INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
lnterclass basketball ended Wed
nesday evening with a hard fought
game between the two leading teams,
the Seniors and Juniors. The game
started fast and ended fast. Both
teams fought hard to gain the title
of 'Champion" and for their class to
receive the pennant. The upper class
men held the Juniors to a hard game,
at the end of the first half the score
stood 11-10 in the Senior's favor. To
ward the last part of the last half the
Junior boys broke loose and dropped
in seven field goals and two fouls,
which the Seniors could not overcome.
The result was a victory for the Jun
ior Quintet. The final score being
26-18.
Dickson and Asher showed up ex
ceptionally well as forwards. Captain
James and Brandon proved they
could do some very effective guard
ing Bland, the Senior center, got the
tip off on the jump, and showed he
was no slow man on the floor. Ball
also displayed his knowledge of guard
ing. which was very effective.
Steeley McCurray, forwards an
Halstead center, displayed an excel
lent brand of field goal shooting and
fast floor work for the Juniors. Hob!
son was like a brick wall, they could
not get thru his guard. Smith pro
duced some expert guarding and fast
floor work. ,
The game was exciting and
eating and was appreciated by all who
Attention now will be turned to
school basketball. The Tiger squad
will be composed of nearly all lnter
class basketball men. With all the
“pep” and “spirit*’ that was shown in
the interclass games, surely as much
and more will be shown on the Tiger
squad. The line-up of the teams that

A CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO
(By Estella Mann)
It hardly seems possible that In a
country so close as Mexico is to ours,
where Christmas is a day of peace on
earth good will to men. Christmas and
Santa Claus are scarcely known, ex
cept where the Americans bring the
tidings of good will and happiness to
the little children.
In this beautiful wild country the
mistletoe, holly and spruce trees grow
wild, but their use for the famous day
Is unknown.
In the one little Catholic church,
the only one of any denomination n
a town of twenty-five thousand people
rather around the scantily trimmed
tree on Christmas morning the dozens
of little children dressed in the only
new clothes of the entire year. Here
thev wait eagerly the arrival of Santa
Claus with their simple gifts of dolls
from four to six inches long, rubber
balls, and instead of the bags of candy
and nuts so common with us they re
ceive long sticks of cane cal.ed Dulc
All these are furnished by the kind
hearted Amreican men and women or
the town. . M
The children admire the tree as
much as the boys and girls in this
country do their beautifully trimmed
and lighted trees.
As they chatter merrily your hear
strange stories of how Santa Claus
comes riding on a donkey driving
others with large packs on hacks, or
of this jolly fat fellow bouncing along
on horse back with packs tied on be
hind him. They even tell of him walk
ing along the cold wind swept trails
with his pack over his shoulder.
In this country they talk of Santa
Claus for weeks and seem almost to
worship him. No greater calamity
could be thought of than that heplight
not return next year.

! THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IN
AMERICA.
(John McCartney.)
The Christmas season Is the hap
piest season of the year. For several
1 weeks before, people look forward
with pleasure to Christmas. The
children wonder what they will get.
1 and thinking of the things they
• would like and may get, show a very
V ange ic disposition at this time. The
• wood box is always well filled and
-the children never “sass” for fear
l that Santa" Claus might hear.
, This is a very busy time for the
. housewife. She is making mince
- meat, fruitcake and all sorts of good
; things for the Christmas dinner at
which there is usually company. She
also finds time to do a good deal of
, Christmas shopping, and the house is
soon full of mysterious bundles which
you are not supposed to see.
The house is soon decorated with
everygreen wreath and bells. Then
coni2S the work of setting up the
Christmas.tree. This is a very del
icate job, as everybody has the best
idea of how to decorate it. Finally
it is hung with candles and all kinds
of decorations. Then the candles
are lighted, the tree is a beautiful
sight, which young and old alike en
joy.
Then on Christmas eve. after the
children have been told a
the King whose birthday they are
celebrating, and each has seen that the
fire is out, and that the chimney is
open, each hangs up the biggest
stocking that he can find and then
goes to bed. The children go to bed,
but find it hard to go to sleep. After ;
dreams of Santa Claus, they wake and
find that Christmas is here. Then
there is a wild rush toward the stock
ings. Each child finds what he
wanted. Willie is found seeing how
Jimmy’s candy would fee! between
his teeth. Tommy is trying his new
knife on the furniture. Relatives
and friends soon begin to arrive, and
there is a great exchange of gifts.
Everybody is happy,’ even although
some one finds that he has received
a pair of No. 12 slippers, and he only
wears an 8. And some one else has
gotten a red necktie which does not
go well with his red hair. Then
comes the real business of the day.
which Is eating the Christmas dinner.
After old and young gather in the par
lor and enjoy a reunion and good
time, all too soon is the day over and
everyone goes home well pleased
with Christmas.
CHRISTMAS.
‘‘Oh, dear! Christmas is almost
here and I haven’t a gift for Helen,
and I know* she will be sure to give
me something.” This is the way
most people greet the coming Df
Christmas. They think It is a time
for the giving of gifts only to those
who they are sure, will give them
something.
This is entirely a wrong idea of the
spirit of Christmas. Christmas
should be a time of great rejoicing
and not a time when one should be
only thinking of what some one else
is going to give him.
When Christ was born in the man
ger at Bethlehem, the wise men came
and brought their gifts to the small
babe. Did they expect anything in
return, and did Christ only give gifts
1 to those who gave to Him? Did
Christ reject the snvall gifts? No!
He thought more about the spirit in
which the gift was given than He
did about the value of the gift. This
is the way we should feel in the giv
ing of our gifts.

“JIMMY'S BOAT."
(By Theodore Wade.)
James T. Collins, Jr., had been
waiting for Christmas since Thanks
giving. Mr. Curtis, his father, find
ing it necessary, after long exertion,
to spend several months at sea level,
decided to take Jimmy and his mother
with him, and go to Honolulu. So
he arranged for passage on the great
ship, “Chang Hi.” The boat sailed
from San Francisco on December 23.
This fact was greatly resented by
jimmy until he was told that Santa
1 Claus could go to a boat as well as
any where else.
At about the first first of December
he had written Santa Cldus his usual
letter, but this time he wanted espe
cially a boat, and one that would run
in the water, and not just on the floor,
as did the boat of his next door
neighbor, George Thornton. The
more he thought about it the more \
he felt that he ‘really needed” a 1
boat to have any pleasure from life ;
at all.
On the long trip to the coast he
talked of his first boat as much as
anything. It ought to be a black j
and white boat with a red smoke-j
stack. When they boarded the ferry j
to cross San Francisco may. he was!
very much fascinated by the large tilt 1
beams which pumped up and down ,
like a see-saw. turning the great pad
dle wheels which drove the other 1
ferry boats across the harbor. Ar
riving as they did about sunset, the
wind was cold and blew into their I
faces until they went and stood be- j
hind a kind of a big wall or wind- j
i shield made of panes of glass.
Two days later they boarded the
schip ‘Chang Hi,” for Honolulu. Lit-1
tie Jimmy had not been allowed to eat |
any sweets or too much of anythink .
for several days to prevent his being ,
seasick, if possible.
That night a storm came upon j
them and drove their vessel from its
course. The ship that night tossed '
and rocked violently The storm be-1
gan to subside with the coming of
dawn, but it did not clear up. There
was a fog over things. At about 3
or 4 o’clock In the afternoon every
one on board was frightened by an
awful grinding and sudden shock.
The ship had struck sand it was soon
learned. The S. O. S. was answered
by a ship about 40 miles distant. The
wireless operator of the “Chang Hi.”
after giving his exact location, stated
that the ship was beating itself to
pieces on the sands, unable to pu!l,
because of the force with which they
had struck.
The fog began to lift about the time
he ship struck the bottom. The peo
ple forgot their games and the Christ
mas decoration. Everyone was anx
ious. There was no supper that
night, for it would not have been
touched if there had been.
Fina'ly the captain ordered the
•eople into the lifeboats, but hardly
dared to lower them into the beating
surf lest they should be dashed to
pieces. „
Jimmy asked his mother if she
thought Santa Claus would forget to
come and bring his boat. She replied
she hoped not, and hugged him tight,
as they packed In the lifeboat with
many others, the most of whom were
quite gloomy.
Suddenly a shout of joy was heard.
The lights of the ship could be seen.
Jimmy looked up and shouted: “Oh.
mamma, there is Santa Claus with
my boat.”
And now when Jimmy thinks of
Christmas he thinks of more than you
think of.
MANUAL TRAINING
The exhibit of the Manual Train
ing Department on December 17 and

