P. Cranch. In the month of December na­ ture seems to be resting. The birds have flown South for the winter; some animals have put on heavier coats and others have found a home for the winter and gone in­ to hibernation. December is called the “ frosty month” , or the “ icy moonth.” Hol­ ly is the special flower o f this month, and the turquoise is the gem. The word December was de­ rived from the Latin word “ de­ cern” meaning ten, and the month is so named because it was the tenth month on the Roman calen­ dar. It originally contained twen­ ty-nine days, but Julius Caesar added two, making the month of the longest year. December 22 is the shortest day of the year. People who have birthdays in December share the month with several great personalities. A - mong them are Clara Barton, Louis Pasteur, and Rudyard Kip­ ling. On the other hand, one o f the most disasterous events o f all time, Pearl Harbor, occurred in in December 1941. Musical Comedy Gets Finishing Touches The scene is laid in Holland. The characters are Dutch, Span­ ish, and English, All o f these de­ tails naturally make a colorful setting for the varied songs and dances of the operetta, “ My Span­ ish Sweetheart,” which will: be presented on Thursday, December 8, by the Girl’s Chorus of C. H. S. Opera house rehearsals began this week. The cast is composed of girls only, and many laughs will be heard in the audience be­ cause of assumed roles when “ boy meets girl.” There will be a large chorus of English tourists, a thrilling bull fight by two o f the toreadors, and an evening packed full o f good fun fo r every one. We o f the cast believe it will re- shows ever to be given by C. 3 . S. suit in one o f the most enjoyable choruses. The price of admission will be 40c fo r everyone, and tickets will go on sale at the school, Tuesday, December 6. Don’t miss “ My Spanish Sweet­ heart!” C. H. S. Pupils To Take Science Tests Several C. H. S. students plan to enter the Nation-Wide Science Talent Search Examinations that are conducted annually by Science Clubs o f America. _ Preliminary e x a m i n a t i o n s in connection with the Ninth An­ nual Science Talent Search will be given at Cedarvillev December 20, under the supervision f Mr. Guthrie. Each contestant must submit an essay o f 1,000 words using the subject, “ My Scientific Project,” before taking the preliminary examination. Fortv bovs and girls from all over the U. S. A* with the lead­ ing scores will be entitled to at­ tend the Science Talent Institute in Washington next spring. While there they will take the final ex­ amination fox* the scholarships. Preference Test Taken By Juniors In connection with vocational guidance, the Kuder Preference Test was given to all members of the Junior Class last week. The purpose o f this test is to narrow the field o f investigation in con­ nection with the choice o f a vo­ cation for all students. The test was administered by Mis* Hanna. It was not timed, and the outcome has no effect on students’ grades. Members o f both Junior and Senior Classes will now have on record Kuder Preference data fo r future assistance in the selection o f their vocations. Survey Test Taken By Pupils The Junior and Senior classes took a survey test November 21 given by Mr, Ralph Fordyce, stu­ dent practice teacher in the Agri­ culture Department. The purpose o f the test was to determine the problems o f teen­ agers. Three hundred statements were listed that frequently prove problems for teen-agers. Trouble­ some statements were underscor­ ed by pupils, and those that were particularly perplexing were eirl- ed. Fields covered by the test per­ tained to health; social relation­ ships; education; vocation; mor­ als and religion, marriage; per­ sonal temperament; social and recreational activities; and home and family. Typical examples were: (1) People seem, to avoid me; (2) I don’t know enough a- bout my vocational abilities; (3) I am confused in, my concepts of God; (4) I am afraid o f the fu­ ture of our government.
