Seasonal Assembly Sets Mark Solemn Christmas Spirit

Yesterday the second in a series of new assembly ideas was carried out. Students saw the annual Christmas assembly in two one-hour shifts. The assembly was planned by the English department under the leadership of M r . Paxton Smith.

Entertainment included two readings by the Drama Department, under the direction of Mr. E. Milton Scott. An excerpt from "The Gift of the Mag i , " by O'Henry was performed by Paul Faulkenberg and Sandy Blenkner. A play called "Santa Claus" by E. E. Cummings was presented by B i l l Rongstad, Dave Smith, Mary Moaratty, Sue Story, Randy Rutledge, Dan Shovlin and Steve Swenceski.

The chorus directed by Mr . Jack Kunz sang "Caro l of the D r u m , " and "The Searching Caro l . "

M r . Nelson Tandoc led the orchestra in the Overture to The Messiah and an excerpt from "Amahl and the Night V i s i t o r s . "

Randy Rutledge read "Journey of the Mag i , " by T . S. El iot , and the bass ensemble played "March of the Three Kings," by Hector Bizet.

Only through giving can the true spir i t of Christmas be realized. This was the idea that the orches­t ra , the chorus and the drama departments were trying to say to the inquiring student portrayed by Tom Erickson. John Bachelor was the narrator for the assembly.

Meeting Honors Girls of Season

Girls of the seas:• —Thea J 5rer: Kerr.g ini jar. NL-Laa^tta — were honored with a pcerr ar.d a ; :rsage a: the Girls ' Club meeting Friday, December 13.

Selection of these three for spe­cial recognition was made by the G i r l s ' Club charm committee. Girls of the season are chosen on the basis of their activity and co­operation in school clubs and com­mittees.

Presidents and chairmen of clubs and committees choose one g i r l from their organization whom they believe is a worthy candi­date. Then, charm committee members select three or four girls for the honor.

Gir l s ' Club's Christmas pro ­ject to give presents to patients at the State mental hospital in Sedro Wo oley, got underway at the assembly. A l l girls contributed their nickles and dimes toward the special project. A total of $40 was collected.

Students Go West For Mock History

"Westward Expansion" was the theme of a short play performed in M r s . Janet McLean's third per­iod U.S. History class last week.

Under the chairmanship of Mary Jean Peters, the students, decked out in pioneer costumes, read actual life experiences of the early settlers dating back to 1779. Other students in the play included: Becky Beighle, Doug Davies, Judy Erickson, Leslie Garretson, Mike Hardy, Francie Johnston, Jim Perkins and Sherwin Shinn.

Four different periods of early life were recreated, beginningwith "Westward" and concluding with the Fabric ::' Society". Trans­portation and communications dur­ing the period was also described. The drama began as a discussion panel, but the students felt that acting out historical events would teach them more.

American Reader was used as a source of reference.

Trips to California Councils Bring New Ideas to Faculty

Several teachers had short-lived California vacations from Monday, November 25, through Saturday, November 30. M r . Paxton Smith, M r s . A g n e s e C o n n and M i s s M a r y Jane Hawley rep­resented the English department at a convention in San Francisco. Purpose of the convention was to bring together new ideas in teaching, f rom around the country.

Mr . Will iam Ewbank, representing the social studies department, attended a social studies convention at Los Angeles. Most of the speakers emphasized the importance of teaching social studies in a more meaningful way. Controversial issues should be studied on an informed level, not opinionated or prejudiced.

Paperbacks are favored because of the low cost and because the old-style textbooks had pretty pictures, but no content. Despite new-equipment and materials, the responsibility for good teaching s t i l l l ies with the teacher. The key to a progressive social studies program is , Mr . Ewbank stated, "effective and active teacher participation in the formulation of that program."

and yon? " . . . and the l i t t le boy placed his piece of silver be­fore the baby, and the bells were heard over the land and they rang for centuries of men . . . "

The warm story of the Miracle of the Bells is famil iar to us. A small boy, unable to make his of­fering to the Christ Child, sends his brother with a silver coin-a supreme sacrifice for such a poor child. And a trusting, crippled boy named Ahmal laid down his crutch as a gift to the Child. Christ­mas stories f i l l our hearts with belief in these small gifts. Their simple messages remind us that i t is the traditional time of year when men bear gifts

to others; but, more important they te l l us that we should offer a gift to Christ. Some Kings placed jewels before the Babe; other men placed lambs and food and cloaks from their back. And Christ pre­ferred the gifts of meaning . . .

Man can place many gifts before God. He may offer material things to be replaced only by more material things; or he may place love, hard work, faith, a goal, sins repented, kind acts or a year of progress.

hepfer on I whs.... by JohnHepfer

Our school name is being damaged by kids who aren't even attending LWHSI

We would • al l like to think that our school is maintaining a fine reputation with neighboring schools, but the hard truth is to the contrary.

For example, although our outstanding team again won the Kingco football t i t l e , the victory was marred by fights and vandalism which erupted in the school parking lot after the Bellevue game.

