Lighted candles, | symbolic of friendship, decorate the | rooms and each class has its spec- ial type of candle which is dis-| played on the door. ! According to one legend, it is thought that many years ago peo- ple burned candles in their win- dows to light the way for the Chrisc‘ |Child and the Mother Mary who| | they believed might reappear in thc guise of any wanderer, seeking shel- ter for the night. To the present day this custom ol a lighted can- dle placed in a window on Christ- mas Eve has come to represent the spirit of friendship. Decorations | By waxing colored paper and covering panes of glass with it, the students have been able to obtain some unique effects in the class- | rooms. | The first Christmas story is re- |lated by silhouettes which deco- Trate the entrance to the school. In | the hall on the second floor of the | high school are large white paper | letters set off on either side by clusters of colored candles spelling Merry Christmas.” Party Tuesday On Tuesday afternoon students f the high school will gather in | the assembly, which has been deco- | rated with evergreens and a Christ- 'mas tree, for a party before being ‘dismis'svd for the holidays. Each |class in the grade school will hold |a party in their own rooms and popcmn balls, cookies, and punch fun. Small gifts are 0 be exchanged among the stu- dents. { Useful Work A number of classes have been working on something special for the holiday season. Members of the sewing class have dressed sev- jeral dolls which they are giving "~ laway to some deserving little girls. Others have made all kinds of gifts including aprons, dresses, pajamas, The last week of school Such practi- shelves, night tables, what-nots, and photograph books have been made. In the cooking class they have learned to make many Christ- urn on Monday, December 28, for four days of school and then they will be dismissed again for New| | Year's Day, returning on January ' 4 to start studying again. GORGAS LEAVES KETCHIKAN THIS: MORNING EARLY Storm at First City Holds Up Shipping—Princess Adelaide Delayed KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec. 19.—+! After encountering a storm in the horbor that delayed her nine hours, the Canadian Pacific steamer Prin- cess Adelaide, which made a spec- ial trip here from Prince Rupert, isailed for the South at 9:30 o'clock | this morning. The steamer Gen. W. C. Gorgas, under charter to the Government for a special Alaska voyage, sailed north from here this morning at 8 o'clock, after a twenty-one hour stay in port. Most of the Gorgas’ time here was spent in re-arrang- ing cargo for northern ports. The harbor storm, during which the wind reached a velocity of 28 miles an hour, caused the anchor of the Princess Adelaide to become entangled with Signal Corps ani | Forest Service cables. The storm 'subsided after four hours, but th: Adelaide was forced to spend the next five hours in untangling her anchor. .- TO GAMBIER BAY U. 8.
