mighty good to us on Christmas
morn. We found our stockings full and
hope you did, too.
We want to take this opportunity to
thank our many friends, readers and
parents for remembering us at Christmas time and your nice Christmas cards
and other kindnesses.
We read somewhere that in the
entire world there are 946 schools for
the deaf, 549 of which are in Europe.
North America has 223 schools. South
America 23, Africa 10. Asia 131. and
Australia 12. For the 200,000 deaf of
India, there are only three schools
and only 60 schools for the 60,000 deaf
in Japan.
We are happy for the folks at the
Ohio School for the Deaf. They are
going to get a whole brand new school
on a brand new location. We saw a
print of the architect's drawings of the
new buildings, and they are out of
this world. They have had their ground
breaking ceremonies and the actual
construction has started.
Construction of a new school for the
deaf in Southern California, at Riverside, has also been started.
This school is proud to report that
we are 100 per cent in membership
to the Louisiana Educational Association and to the Convention of American
Instructors of the Deaf.
We are happy to note that the National Association of the Deaf has recently opened a full-time office in
Chicago.
Frank Bergeron, our big-time landlord, had a very nice Open House at
one of the houses which he recently
purchased. This home, known as the
By
KENNETH F. HUFF
Royal House, is a rooming house for
several of our local deaf boys who are
working in town. See the December
issue of the Pelican under the Alumni
news for further information about Mr.
Bergeron and his Royal House.
They tell me that Dean of Boys
Stack has started taking Hadacol to
be a better man. It has been reported
that Mr. Burch. Mr. Binkley, and Mr.
Beard will do the same. Can you picture it?
We still hope your New Year will not
be huffy.
Come see us.
The inspector was extremely annoyed by the amount of noise coming
from the adjoining room while he made
his usual rounds of the school. Unable
to stand it any longer, he opened the
door. Seeing one boy taller than the
others and talking a great deal, he
grabbed him by the collar, dragged
him to another room and stood him in
the corner.
"Now you stand there and be quiet
till I tell you to go back to your room!"
the exasperated school instructor commanded.
A quarter-hour later a small head
appeared around the door and a small
qimering voice a.sked. "Please, sir.
may we have our teacher back now?"

A certain floral shop lost a couple of
customers recently. Wrong cards were
attached to two beautiful floral
wreaths. The one that went to a druggist moving into an expensive new
store read. "Deepest sympathy." and
the one intended for the funeral of a
prominent citizen bore the kind sentiment, "Good luck in your new location."

During the Christmas Recess, two
of our family fell by the wayside.
Mrs. Dorothy Strieby underwent
surgery at Lady of the Lake hospital
on New Year's Day and has just lately
returned to her home on the campus,
where she is recovering rapidly. Her
doclor thinks it may be possible for
her to return to her Primary class
within another week. Mrs. Aline Gibson, Mr. Huff's secretary, was also in
the hospital part of the recess, but she
has returned to work, still feeling a

Monday, December llth, was a
proud, happy and exciting day for the
Girl Scouts. It was the day they were
to receive their pins at an investiture
ceremony. Miss Brown and Miss Goff
came to present the pins after each
girl gave her Scout Promise. Miss
Brown and Miss Goff are from the
Baton Rouge Girl Scout Council.
The ceremony took place on the
stage of our gym with all the pupils
and faculty present. The girls looked
so nice; all wore white blouses with
yellow ties. A few days later Mr. Huff
received .$(>2.0() from the business women in town to buy green material
so the girls can have scout skirts. They
had heard how nice the girls looked
and wanted them to have skirts alike.
We will make them as our next project.
Thi 1 girls tilled two bushel baskets
with food, clothes and toys for a poor
family at Christmas. They were happy
to be able to make some other people
happy, too.

Christmas Card Sales
In the months following September
our senior class showed Christmas card
samples and many teachers ordered
cards and stationery. Our sponsor.
Mrs. Huff ordered them early and we
have received them, we delivered

and we thank Mrs. Huff for helping us
sell them and also we thank everyone

HERE certainly is no joy no enthusiasm no pleasure, in fact, no
nothing in writing about a basketball
team that has not as yet won a single
victory on the basketball court. Such
is the dilemma we find ourselves in
at present, when the Editor of the
Pelican yells for "copy." How different
the task would be had we at least a
couple of games to chronicle in which
our boys won.
Unfortunately practically all of the
boys who came out for basketball have
had no previous experience and it is
absolutely necessary to teach them the
techniques of passing, shooting, dribbling, pivoting, etc. This naturally takes
time and consequently teamwork does
not function as smoothly as it should.
We are still in the embryo stage of the
game and as mentioned in previous
issues of the Pelican, it will probably
be at least a couple of years before
the team can hope to make a creditable showing. We are far from discouraged, but naturally, like everybody
else, we would like to be able to report
a few victories, at least.
To date, the team has lost four
straight games, all by rather lop-sided
scores. However, we note that in every
game we have been able to narrow
the margin of victory to fewer points.
This in itself is encouraging and we
are going to keep on trying and hope
to be able, before the season closes,
to chalk up maybe one victory, notwithstanding the chances for so doing
appear almost impossible.
We know this report will not go
well with the alumni, nor the friends
of the school, but it is harder on the

The square dance team went to my

them. The dance was held at the St.

We went to the Shrine Circus Friday.
The man gave us tickets. The pet trainer had tigers and lions in the cage. We
saw a woman and men go up a tall ladder. We saw two clowns play with fireworks. Another clown was in a little
car. He pulled out a skunk. Other
clowns boxed. They threw water and
paper from a pail. A man rode a horse
named "Watercloud."

Last Fall I tried to come to school
in September but my father wouldn't
bring me back to school. He wanted me
to help him. He wanted me to work in
the field.
On October 14th, we began to- haul
the cane to the derrick. I asked my
father to let me drive the tractor. He
said. "No." He wanted me to pick up
the cane behind the cane load. I made
three loads.
I came back to school on December
