ir$\ grch 5p from ifyr £>taff of %-~ TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO A BABY WAS BORN—a baby whose ideals men have followed and cherished since. A baby who changed the destiny of the world into which he was born, and of the world through nineteen centuries. That Child planted the seeds of wisdom into civilization that will not die until the millenium He stands for goodwill and peace and freedom. Freedom from the tyrant's bloody heel and the menacing advent of war. And freedom from want and misery, freedom to think and speak and worship and learn. Freedom for all races and creeds. Tolerance and open-mindedness and charity. Democracy is based on Christ's beliefs—the beliefs for which He died and for which men are dying today. As all of us know so well, this is Christ's war—a fight for freedom. Soon Christ's birthday will again be celebrated in all EAST HIGH SCHOOL Vol. XXIX. No. 5 DENVER, COLORADO. DECEMBER 10. 1942 PRICE TEN CENTS lands. Some celebrations will be in secret, and people will die because they dared to disobey the words of a leader who decreed they must worship him and no other. To the lands of the earth where people are crushed and oppressed, this Christmas will bring new sparks of hope and thoughts of freedom, because they know that there are countries still fighting for Christ's beliefs. They know, too, that soon more and more of these free countries will aid them to aid themselves. But more than that, we free people provide the occupants of oppressed lands with those ideals and that courage with which to fight, in their own way, their would-be conquerors. They can't do anything mighty or huge, but they can scratch and bite this great Axis brute, and annoy him in such a way that soon his nerve breaks and he realizes that these people he set out to conquer have conquered -tn ttjr ^Utontta ana 3taltu, at iEaat Btr^ him. They have shown the monster that these beliefs of the Savior have triumphed again, as in other years. History shows us the great work done in the name of Christ. A shining example is the brotherhood of men who followed the ways of Christ and called themselves the Monks. The work of these men saved the learning of the ages for future generations by painstaking patience and quiet understanding. The art that these men produced in their own wise ways outlived the crushing backwardness of the Middle Ages. The great deeds of the people of occupied countries show, too, that the standards of Jesus have provided men with the incentive to progress and make a great civilization. It shows us, in America, that we yet have far to go in helping these valiant people to free themselves,?—those people who look to us for leadership, but who really provide us the great example of courage and gerf-sacrifice, modeled from that greatest of examples, Jesus Christ.

Julia Dale Matlock explained a drive to collect silk stockings; Cynthia Anderson discussed furnishing- a recreation I room at Buckley Field and Bill Glass told of tin can salvage. The kit campaign is being conducted through the general education classes, each of which has undertaken to supply at least one kit, costing $1.50 and containing 14 articles. The Student Council furnishes the bags and sells items such as buttons, which require uniformity; while students bring cigarettes, playing cards and candy. One representative from each general education class has been chosen to take charge of the kits, which must be collected Friday so the soldiers can have them by Christmas. Angels are to bring old silk stockings to put in a hex -er-a table in the front h"1.!, according +o Julia Dale Matlock, in charge of the drive for silk stockings, which the army uses for powder bags. The silk is essential because it doesn't leave an ash when it is burned, and the soldiers don't have to clean the big guns so frequently, she said. Mrs. Philip Alexander, member of the National Red Cross, spoke to the Student Council Wednesday, December 2, in Room 220, about furnishing a recreation room for the soldiers at Buckley Field. Coffee and gasoline cans can be painted to make furnishings, she said, and recent books and magazines are needed badly. Cynthia Anderson, chairman of a committee discussing plans to furnish a solarium or recreation room at Buckley Field, declared it would cost approximately $100 to furnish a solarium 12 feet by 24 feet, which would require a piano, music, radios, phonograph, records, books, magazines, games, furniture, etc. Bond and Stamp Sales Slow; Club Encourages Increase "EVEN A LITTLE can help a lot now!"

The choir was organized in 1931, and was the first of its kind in the Denver high schools. "Every Christmas season the choir I has several engagements to sing its j holiday repertoire at meetings of I various organizations and programs j in the city," Miss Moorhead said. "This year the members of the choir will sing before the meeting of the Zonta Club, professional women's group, at Tammen Hall on December 17, and they will also appear on the 'Know Your Schools' hour over Station KLZ at 12 o'clock noon on De-1 cember 19."

Tests, Health Exams, Radio Courses Soon By Monte Smith • Radio Course "Because of the many requests made by members of the beginning radio course that it be continued, I shall teach a continuation of this subject next semester," stated Morris Hoffman, physics teacher. "I hope that the class will be able to do more laboratory work next semester," he added, "as this semester, due to shortage of materials, laboratory experiments have been practically impossible." • I. Q. Tests In charge of all the reading, interests, mathematics, occupational, I. Q. and other standardized tests being given throughout East is Milton Molien, biology teacher. "By these tests teachers are able to analyze the abilities of the students, judging them on a fair basis," Mr. Molien stated. "These examinations are not for grades, but merely to show the capability of the students," he added. Mr. Molien spends several periods each day in charge of correcting, distributing and analyzing the tests. • Health Examinations Over a period of four weeks, all seniors, both boys and girls, are being given physical examinations through the school; Dr. Marie Fackt is examining the girls, and Dr. A. G. Staunton is examining the boys. Reports are being made to the students' parents if any defects that require outside attention are found, according to Carl Schweiger, acting assistant principal. Dental examinations made by Dr. William J. McMenamy are being given to all students, and tomorrow hearing tests, conducted by Mrs. Edith Embury Crane, will start. These hearing check-ups will also be given to all students. • Measles! "Well, here I am again in the hospital, only this time I have the MEASLES," writes Frank Tempest, former Spotlight staff member, from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. "There are about six fellows from our house in here now—more are expected," he continued. Frank is a freshman at the university and has been working for the school paper. Her plans are uncertain as to college upon her graduation from high school in June. She is a member of White Jackets, Junto and French clubs. Her scholastic achievements at East show a straight A record. Newswriting I Offered Pupils "HOW MAY I BECOME A MEMBER of the Spotlight staff?" is a question which is asked by pupils planning a new semester of work. The answer is to enroll for a class in Newswriting I which gives credit in composition which is acceptable as college entrance credit. Newswriting may be taken in either the junior or senior year. Newswriting may be considered a pre-induction course for public relations work in the armed forces. Many former Spotlight staff members are serving in public relations work or in the intelligence divisions of the service. Special emphasis is given to work being contributed by war correspondents whose stories of the present war are equally thrilling to any best-seller. \..s
