CO if) 'twas the night before Christmas (modern version) by audri montgomery It was Christmas eve "cats" And the house was the calmest. Not a mouse was a squeaking, the air was the balmiest. The footcovers hung; the act was suspense Cat-Man Nicholas was expected by these ladies and gents. The kids were up snoozing, their dreams were the coolest. Seems candy and sugar plums made up their goo list. Pop and Mom were real gone as they counted the sheep. And this cat was even beginning to sleep. When a crazy wild combo set up camp on the grounds. Frantic! I thought I was going the rounds. I hit for the window and cased the whole scene. Man that St. Nick was dressed really mean! He gave with the downbeat and the reindeer went wild They were gone on the cause, for their number Nick dialed. "Oobla Dee" yelled Dasher, "Dancer, Prancer are for us!" Vixen, Comet and Cupid, joined in on the chorus. Donner and Blitzen screamed "Get with us, let's hoof!" And Rudolph was lit as they hit the roof. I was feeling real gone with this craziest visit When Nick gave with a bound and I thought he would miss it. Being hep with our joint, though, he entered with ease. With a sack full of jazz that would make this cat freeze. His eyes were the greatest, his beard white as ghost. And his jolly round belly was really the most. His union was pressing so he got with the job. And the glad rags and nic nacs he left were a mob. ' Then making an end he rose with the smoke, Fell into his sleigh, as the crazy deer woke. They flew to the atmosphere and Nick gassed from the height "Frantic Yuletide, kiddies, and Baby goodnight." this is John Klzey the mighty soph shows who's boss. by bill murdork Now hear ye this all freshmen!

Sport Shirts . . .&&e. . .fife? 5 thankful to be by frank hind Recently it seems, much has been Wid on radio and television and written in our newspapers and magazines, not to mention our schools and places of work about our form of government, our constitution and our ways of living. Owing to the recent discovery of the surprising number, of Communist agenis who, during the last several years, more so than before, have been allowed to infiltrate important government positions, many loyal Americans have been awakened to this fact. Some have even been heard to say, "Well, if Communism is so good maybe it would pay us to investigate it a little more thoroughly. A lot of people in this country seem to be being , converted to it." This may appear alarming, but nevertheless the unfortunate fact remains to be so. Fortunately however, the greatest percentage of the American people turn their deaf ear to the painted and deceitful principles of Communism. Their actions (in Korea, and U. N. meetings! speak much more loudly than their words. Let's listen first to our own blood brothers and native sons coming home from the Korea fighting what they think about Communism, before being induced by some Communist sympathizer to embrace their principles. Communism appealing? Very probably, most of us here at Weber would never dream of going over to Communist principles and what they stand for, no matter how appealingly they may have been dressed up. Eut the important thing we so often forget, is how very grateful and thankful we ought to be that v. e live in, this country and aie Americans by natural heritage. Shamefully, we are frequently inclined to take this wonderful blessing for granted. And, it becomes so commonp'ace in our lives we give it little or no thought but perhaps once or twice a year. A few statistical comparisons recently with our country and other present world powers, published by the National Republic Get Your CORSAGES made Special For The SNOW BALL DANCE at JIMMY'S FLOWER SHOP 450 25TH STREET Season's Greetings to our Many Weber College Friends and Patrons from KAY'S NOODLE PARLOR , Home of Chinese and American Dishes As You Like Them 2437 KIESEL AVENUE PHONE 9121 an american? Organization of Washington, D. C, should help us to understand a little better what our gratitude should be. To sum it all up in the words of this organization: "No nation on earth, regardless of its form of government, ever gave to human beings so much liberty and material prosperity as our own Constitutional form of Freedom. We started out as thirteen little States, ridden by poverty and threatened by savages. We were, however, blessed by God. We now represent the utmost individual freedom and individual prosperity. Compare our United States with any other land on earth. The working man here is a king compared to the working man in any other country. Nearly all of us own. bonds and have modern homes electric lights and power gas cooking telephones automobiles automatic refrigeration electric washers and irons radios insurance policies. Most of us own bonds and have money in the bank, plus a thousand and one other conveniences and luxuries.Are we ready to exchange all this for the crazy promises of some foreign crackpot? Isn't it time for us to thank God for America and our many blessings? Isn't it about time that we wake up and do a real job, selling America as it is? V Certainly we know that deep within, our hearts we are sincerely grateful and thankful we are Americans, even though we don't make an issue of it or shout it out on the street corners or do something similar. But surely it ought to go without saying, that to hear our own lips say it to our family and friends, and, yes, to the One to whom all the gratitude and thankfulnesses justly due would insure the "fact that we are thankful to be an American.Answer to picture puzzle: Starting bottom left Gloria Pratt, Dick Heiser, Marilyn Johns, Don Crompton, Nancy Sanders, and Garth Blanch.
