This Christmas Cheer edition details the Forbay School Christmas program as well as those of Lincoln and Washington Schools. The high school students were set to have a Christmas program with presents given out. The English Lutheran Sunday School was scheduled to give a Christmas program at the Lincoln School, and the selections were specified. The community play was scheduled. The Cloquet Junior High Y Team beat Lincoln high in basketball. The Cloquet Scouts beat the Lincoln High basketball team. The game with Meadowlands was cancelled due to a two day snowstorm. Heavy snows made roads impassable for the north motor bus riders, so they had to ride in the horse busses for two hours, morning and night, with classes and noon recess times shortened.