ter will be devoted to the making of
mechanical drawing and studying blue
prints. Each Individual will also re-j

JUNIOR CLA88 NOTES
Basketball
(By Esther Konkel)
Hurrah! 'or the Juniors! The Inter
class basket-ball championship is
ours! Last Monday we played the
Sophs. They did some fine work, but
the Juniors did some finer work. The
game ended with a score of 16 to 1 in
our favor Wednesday was the last
game of the tournament and this was
a contest between the Seniors and
Juniors. It wan a hard battle and at '
the end of the first half the Seniors
were one point ahead of us. But after
some excellent team work and* some
spectacular goal shooting we won the
game with a score of 26 to 18. Fine
work. boys. we. appreciate it.
Volley Ball
The Junior girls showed that they
could do fine work too. by winning the
; girls’ Interclass Volley Ball Tourna
fment. Basket ball is coming on soon,
and Just watch the Junior Girls!
But where were the rooters? Where
were the “alwayg loyal” Juniors?
Nearly one whole side was filled
with Seniors who were there to root
for their team. But the Juni rs were
I a minus quantity. Of course, there
; vrre n few stragglers. There always
are. but the number of Juniors out to
see the game looked mighty small
beside the Seniors.
The same thing happened at the
i girl’s valley ball game. Most of the
! Junior girls were there, hut where
were the boys?
Nevertheless, wo won both times
and that’s all that really matters, only
in the future we hope the Juniors will
he out In full force.
GIRLS VOLLEY BALL
The girls held some exciting games
of class Volley Ball Tuesday even
ing. They held an elimination con
test to decide the two teams that
were to play for first position. The
elimination and finals were as follows:
Juniors defeat Sophomores; Seniors
defeat t(je Freshmen. In the final
game which was to decide the char*
pions, the Junior team trimmed th
Senior delegation by a score of 21-lb
The Junior victory is due to fast play
Ing, head work and team work. Both
teams displayed signs of life and
“pep.” Each team had support as the
seats on the side lines were well fill
ed with “rooters."

THE AMICITIAN LEAGUE.
(Roas Middlemias.)
Two new members. Ralph Sullivan
and John Emmerson. . were Initiated
into the league last Tuesday. On ac
count of bad weather the outside in
itiation that had been planned, was
dropped and the Initiation was con
fined to a few inside stunts. Charles
McDonough was unable to come on
account of basketball practice. Carl
Menzel was voted into the league and
will be initiated at the next meeting.
The program consisted of a short
talk >y each of the new members,
and a debate on the question: Re
solved. That Canon City should
build a new high school rather than
make additions to the old one."
The arguments of the affirmative,
composed of Carl Funderburk and
Kirk Jameson, yere based on public
demand and necessity for a new high
school and the impracticability of re
pairing the old one.
The negative composed of Ross
Middlemias and Francis ..*orriaon.
made their points on the great cost
of a new building, lack of a suitable
building site and adversity of condi
tions in Canon City to the undertak
ing.
Although the affirmative put up a
good fight the Judge decided In favor
of the negative.
On account of Christmas vacation,
the next meeting will not be held un
til the first Tuesday in January’
Although most of the Freshmen are
planning on enjoying the Christmas
holidays in a idlng down bill, snow
