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?" Gilcra/t 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."

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 bit wobbly. _____ J|C _____ We are pleased to report that Mrs. Helen Jackson has made arrangements which make it possible for her to return to our staff.

The Pelican (lirl Scout News 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. La Verne Stack, Girl Scout Leader 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 them to the teachers and friends who bought them. Oh! we made good profits and we thank Mrs. Huff for helping us sell them and also we thank everyone who bought their cards from us.

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 T EDWARD S. FOLTZ Director oj Athletics coaches and all others connected with the athletic department of the school. There is simply nothing that can be done, but to wait and wait we shall! The Class of *51's News (Continued From Pnye 5) has the lucky number. Everybody has waited anxiously for this time. Each girl and boy hopes to win a wrist watch! The class of 51 certainly misses <«uv sponsor, Mrs. Huff. She was called to Illinois to take care of Mr. Huff's mother who is very ill. We gave her a farewell gift the day she left here, and also accompanied her to Hammond where she caught the train. We feel lost without her and miss seeing her everyday. We have heard from her and we are always glad to get her letters. Kathcrinc Sample, Si't-ri-tary The Square Dance at Eunice The square dance team went to my hometown, Eunice, to give an exhibition dance at the Square Dance Festival there. I was allowed to go with them. The dance was held at the St. Edmund's Gym. There was a crowd of people there but I recognized my family. I sat with them while the square dancers performed. We wero thrilled to see some of the LSD Alumni from neighboring towns there, too. I think our team was the best of all. My family had never seen our deaf team dance, and they liked it very much.

Let us hope that when the Old Year went out, he gathered up all of our bad habits, broken promises, and foolish mistakes and took them along with him. Then, in place of these things that we would all like to be a rid of, the New Year will bring us a nice, new resolution to make the coming year the best one we have ever had.

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 4th. Everybody was glad to see me. Marion Latino Eleven boys and I went to the country and forest Sunday afternoon. Oscar and Malcolm chose some boys to play war. Oscar's team was the army and Malcolm's team the Japanese. My army found a tent in the forest. It was new. The army fought with the Japanese. The army team won. We put the Japanese team in jail.

It will take about two years for them to grow to be Christmas trees. Clyde P. LeBorde Hiking on the Levee Last Sunday afternoon Oscar, Melvin, Charles and I went hiking. We hiked along the levee for 8 miles. We walked beyond L.S.U. I fell in the mud and my clothes were muddy. I had to take a bath when I got back to school.

Editor A Christmas party was given by the Shreveport Silent Bible Class on the 22nd of December. Some forty deaf people attended, and had an enjoyable time. Refreshments were served. * * * The Baton Rouge Silent Athletic Club was host to a large crowd of deaf people at a New Year party on Saturday. December 30th. at the W.O.VV. hall. Among those attending were several from out of town. Dancing and games were indulged in until one o'clock in the morning. * * * Mr. Lloyd Perrine of Alexandria and Miss Geraldine Deglandon of this city were married on December 30th at the St. Agnes Catholic Church here. It was a rather quiet wedding attended by relatives and close friends of the couple, among whom were Anthony Mowad of Oakdale. usher, Deloy Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Season, and E. J. Lewis, all of Alexandria. The newlyweds are making their home in Alexandria where Lloyd is employed at the Holsum Bakery. * * * One of the big occasions of New Year's Day in New Orleans was the party under the auspices of the Ladies of St. Margaret's Daughters and St. Mary's Society of the Deaf in New Orleans. A record-breaking crowd was in attendance to make a success of the affair which took place in the Redemptorist's Auditorium. Television showed the Sugar Bowl game, and there was dancing and games, too. Refreshments in the form of turkey sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, cakes and candies were served in abundance. At this party the retiring Father Heidell was presented with a nice black leather belt and some money. Incidentally it was his birthday. Father Walsh also was remembered for his untiring and devoted work among the Catholic deaf. He received a fine black traveling bag and a purse of money. The new officers of St. Mary's Society for 1951 are: William Vanderbrook, Presi- dent; Robert Haydel. Vice-President; Mrs. Ella Tyler, Secretary; Mrs. Rosemary Haydel, Treasurer, and Louis Vanderbrook, Social Chairman.