Another irresponsible act was the burning of the totem pole at Sammamish High School this year. The blame fell on Lake Washington High School students. But, who was responsible for such vandalism and fights — our students? No I The vandals and "toughs" who have thus brought our school reputation into disrepute are not " s t u ­dents" at al l ; they are individuals who have either been expelled from school or are drop-outs.

Why should these outcasts, who have no leg i ­timate connection with our school, be permitted to mar our football victory and generally tarnish our reputation?

Their sole goal is to create trouble, to foist their own unhappiness and discontent on law-abiding, bona fide students, and to lower the reputation of LWHS.

Some of the students who were attending LWHS last year may remember that some outsiders went so far as to bring a loaded weapon to the " h i l l . " This weapon was displayed with pride and one hood­lum was so impressed with the pistol that he was easiL persuaded to fire i t .

Christmas by any other name....

What can be done to prevent this type of con­duct? Incidents such as the burning of the " L . W . H.S." in Bellevue High School's lawn, bring shame and embarrassment to all of us who did not participate in i t and were totally unaware of such plans

Are we going to sit idly by and say, "Oh wel l , I can't do anything about i t ? " This attitude is somewhat understandable when we see these so-called "students" being permitted to hang around school and attend school functions.

On the other hand, there must be some solu­tion. Perhaps you have some ideas. If so, express them.

Somewhat apart, out not entirely, is the problem of theft and vandalism in our student parking lot.

One student had his tachometer stolen during school hours. Another had his car stolen from the lower parking lot; the car was used the entire day and then returned to the sophomore lot be­fore the end of the school day.

Even if the cars are locked, w i l l immature hood­lums s t i l l vent their resentments by kicking and denting them?

Should we reinforce the parking lot committee? Should passes be issued so only authorized stu­dents and others be allowed on the school grounds during school hours?

Some solution should be reached quickly, before our school becomes a haven for flagrant conduct! Let's act now I

" X - m a s " is pretty common. Every year begin­ning at Thanksgiving, large signs advertising " X -mas"wrapping, " X m a s " trees and " X m a s " decor­ations, can be seen. This shortened, tr i te ver ­

sion of "Chr is tmas" is neither respectful or plea­sant. We don't celebrate a day to honor M r . " X " , we celebrate a day to honor Christ .

11 THAT ALL MAY FIND CHRISTMAS by Kitty Wright

A wet-pavement smell made me aware that i t had been raining. Not a hard rain but a constant, cold drizzle gave the streets a cleaner, almost sterile effect. And the town looked lonely, like I was.

I had a dull sensation that something was missing in this town. The red and green lights of Christmas played with the flashing orange and yellow neons on the now quiet thoroughfare. I had seen this before and would probably see it again, but the f i rs t night Christmas lights go on has always given me a strange unfulf i l led feeling.

Usually the feeling can be fought off with a bottle or a crapgame, and after that it 's just another holiday and blends into the rest in the pattern of a forgotten past. But this year the feeling hurt; i t made me keep walking. I passed the cheap, bargain store, a dark theater; I passed a mi l i tary surplus store and a cut-rate drug store proclaiming Christmas in

loud, silver posters; I stopped. I stopped and looked at the happy face on a plastic

Santa Claus, and the window fogged over as I bent closer to see i t . The more I looked at i t , the more I hurt. The legend of St. Nick came back in a jumbled rush of impressions and memories. St. Nick and a happy Santa Claus and a cold, worthless wino. What a threesome we were . . . two who had come to symbolize faith and love and one who was greed and despair, pity and self-pity.

I looked and I hurt for hours, or was i t years ? The cold, worthless body of an old man had found warmth and value in that plastic face. The fruitless, wasted years were swept away by the inspiration of that thing called faith as we stood there . . . St. Nick and Santa Claus and me . . . and the spir it of a baby born twenty centuries ago.

JIM by Janet Hammond

Have you ever stopped to consider To burn bigger That a simple l i t t le f i re Vividly describes the Christmas

season ? At f i rs t glance, you observe Multi-colored flames Merr i l y bouncing to and fro . Humming and whistling. Glowing and glimmering. Delighted in their work and play. Isn't this a typical family?

Then you discover far back in the f i r e ,

A log Exerting a l l his energy

and brighter than any other.

Suddenly he notices a cold. Lonely bit of wood Unable to make a blaze. The beautiful log forgets himself And reaches out a friendly arm To ignite the helpless one. Isn't this the Christian way? And as the f i re nears its end, The flames die and the coals burn

out. But the ashes remain To kindle another blaze. Isn't this the Christmas spirit ?

Only Amy Knows F o r Sure by Marki Knox

Amy awoke and looked out her window. The light crystals of snow that enveloped the ground and the trees held the pinkish glow of dawn. Amy held her breath and crept from bed. Her feet touched the icy linoleum floor. She squealed and curled up her toes, then proceeded on tiptoe to the door. She listened hard - not a sound. Her heart jumped; had Santa forgotten her? No, she had been so good, he couldn't have forgotten. After a l l , she was the only one in this hospital that believed "' i h im.

