clubs fight basket for basket for
the first half, only to have the
locals open up with a fast-break
attack in the third period toj
build up an 11 point lead. With
a reserve lineup ready to pick
up experience, the Wyoming boys!
reversed the story scoring 1 "
points in the last quarter to pro
vide an anxious few minutes as
the game ended with the Laurel
club ahead by a single free throw,
49 to 48. Bill Sorg led the at
tack for Laurel with 17 points
while Don Harkins showed the
way for Worlar.d with 14.
In a preliminary the Bobcats
nosed out the Gophers, 15 to 16,
in a regular intramural contest
ming club 49 to 48 and 44 to
40, and sandwiched a 45 to 37
score over Bozeman as they got
,. x ^ .
off to a flying start m the bas
ketball race for honors this year.
Thursday night saw the two
that kept the early fans morej
than entertained.
Friday the Bozeman B team
had too much height, and al
though they lacked the spirit of
the local B team they ended on
the long end of a 44 to 27 count.
The Laurel team scored on
even terms in the second and
third periods, but couldn't find
the basket in the rest of the
game, while the Bozeman club
could, and that told the story.
The varsity crews from the
two schools saw the edge go to
Laurel for both height and fight,
and were it not for the liberal
use of reserves the score could
have been quite one-sided. After
taking a 22 to 8 lead, the game
slowed down and by the end of
the third quarter only two points
separated the teams.

concerns the Christmas rose. While
en route to Bethlehem the Wise Men
crossed the path of a little shep
herdess named Madelon. Enrap
tured at the wondrous tale about
the birth of Christ which they re
lated, she was heartbroken because
she had no gift to offer.
While she was crying she detected
a sweet-smelling aroma and looked
up. Standing next to her was an
angel who inquired the reason for
her sadness. Madelon explained that
while she wanted to pay homage
to the newly-bom Babe, she didn't
even have a single, beautiful flower
such as grew in the fields in the
summer to give Him. The angel
waved her arm and a stunning bunch
of gorgeous, snowy white Christmas
roses appeared.
Madelon gathered her precious
gift in her arms and hurried off to
Bethlehem where the Wise Men had
gone. After the Wise Men's offerings
of gold, frankincense and myrrh,
she humbly preferred her flowers to
the tiny Infant, who stretched out
a hand to touch the roses. His
fingers lightly brushed the immacu
late petals and immediately they
changed to a delicate pink.

Thank the early American Puri
tan pioneers for your Christmas
turkey and cranberries. It was
they who discovered what could
be done to nice, fat turkey and
cranberries to make a delicious
December 25th feast. Since then
turkey and cranberries have been
the basis of the American Christ
mas dinner. Santa Claus, holly,
mistletoe and the custom of
giving gifts were also brought
from the Puritan homeland.

their recent Introduction. In the
beginning of the last century the
poinsettia was introduced by J. R.
Poinsett, an American politician and
diplomat.
For years evergreens have flour
ished in homes at Christmastide to
create a woodsy, outdoor atmos
phere. In the aged line "hang up the
holly, the box and the bay" it is
significant to note that two of the
plants mentioned, box and bay, are
mentioned in Holy Scriptures as
thriving on the mountains of Le
banon in the Holy Land.
Because of its symmetrical leaves,
bay has been used for design
throughout the ages. The Greeks
used it on their coins and the Ro
mans, too, favored it as a beautiful
show piece. Today bay shrubbery
graces the entrances to many Amer
ican homes at yuletide.
Cedar, which furnishes greens for
Christmas, likewise existed in Le
banon. The people of Lebanon re
!
m I
garded cedar as a symbol of endur
ance, strength, life and eternity.
Recognized by its characteristic,
pleasant aroma, cedar also was an
emblem of because its
mastide, which is out of its regu
lar season.
tops were frequently covered with
snow during a large part of the year.
An old-time favorite of sailors
who visited Mediterranean ports was
Rosemary because of the aromatic
perfume the plant yielded. Familiar
to most Americans as a straggling
hedge plant, Rosemary droops in
massive festoons 12 feet long in its
native Italy.
Legend has it that the flowers were
colorless until the Blessed Virgin,
during the flight into Egypt, hung
the clothes of Jesus on Rosemary
bushes to dry. Thereafter, Rose
mary bushes blossomed forth with
their sparkling blue flowers.
The Hawthorn bush with its white
or red flowers originally was the
May tree of the Old World. Pecu
liarly, the bush never blooms in
May, According to historians, Jos
eph of Arimathea went to England
and on the completion of his pil
grimage at the Abbey of Glaston
bury he pushed his staff into the
ground where it burst forth leaves
and flowers. Since then the Haw
thorn bush always flowers at Christ
