from Mrs. Ophelia Mitchel and Mrs.
Lillian Mann, both delicious testing,

ask for more. This dinner was serv-
ed buffet style, in the table’s center
was a small white celophane Xmas
tree with red and gold balls, on
either side of the tree stood tall
white candles. The table was cover-

SCHOOL NOTES
In keeping with the times they
are being encouraged to observe
Christmas in a more conservative
manner. The deeper and truer
meaning and spirit of the season is
being emphasized. The thought of
helping others less fortunate was
shown by the children’s fine con-
tribution to Tuberculosis Seal Drive
recently ended. The children are
going a step further in foregoing
unnecessary toys and gifts and turn-
ing these funds into war stamps
which- help our country now and
There’s a tumult of Joy! Over the wonderful birth!
For the Virgin’s sweet boy is the Lord of the Earth
Ay! The star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the Manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
In the light of that Star! Lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar has swept over the world
Every hearth is aflame and the beautiful Sing,
In the homes of the nation that Jesus is King!
We rejoice in the Light! And we echo the Song!
That comes down thro’ the night from the heavenly throng
Ay! we shout to the lovely Evangel they bring
And we greet in his Cradle Our Savior and King!
This song set to music by Josiah G. Holland and Karl P. Harrington
xpresses Christmas in its entirety.
Mrs. French F. Stone, Jr., and her two lovely children, too, rever-
ence the spirit of Christmas, and believe wholeheartedly in Peace on
earth, good will toward men, and the blessings of democracy with love
for fellowmen and every man’s equality will descend upon us.
Mrs. Ann McIntosh Stone, native of Chattanooga, Tenn., and gradu-
ate of Fisk University, is the wife of French F. Stone, Jr., local mail-
carrier. Her daughters, pictured with her, are Rosemary and Ellena. She
is a member of the Congregational Church.
SEWING FOR THE NEEDY

been turned into a sewing room for

ted later to needy families. Mrs.

Bright Future Seen
For Beauty Students
The reward will be a rich one
to those who take up the study of
beauty culture course offered by
the Franklin School of Beauty Cul-
ture at Houston. Because of gov-
ernment intervention in vocational
education in the very near future
there will be a great demand for
well trained beauty operators.
Due to the known shortage of
beauty operators, the keen-sighted
management of the Franklin School
of Beauty is offering courses at
special reduced rates to those who
enroll during the holiday season be-
ginning December 26 through Janu-
ary 15.
Graduates will be backed by a
security that they will be given a
position upon completion of the
course offered.
The Franklin Beauty School has
training from many outstanding au-
thorities on beauty culture. The
course will include many important
lectures by manufacturers’ demon-
strators from time to time.
Mr. J. H. Jemison, congenial gen-
eral manager, says that "The Frank-
lin School of Beauty Culture enjoys
the best of prestige, and is rated a
foremost “A” in curriculum, and
has a number one financial status."
There are no specific qualifica-
tions required to enter the beauty
school class other than a desire to
learn.
Beginners who will apply them-
selves to the study of the course
will enjoy the opportunity of learn-
ing a vocation for which the de-
mand has been greatly increased.

vating the habit of thrift and econ-
omy where it does the most good
to all concerned.
This year the children of Black-
shear are making most of their
Christmas Greetings for parents and
friends in their Art classes. They
are making cards and gifts of their
own creation to give to others.
The upper class of girls of Black-
shear have been organized into a
Girl .Reserve club under the spon-
sorship of Mrs. Perdita B. Jones.
On Saturday these girls, chaperoned
by their sponsor, attended the an-
nual Christmas party at the Y. W.
C. A.
As a club project these Girl Re-
serves had decorated two hundred
souvenir match boxes. These gifts
were delivered to the Dowling
Street U. S. O. Center for the sol-
diers’ Christmas party. The Black-
shear Girl Reserves hope that the
soldiers enjoy these gifts as much
as the girls enjoyed making them,
and that these souvenirs will help
start the soldiers off to a very
Merry Christmas.
This act is but a reflection of
the sentiment and spirit of the
school this year. The thought of
“What I Want” has been utterly
forgotten in the enthusiasm of mak-
ing and planning for others.
Blackshear sends you greetings
and sincere good wishes for your
health and happiness at Christmas