Mrs. Higgs and old Miss Crindley in the rooms next to hers didn't believe. Amy doubted i f they ever had. They were always trying to persuade her to give up "such childish fantasies." Oh, well , she didn't care what they said - she knew.

She walked back to her bed with no special effort toward silence. The sooner everyone woke up, the sooner she could open her presents. She picked up Molly, her rag doll , and snuggled her under her chin. Then, with a sudden burst of childish cruelty, she hurled her across the room and watched the doll flop on the window seat. Why wouldn't they wake up? Christmas was no time for sleeping!

Amy went to the window, flopping as possible. She plumped down

Amy had made i t her duty to prove that old Crindy was wrong. Somewhere there must be two alike - i f not, they must get awfully lonely.

Amy started from her day dreaming; someone was coming down the hal l . Her door opened. Doctor Williams and his nurse came in .

She ran out of the room and down the hall to the lobby where the tree stood. Doctor Williams and his nurse followed her.

"Sweet old thing. She was 98 last October and she st i l l believes in Santa Claus."

LET SEASONAL STORIES BE TOLD Past Symbolizes Present

by Janet Hammond Do you ever wonder why we celebrate Christmas with an evergreen

Christmas tree? This famil iar sight is a fa i r ly new symbol with a history of a l i t t l e over 100 years. However, man has always used evergreen in worship. I t is said to have bloomed and borne f ru i t in the Garden of Eden, but its foliage shrank to tiny leaves when Eve plucked its f r u i t . When Christ was born i t is believed to have bloomed again, so the evergreen became a Christmas symbol.

Many such customs are continued long after their true meaning and origin are forgotten. Perhaps other phases of Christmas would have more meaning i f we recalled the significance of some customs and symbols used today.

Madonna and Child with an apple. Mary and infant Jesus form the central symbol of the Incarnation, God taking on human nature and form. The apple symbolizes sin and the fa l l of man, and from Christ came redemption.

Manger. Swaddling clothes symbolized Christ's grave wrappings and humility, and referred to His future suffering. St. Francis of Assisi f i r s t used the Manger with sculptures as a Christmas shrine.

Ox and the ass. For thousands of years they have illustrated the humblest and least of creation recognizing Christ as the Son of God. They also represent labor for mankind.

Magi, or three kings. Properly, Christmas begins at midnight on Christmas Eve and is observed until January 6, at the Feast of the Epiphany, the day when the three Wise Men of the East reached the town of Bethlehem.

The gifts - gold, frankincense, and myrh - are interpreted to show the kingship, divinity, and future suffering of the Christ. Gold is the royal metal, incense is offered in worship services and myrh is a burial spice.

A cold dark manger welcomed my b ir th .

But wise men knew its meaning.

Turmpets did not proclaim me; Only those in the hearts of the

Where was Santer? by Mary Ann Pickering

I can s t i l l remember That long ago December As I waited the remainder Of the time before the reindeer.

I didn't te l l my mother That me and l i tt le brother Were going to hide together And wait for Santa to enter.

We waited just forever Cuddled close together Listening for the pitter patter. The small chimney that would

shatter. We heard the pitter patter But something was the matter The chimney didn't shatter

The kitchen door made a clatter.

I've never felt sadder And never fallen flatter For then I saw my mother Bring In a bike for brother.

Sh-h-h! The silver moon shines

On snow so white, And the world holds its breath;

There's a hush to this night. Far away in a stable small,

A King is born; He ' l l save us a l l .

Story of My Life I had my humble beginning in the sticks, in a small pine cone. I

barely survived the cold winter, but during the summer my terminal buds really grew. As I grew I began to notice the sights and happen­ings around me.

Every once in a while tall creatures invaded my community and stole some of my fellow angiosperms (trees). I never really knew what hap­pened to them — I 'd heard rumors about toothpicks and Kleenex but I could never believe i t . Then one winter those funny looking creatures cut me down. They cut off my food and water supply and I lost conscious­ness.

When I came to, my arms were weighed down with bright-colored balls and silver strings. There were boxes underneath me and a bunch of those creatures standing before me. I certainly wasn't a piece of Kleenex i f I caused this much attention. Then I heard a bunch of noise — " M e r r y Christ ­mas" and I knew I was a Christ­mas tree.

Ski Policy Is Revised

School board members approved a new skiing policy submitted by Principal Walter L . Seabloom, Monday, December 9. The policy acknowledges skiing as a school sport in three ways: the school w i l l provide a faculty advisor for on-campus activities; trophies and awards earned by skiers may be displayed at school; and the club may publicize its activities through school facilities (daily bulletin, paper, annual, etc.)

A l l students in the district w i l l complete as one group and there w i l l be no inter-school competi­tion within the district . Ski Club activities w i l l not be paid for with ASB funds, unless the act­ivities are under complete control of the district schools. The school district w i l l not take the respon­sibil ity of supervision off the school campus.

In the future it is possible that other activities, such as swim­ming, could receive recognition because of the wording of the policy.
