Social and Club Activities IRENE JULIAN SOCIETY EDITOR Phone 2206 J. Gregory Conway, Author, Honors Guests At Charming Buffet-Supper All the breathless excitement of Christmas was expressed in the exotic setting of the cocktail and buffet-supper party given by J. Gregory Conway, well-known author of books on flower arrangement, Sunday afternoon. Conway's home in Fullerton, scene of the event, is like a bit from some old, enchanting fairy tale. Seeing the place from the road, one would never guess what lies at the end of the winding tree shaded, driveway, where a house, with just a hint of the oriental, is set near a quiet lagoon, surrounded by native trees and shrubs from all parts of the world. Following one of the many enticing little pathways that lead from the house, one is lost, in only a few steps, among towering trees, enchanting little rock gardens, bright flowers blooming beside little, secluded springs, and happily, ever so often, a place to sit. A place to sit, and just feel, the wonderful seclusion of everything but the beauty and peace of a place wrought by the artistic hand of a sensitive man, who knows how to work with nature. Entering the house the guests were caught for a breathless instant by the almost unbelievable utter beauty of Conway's conception of a Christmas tree. Placed in a corner window was a banana tree, on which had been arranged branches and foliage from other trees and shrubs, which had been sprayed with copper. Christmas ornaments of silver, and blush-pink stars, twinkled and gleamed against lime green in the light from a quarter-moon lantern which hung outside the windows, and the baby-spot light on the floor in the room. of Knopff publishers in New York, with it's release expected sometime in the fall of next year. A delay in the release was encountered when it was decided to have the color plates done in Germany. Done by the German method, which is outstanding in this field, the reproduction is most faithful to the flower subject, and the new book will contain over 100 of these fabulous color plates.

To start out Christmas right, Thursday during assembly period, an original play, "The Christmas Letter", written by Miss Louise Hitt, will be presented to the student body and an evening performance for the general public will be held Friday at 8 p.m. When the stars are shining brightly and the moon shines from high above, the AUHS study hall lights will be turned down low, and Santa and his workshop will open their doors to the throngs of students attending the "Christmas Formal" in their "bibs and tuckers." Gay laughter, dreamy music, and mistletoe will surround every couple for a mystic evening of romance and gaiety. Jean Pflog, scribe of Zion Lutheran troop No. 31, reports that the troop is now working on the bicycling badge. Bicycling to and from Knott's Berry Farm were Virginia Pietsch, Janet Cooke, Janet Landes, Sharon Troutman, Kahleen Schulz, Lorraine Schulz, Jane Reineman, Sandra Ballman, Georgeanne Nelson, Lois Wenholz and Jean Pflog.

Pamphlets on library rules and etiquette are being distributed to students in their orientation classes this week.

PRIMER FOR PARENTS THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT make it real for your child by letting him take part in all the wonderful preparations for the big day. A cotton dust cap that fits securely over the working end of a broom is excellent for wiping down walls or across ceilings and floors.

HOME-MAKERS' FORUM By The Gazette's Own Home Economist JOAN S. WHITE Merry Christmas to your house means more than decorating with glitter and sparkle. You can start now to do it in more dignified subtler ways. Furniture groupings may have to be changed to make room for the tree and the open shelves in your living room cleared off for Christmas cards that will be arriving before long. Who would think of hanging a wreath on a window which was not shining clean or to put new candles in holders which were not shined to perfection? A house has a way of collecting things like dust and cobwebs in the oddest places and inventory of closets and bureau drawers bring to light some mighty interesting collections too. Why not relieve your house of its clutter and junk (if you will pardon the expression). Your preparations for the holidays will then proceed unencumbered, and there will be room to store the gifts and toys that come with Christmas. The Folks Santa Forgets At Christmas time there are always the poor people whom Santa forgets. The Salvation Army is the agency that steps into the breach to fill stockings that would otherwise be empty, to bring food to a cheerless house, and to place a doll into empty, waiting little arms. When you are clearing out the debris from your house, the debris that is junk to you but useable by someone else, consider the good done by this welfare agency, and then in the spirit of Christmas you may be tempted to give generously. Clothing, books, toys. helm 4631. Slip Covers Sprucing up the house for Christmas often means pepping up draperies and slip covers. These are like the frosting on the cake. You could get along without them but how dull and uninteresting the finished product would be. And like the frosting on the cake, if they do not definitely furnish eye appeal, what is the use of having them? Your window dressings show from the outside and will be lime-lighted by the lights of Christmas. To Wash Slip Covers Did you know that you can wash slip covers in a washing machine? Well, you can—if the slip cover material is washable and colorfast and has seams that are not given to fraying. Naturally, there are some slip covers which should be dry cleaned and you would be wise to check the manufacturer's recommendations on this score. Be sure you shake the covers well to remove loose, dusty particles and close all zippers on snap openings before you consign them to the washer. Put them into the washer one at a time and do not overload the machine if you want a good cleaning job. One divan cover, two chair covers or five pillow covers probably will make an ample washer load. Wash the slip covers for 5 to 10 minutes and remove them from the washer immediately after rinsing. Put them in a clothes dryer or out on the line until they are almost dry. Just enough moisture should be left to allow the material to stretch easily. While the slip covers are still slightly damp, press the bottom ruffle or pleating and carefully place covers on chairs, divans and Thomas Jefferson P-TA Program To Be Given Twice Thomas Jefferson P-TA announces their Christmas program to be held tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium, and the same program to be presented again on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. A repetition is necessary in such as all 325 pupils of the school are taking part, and the auditorium is not large enough to accommodate the families and friends planning to attend. When you are clearing out the debris from your house, the debris that is junk to you but useable by someone else, consider the good done by this welfare agency, and then in the spirit of Christmas you may be tempted to give generously.
