W. C. No one has ever defined the Christmas Spirit. Everyone knows that it is a glo~i?us, indefinite something that creeps mto one's blood and heart and makes him gay and thankful. It is the thing that instills in people who do not know a sharp from a flat a strong desire to sing and sing and sing; that prompts rich mortals to drop coins into the outstretched hands of poor mortals, that urges hurried, busy h~~ans to take time off for a chat w1tn a long-neglected neighl?or. And it is the power that brings man the nearest to God that the piCayune, well-meaning animal called man perchance can ever be. Yet no one en define this something. However, parts of it can be definitely pointed out and certainly one of the bjggest parts ~f this great Christmas Spirit is Mu sic. Music with a big M. 7 :30 p. m.' Wilmette Chapter R. A.

Prowlers Visit School; Escape Police Bullets Prowlers entered the Joseph Sears school at Kenilworth on three different <>ccasions du-ring the past week. On Wednesday night, November 24, a ·" tour" of the entire school was made. Nothing ,,~as taken nor was any damage done. On Tues.day,. !'lovem~er 30, the school was agam v1stted ~tth the same result. On the following night, howeve.r, the presence of. prowlers '":as discovered by the Kemlworth pohce and as they made off, were fired upon but' ,verc able to escape in the ~ark ness. The reason. for thes~ conststent visits has mystified the pohce as nothing of value is ever kept at the sch<;>ol other than the regular school equipment, and none of this was molested. More than 400 friends and acquainances of Fred A. Miller visited his Central Cafeteria in the Nelson building Wedne sday 'evening of this week to join in the . festivities inci~ent to the celebration of the first anntversary of the opening of that "·ell known eating place. The press of the guests a.t the cafeteria's first birthday party all but overwhelmed the efficient force of employes, but it was a happy and patient throng that came and kept com ing between the hours of 5 and 9 o'clock. Featuring the anniversary party was a program of music given by Alfred Moss concert pianist; ~[iss Joan Quiv~er, soprano, ·M r. Lum, Hawaiian guitar artist, and a radio concert provided through the courtesy of the Beyrer Electric and Radio Shop in the Nelson building. Many be-autiful floral pieces were received by Mr. Miller from individual friends and groups including the Boosters and Kickers club, a regular noonday business men's luncheon group, several business establis~ments, and the employes of the cafetena. Come Early! There is no need to urge people to attend, for this event has always drawn full houses, which is proof in itself that Music is a big part of Christmas. However. it mig-ht be said that the date December 12 should be kept in mind. for it is sure to be a gala dav for those who love Music and for th~se who love Christmas and for those who can see that the souls of these two great powers are almost one.
