; Oh! My put everybody was out
shopping for Christmas. The strcoisl
were lined up with cars and mobs of
?eople were getting out going in ‘,o;
stores. Some found the drug stores
interesting, some * the department
stores and some the jewelry storex.i
Everybody had a smile on his face |
as he knocked into others with lony
boxes and packages. Many = people

A CHRISTMAS DREAM
By Cornelia Arvaniti
One night T had a queer dream
Of, Christmas which “was soon to an
pear i
And I saw St. Nick and all of his
». - shops
Aznd even his eight reindeer.
I dreamed I went to Santa’s house
Far up in the snow clad lands
“Ahd there in the door cle Santa stood
With a candle aglow in his hand.
Tnside I found Mrs. Santa Claus
She was busy making toys
«And all kinds of funny and beautirul
=~ things
!fl‘pr good little girls and boys
+Santa motioned for me to come to
~ him
He asked if I had been good throuzh
the year ;
T just couldn’t tell him “no”
S 0 I pretended not to hear
oHe told -me he had a list of
LA PETITE Dgpm&; H
EDITED BY THE JOURNALISTIC cLUB OF ;rHE GSPFLE HIGH ‘ ooL
! The geod girls and boys
And my name wasn’t on the list
So I turned and gazed at the toys

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS
CAROLS :
I By Kathryn Vinson
| “Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth, peace and good will toward
men” the first Christmas carol, sung
by the angels of the Lord, Abringin,@:
“good, tidings of great joy, which
l:‘hall be to all people. For unto you‘
is born this day in the city of Da
vid a Savior which is Christ, the
Lord.” How appropriate that the an
gels should anncunce with beautiful)“
song the birth of our Lord! 1
The glcrious song of the angels |
has echoed down throgh the ages,!
RO s LR N ou T 1 DT
!Even in the dark ages during the
: C.hfiiwsgsefisqn'yhrds and wander
!f ing minstrels journeyed from manor
| house 1o manor houge and to the
i courts of Jovial lords singing (carols
n commemarad anuest known carol!
‘of this kind written in"'England in
the old Norman-French language is
found ir an old manuscript of th'e
thirteenth century.
The cld heathen Yule has lent its
coloring to the English Christmas!
and it is largely to this influence‘
that the jovial and purely festival
character of many of the traditional
and best known as well ag the most
ancient Christmas carols is attribut
ed. These songs sung by the bards,
repregented the feelings of the popu-;
lace at large to whom the actual fes- |
tivities of the season weer of morei
interest than the event which theyl
are ostensibly intended to recall. A
large number of ihese ancient songs!
embody various legendary . embalish- |
ments 6f gospel narriitive, with a‘
number. ol apceryphal incidents con- |
nected vith the early years of Christ. |
ThLese are indebted to the myst—c.ry of
plays which were greatly in vng‘uc;
and much frequented at the time
frem which tae carols trace their ('le-i
scent, that is the twelfth and thir
teenth centuries, l‘
The words of a very large numbcri
cf these carols dating from the fif
teenth century downward have beer
proserved and published but the his
tory of their musical character is
lees copious and less easily accessi
ble. It cannot be doubted that the.
siyle of the tunes was that of the;
tallavd music of the period to \vhich;
they belong; a period which extgnds‘
so far as concerns existing melodies
from the fifteenth to the ninetcenth;
century. et L
. In the time of Henry VIH | and
later it was one of the duties &fi;'thoj
choir of the chapel Royal to 'ging
Christmas carols before the kihg. '
An cld manuscriptyealled “Slhiérv’.f
H:;n‘:'?is," written by John Ames, pub-;
lished in 1615 includes two “Ma-i
teets” for Christmas each for sixi
voices. One begins, “O ye f:xithfuli
shepherds” and it is divided intof
three parts. The other which begins
“Lo, how from the heavens like stars
{he angels are flying” is divided into
two parts.
Meanwhile the older and simpler
kind of Christmas carol held it.si
place among the lower orders of so-i
ciety and it reappeared which tha |
move—_laborate and artificial forms
of Chistmas songs never did, \Vheni
the pressure of Puritan ascendancyé
which prevailed during the common-%
wcalth was removed. Both before and “
after that period books of carols for
the Christmas season were printed
with the names of the tunes to which
they were to be sung. These were
in most cases popular airs of secu
lar character. But gradually even
these musical directions disappeared
Curing the eighteenth century the
carol literature was of the humblest
kind. Sheets of words were printed
fer the use of itinerant singers, but’
if the strains tiwhich they weft>
[ be sung were czlx_p{ttcd to papfat
}all, the poss‘q.a‘si%;’bf them st

IN MEMORIAM
By Maxine Land
On the night of the fourteenth,
the soul of our little friend, and
schoolmate, Wilfred Cunningham,
passed into the Great Beyond. He
was just fourteen years of age and
was the youngest child of Mri and
Mrs. Cunningham.
Our school has lost one of its
brightest students, and the ninth
grade cne of its best members. Each
of us has lost a warm f{#iend, for he
was a friend to all, and was beloved
by all. His many fine traits of his
beautifu! christian spirit endeared
him alike to his teacher and school
mates. :
It .is said that the last words of
Charles Frohman, before he went
down on the ill-fated Lusitania were:
-“Why ‘should we fear death?llt is
the most beautiful adventure in
lite?” 2
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
ART IN OUR
EXPRESSION
' And so, Wilfred has only cntered
sinto the most beautiful adventure of
‘ his life. He is not dead—he is only
Ilivinp; a higher, greater life—and
I while we shall miss his happy smile
and friendly words, we realize that
“The un has new glory since he is
v there,
!vThe moonbeams inspire us to praise
| and to prayer,
| For his loyalty shines in every star,
! Guiding us to heaven from afair”
' And so let us look up with renew-,
ed faith as we take up the inspira
i tion of his young life and beautiful
Espirit, that we will' ever shed its
' light around us.