Her husband passed away a few years ago. * * * Friends of Thomas Lofaso were shocked to hear of his sudden demise in New Orleans on December 13. A heart attack was the cause. He was at work when this hap pened. He was in his 51st year. * * ••':•• Mr. and Mrs. Harvey .1. Gremillion sold their country home to Harvey's sister sometime after the New Year, and are now living in an apartment on S. 12th street in Baton Rouge. They like it better, because the frequent long trips between the country place and this school worked hardships on them. * * * Dan Cupid surely worked fast this last Christmas season. He must have invented a bow that shoots arrows like ;i machine gun because five young couples became engaged to be married almost simultaneously. They are. Sadie St. I'e to Edgar Landry. .luanita Duhon to Bernard Hankel. Gerald Blank to Lula Mae Benoit. Mary Lou Broussard to Herbert Picoti. and Gloria Halphen to Bobby Sheppard. We are listening for the wedding bells. No, we do not know yet if it will be a joint wedding affair, but, anyhow we are wishing each couple a happy voyage on the Sea of Matrimony, and our congratulations go along with them. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lahasky are the proud grandparents of a oaby girl born to his son and daughter in-law sometime during December. * * * The new officers of the New Orleans The Pelican Div.

Leslie Broussard, third trustee; Francis Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms. The office of the secretary failed to be filled at this election, so Oliver Childress obligingly agreed to continue to serve in that capacity until the next meeting when a new secretary is expected to be elected. * * * Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mashaw were honored at a buffet luncheon given by their son and daughter on Saturday. November 18 to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary.

It is their fourth child, named Brenda Gale. SK * * The Crescent City Club of the Deaf in New Orleans gave a New Year party on December 31st. A program preceded the party. Speakers on the program were Mr. A. J. Sullivan, who delivered the welcome address to the members as well as the many local and out-of-town visitors; Mrs. Sydney Cotirrege. who gave her usual beautiful rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" in the sign language: Mr. Armand S. Courregc. whose topic of talk was about the origins and purposes of different clubs. A short but laugh provoking play was given by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Daigle, supported by Anthony Barlotta and Mrs. Angelo Palazzo. The program was concluded with the award of cash pri/es to the lucky holders of the entrance ticket numbers. About 150 people from almost all points in Louisiana and some from Texas and Mississippi were present to see the old year out and the new one in. * * * The two fine sons of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schneider. Henry. Jr., and Rowland, spent the Christmas holiday with their parents in New Orleans. Henry. Jr is an odicer in the army stationed in California.

Congratulations! * * * Jake Ledbetter of Jackson, Miss., was the guest of Nick LeFors in Baton Rouge during the Yuletide. Nick took him along to New Orleans to enjoy the New Year and the Sugar Bowl game. Jake is known to many Baton Rougeans. He is employed by the Coca-Cola firm in Jackson, and Nick himself is not at all a stranger here, having come over very frequently from Alexandria where he was working as a printer before he finally took a job with the StateTimes here. He is a welcome addition to the local deaf colony. * * * We are informed that Curtis Reason is now working for Cotton Bros., makers of Holsum bread in Alexandria. Mrs. bridal in-law About Lloyd Perrine was honored at a shower at the home of her motherin Alexandria on January 13th. forty people attended this party. * * Si! On December 31 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Feux were called to Opelousas, the native home of Mr. Feux, because of the unexpected death of his brother, Lawrence, who died of heart failure. Here we extend our sympathy to the Feuxs and the other members of the bereaved family. * * * Mr. Hugo Mat/ner of Meridian. Miss., was in New Orleans during the New Year holidays to attend the Sugar Bowl game. He is well known to a large circle of deaf people here in Louisiana. He took in the New Year party at the Crescent City Club and the St. Mary's Catholic Club of the Deaf the next day. His friends were glad to see him once again. * * * Mr. Lafayette Trousdale of Monroe celebrated his birthday on December 31. His relatives and friends called on him to congratulate him. We failed to find out what his milestone was, but we are aware he is somewhere around the 65th milestone. He is now a retired pressman.
