tea or hot chocolate. ipMPftp Sunday, Dtetmbcr 19, 1854 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE mm CARRYING SEAL of Chief Executive on front, this is Christina card being sent to friends by President and Mrs. Eisenhower. Inside it reads: "The President and Mrs. Eisenhower extend their best wishes for Christmas and the New Year." (InUrnatiowdi " National Hairdressers Announce Long List of New Hair Shades Fozen Peaches Keep ' Well for Entire Year Carbondale, 111. (U.R) Home-canned peaches in glass jars lining storage shelves may become a thing of the past as a result of experiments with froz en peaches at Southern Illinois university. During the 1953' peach harvest season in this area, Mrs. Mary Barnes and her home economics students packed fully-ripe Hale Haven peaches in plastic bags and froze them. A year later the students put them through cooking tests. They found the frozen peach es peeled easily when dipped in water. The still-frozen fruit was sliced and used in pies, pud ding and for stewing. All of the dishes made with the frozen peaches had a good, fresh-fruit flavor, Mrs. Barnes said. PENCIL "ERASES" PITS New York U.R) Here's a good trick for pitting canned sweet cherries. Use a lead pencil, with the eraser removed. Push the metal piece through the top of the cherry, the edge makes a clean cut, and the seed pops out the other end. Try stuffing the pitted cherries with cream cheese for a tasty addition to a fruit salad. New York 4U.R) Hair color ing has come a long way since tne first woman dared to use a henna rinse. Now, her crowning glory has taken on the colors of something to eat or drink. The National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists is out with a long list of new shades some bold, some subtle, but all a far crv from nature. Start with one of the bolder colors called iced lime. It's pale green, reminiscent of a soda fountain concoction. It is recom mended only for the self-assured woman who has both time and money to spend on upkeep, ac cording to Miss Bernice Corbet, a Kansas City, Mo., beautician and member of the association's hair fashion committee. Miss Corbet, who at the time of this interview, wore pale blonde, also mentioned a new shade called pink champagne. This looks like the bubbly beverage, and also about the same shade as the pink cotton candy you buy at carnivals. This, too, is suggested only for the woman with daring. f "The new colors have more depth and tone," Miss Corbet said. "So do the new fashion colors ... so the days of the pale and wan blonde are gone. The beiges and golden tones are back." Among the gold tones is one called golden apricot. More along .the lines of burnished orange is another shade called mango, and the shade of the ripe fruit. Still in the edible class is eggplant, a deep hue for the woman who's bored with plain black and brown locks but doesn't want to bleach. The association didn't get all the new colors from the fruit and vegetable world. Some were Inspired by jewelry star sa phire, ' topaz, amethyst, and smoldering oriental ruby. This last tone is deeper than auburn, but minus any, trace of orange seen in some of the red shades. There are two colors left for the woman who insists on soft color moonlight mist, a gray blue shade, and orchid mist, which leans to the lavender. Incidentally, the hairdressers have their own variation of Dior's "flat look," They are pushing the "plateau look" in new coiffures hair arranged with height and bulk at the temple, but flat as a mesa across the top of the head. FROZEN PANCAKE DESSERT New York (U.R) Here's a "freezer dessert" good to have on hand when unexpected com pany comes. Use your favorite pancake mix to make a batch of paper-thin cakes.
