What Is Chiistmas? :
Although Thanksgiving Day is gone and Christmas time
draws near, I think we all could sit down and give thanks.
vVe all have a lot to be thankful for, and what better time
is there to give thanks than at Christmas?
If we would just stop and think what Christmas means,
I am sure you will each agree, this is truly the time to be
thankful.
What is Christmas ?
Is it’just a time to,get a vacation away from school, a
time to give and receive gifts, or just a time to go out and
have fun? No, Christmas is more than that. It is the birth-
day of our Lord.
This was not meant to be a sermon; we all know the
story of Christmas. But take this time to stop and think, and
to be thankful.
All of our individual circumstances differ, but we all have
much to be thankful for. • We have one thing in common for
which to give thanks—that is our school.
We have a fine new school to attend. It' is convenient to
all of us and has a very reasonable tuition.
We also have some of the finest instructors in the state
of Texas.
Let us be thankful too, that our school is small. I am
sure those of you who have attended larger schools will agree.
In a small school such as.ours there are no crowded class-
rooms. In larger colleges the enrollment in one class alone is
quite often over a hundred.
There are no professional students with whom we must
compete to receive a decent grade. All of us must admit also,
that we can always get individual assistance from any one
of our instructors just by asking. They are always willing
to give special help to students who need it. In larger col-
leges an instructor does not have time to give each of a
thousand or more students individual attention.
Last but not least; we have a friendly school—the stu-
dents, the faculty and the administrative staff.
We are indeed very fortunate.
Speak Up
Are you taking part in class discussions? Are you getting
everything out of your classes that it is possible for you to
get?
The primary reason for your coming to TJC was to fur-
ther your education. Class discussion is a necessary part of
learning. The question you ask in class will help you to
understand the subject of the lecture, and it will help the
teacher to know the things which you do not understand.
After all, if you never ask a question, the teacher will take
it for granted that you understand perfectly, when it may
all be “as clear as mud” to ybii.:
No question is too silly to ask, as long as it is troubling
you and it pertains to the^ subject being discussed. If you
are paying for your education, you should want to get your
money’s worth.
Several teachers have voiced their concern over this
failure in TJC students to take more active part in class
discussions. Association of ideas will help teacher and student
alike. Your teacher likes to know you are interested.'1 Show
him or her that your interest is sincere.
Taking part in class discussions is only one way of show-
ing personal interest in your school. Let’s carry it all the
way, and build a better school spirit. School spirit is intan-
gible pride in your school and what it stands for. Sports build
spirit. Let’s show our spirit by backing the Leopards and
yelling at pep rallies. v
Our school is new, and it is up to us, the student body,
to help build her traditions—a tradition of loyalty!
Holiday . . . And Holy Day
•n Christmas comes but once a year. This statement sounds
silly, but does any one person truly realize what a wonderful
day Christmas Day really is? Only once each year does each
one of us have a chance to proclaim to his friends and rela-
tives how much we appreciate this day; usually we show
our joy by giving and receiving gifts with the ones we love.
Many American people today think of Christmas as only
a holiday and not a holyday as it was meant. All children
COLLEGE PLAYERS’. COSTUME DRIVE: Marian Hieronymus
and Frances Lange hold piles of prospective costumes for future
dramatic presentations; !
think of this day as one when a big, fat man comes .down
the chimney and leaves him or her wonderful gifts, A child’s
eyes light up with the thought of Christmas as one to wish
for because Santa Claus comes then. Most students look
forward to Christmas as a school holiday; and most adults
see the time when they have a day off from work to relax
and be with the children. All of these ideas are fine but don’t
you think that with each year that passes we are leaving
out some small important detail which makes Christinas
actually Christmas.
Christmas is Christ’s birthday which took place some
1900 years ago. We should be more than willing to show how
much that one thing means to us by putting Christ back
into Christmas.
Drama Department
Holds Costume Drive
The College Players held a city-
wide costume drive last week. The
Drama Department, under Mrs.
Caroline Summers, wishes to thank
all of the students who helped
make our drive successful by bring-
ing the old clothes and other arti-
cles which were asked for.
They also want to thank the
citizens of Temple who contributed
to this drive.
The students are reminded that,
although the costume drive is over,
we shall always have a need for
specific items.
If you discover any articles
which you may have overlooked
before, the drama students would
appreciate ypur bringing them. to
school. You may drop them off in
room. 104. . . . ..

for three of the seven.

job to the best of their ability
