around again so soon af ter the last season this time of the year is one in which everyone has fun takes a holiday and re laxes but most of us forget the real meaning of christmas while we are merrymaking and stuffing ourselves many families forget what they are really celebrating consequently christmas today is a highly commercialized holiday in which most people spetflt their time loafing and eating the underly ing meaning is really forgotten and it is our own fault there is noth ing wrong with having a genuine merry christmas but dont forget what it really means we should al practice the spirit of christmas throughout the year we would like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone a really merry christmas but remember when your are cele brating what youre celebrating students

the frames of the windows have been installed and the out side work almost completed in mates of fourth form were glad to notice that a new boiler will be installed in the addition and maybe then some heat will seep into the room which has an average temp erature of 65 degrees there are had been the conspirators every thing was quiet and no hands were raised so he had to tlo it the hard way he asked each iboy except one and when everyone denied the charge his eyes travelled to the one remaining boy no words were nee ded for a pair of very red ars gave him away it was decided to have a solemn procession into our room while the culprit with help of one who usually does these things took down the shoes but as the bell went the two boys became thirsty and as our principal went out of twe door crawled up the ladder and thiifj evaded the embarrassing epi sode when we returned to school the next day the two pairs of run ning shoes were down from the cel ling but could not be found it was found out later that the shoes had been put behind the books on the book shelf we all hop that we have as much fun in the new year as we did in the old which reminds me happy new year new olive

so during the holidays we poor souls of middle and upper school will be starting our stud ies about two weeks ago the school saw the picture tale of two cit ies it was very kind of the how ard

continue on into the next week the three a year system of examinations which was asked for was rejected even though milton has a satisfactory three a year system with the ad dition of another teacher there have been more tests on each sub ject regularly which it is hoped will help build up the marks bet ter than last years low editor says thanks to high tales staff thanks to those who help to make a paper not too many people realize how much time and work is done in preparing high tales and so we wrfuld like to say thanks to all those who help us mrarm- strong and his commercial class de serve a big thank you for all the time they spend trying to untangle some reporters writing and for typ ing all material in this newspaper mr j l lambert our principal also deserves thanks for reading

extra long report about every thing that has happened during the year well here goes every thing went along as usual ith the general noise filling the nails of gh until an announce ment was read from a scroll by a page none other than our music teacher which said that the choir had been invited to sing at st john s united church of george town in november then the fun began new songs that we never knew existed were brought out by terry buurley its that tdne- again christmas bringing with ull the cheer that it is noted for christmas has dif ferent meanings wrvarious people along with itsffrbe meaning it means to us the time as come for exams report sheets and holidays to me in particular it means that i have to try to relate to you a summary of the first term thinking back i can recall a cool morning in september and groups of students huddled at every door each in turn telling his adventures and mishaps of the summer holi days a new teacher joins the staff while the classes are still in the mixup stage and fheyhbvent calmed yet time passes and 1 can see the football team being chosen and getting into what they call phape our once green iiuglike campus becomes a big hole in the ground as the foundations for the new addition is being constructed as the periods drag by the deten tions that word sounds familiar get overexercised the football team loses sparky stays the new part of the school goes up and lvs just about time to finish the htdry and there just happens to be a grand windup brewing in mr lamberts office in the shape of re port sheets and no matter which way you spe it it always means ine taid in more ways than one for some of us just the same i am wishing you all a merry christmas and a happy new year i may as well throw ina poem there once was father named

new term making a better paper for all them were thought up by the cul- prits in the alto section no matter how hard we tried everything went off very well at the church and even our choir leader was proud of us after this was over everything again settled down to normal but not for long another invitation had been wangled by our choir master we were to sing at guelph on december 13 1953 this time carols were brought out and the altos found that they could sing soprano if they had to and so we were off to guelph on the bus with strict orders from headquarters about gum chewing we landed safely in the church and service went beautifully until the fireside the triple trio after changing seats about ten times finally got settled and carols were sung then came our big moment up we got into a beautifully straight line lh front of the people only to find that everybody had music but the altos there were three very red faces as we finally secured a sheet of music and began to sing but to add in sult to injury we came to a part in the song where it had been a ritual at practices to giggle believe it or not it was funny and so be ing unable to control ourselves we giggled all through the page we received only a few frowns and as the song ended ran to our seats and b to laugh we found out one thing while we were there and that was that the ladies of the church will serve a beautiful lunch to both gigglers and nongigglers well heres a great big merry christmas from the choir and also a very happy new year grade xii retort merry christmas merry christ mas there we got it in before

the howard wrig glesworth school i think we can safely say from both the staffs and students point of view that all had a good time the highlight of that evening was miss parkinson s piano solo to which all merrily danced the schottische although there wete many complaints con cerning the doughnuts at the time we are happy to say we never heard s of any disastrous after effects so all in all it turned out to be the most successful party in our three years ofour high school days a hearty thanks to the student coun cil for this well organized evening of fun from this you readers must agree that we have had our full share of fun in this past term this week brought an unusual quiet atmos phere to the school this was cau sed by a mysterious visitor who had such influence that grade xis
