Orr A Letter To San,ta Since Christmas is the1 time ,of year when everyone gives each other gilfts, the memberts, of the TIMBER CRUIS- ER Staff have decided it would be nice if someone would be so kind as to send a few ,gifts in our direction this Christmas. We know that it would ibe asking too much if we were to ask anyone at A. c, C. to g,ive us a gift, so we are asking Santa to bring us a few thi111gs. Dear Santa: The staff of the TIMBER CRUISE'R wou1d be happy if you would leave us a few presents this Christmas. The fol- lowing is a list of thing,s we want: 1. More people to buy our glorious TIMBE}R CRUISER. 2. More sound criticisms about the TIMBER CRUISER. 3 . . Articles broU1g'ht in well in advance of publication so as to eliminate the last-mmute rush. 4. More articles of interest to stqdents. 5. More opinions about the TIMBER CRUISER. 6. More student cooperation with the TIMBER CRUISER. 7. An edition to come ofi the press without any errors after being Pro.of-natl about six times. 8.. Last, but certainly not the least, good grades from our Moderator, Mr. Orr. If it would be at all pos!sible for you to leave these little · ' ar Santa, we would b~ very grateful to you. And before you leave us on Christmas Eve, don't forget your c.opy of the .TIMBER CRU_[SER under the Christmass Tree. Consideration For All This article, pertains to you, who have no idea or just a vague idea of how you should conduct yourself at a serio'l,ls dramatic production or musical program. It is considered bad taste and out of Wne to enter a dra- matic production or musical numlber in the middle of the presentation or to leave while it is in prograss. If you must leave, wait until the act, in the oase of a play, or if ilt is a musical, until the number is througih. Talking ~SJ another one of the inacce'PtaJbles ; you go to a play to listen, and if you don't, you should not be there in the first place. Take into consideration your neighbor; he is there to listen, if you are not. The rattling of jaws and the chomping of pop corn are othe:r irritati.n)g habits of those who are infants in thinking as well as in' age. Such conduct is unexcuisable during: dra- matic or musical productions. Of course, we .. should not criticize children when their · parents do not know correct conduct themselives. {!h.,7.,i1-tma1i.

A l-Ioliday Formula For Christmas G ,plus J p1us K equals 'I'CS is the formula thart each of us should kee!P in mdnd during tlJ:J.e coming holidays. "G" stands for giving, which is viltal dmmg •thits season. Eac'h of us wishes to receive only the saitiisfaiction one has ,after giving to others. Giving should be greaiter ,than receiving. "J" means joyifu'lness. This is 1Jhe time of year to be mercy and joyful; a time to ,purt aside gloom and worry, Families and ifdends get togeit!h.er to celerbra.te and rejoice the b'N"th of our Savior. Be friendil~ ,to everyone - to your friends as we'lil as to your enemies. "K" stands for the knowledge of 1:Jhe fdrrst Christmas wihich took place about two ithoU!Sand years ago. The religious services become most beautiful at this time of yea!r. Nativity scenes, b:rd,ghtly decorated, aITTd beawti- ful carols ringing ·througih the crisp, winter air give evecyone a Yu~etide spirit. "TCS" means ,the true Christ- mas s-pirit which each of rms wilJl have if we, give, M'e joyful, and understand the true meaning of the Mass of Christ.
