Marais and Miranda sang many of their songs in the South African Dutch or Afrikaans language, whi ch is spoken in Mr. Marais ' native Union of South Africa. Other songs originated in Flanders , France , England, Ireland* and America, and several were sung in the Bantu tongue of African natives. However, the second and succeeding stanzas of all the songs were sung in English , for the sake of the audience's better understanding and interest. Among the songs seemed to be enj oyed most were Sarie Marais, Onions and Potatoes, Johnny With the Bandy Legs, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Cripple Creek, the Ratcatcher 's Daughter, Cockles and Mussels, Train to Kimberley diamond mines, and a South African version of Just Before the Battle , Mother—know n among the goldminers as When Will We Be Married , Gertji e ? Marais said that this last song carried an interesting sideligh t on the history of song tunes. Americans took this Civil War tune to the Koldfields of Johannesburg in the Transvaal in 1876. There the natives began to sing it in Dutch , and Marais had always thought it to be a genuine South African folk song. However , he was surprised l on coming to this country in 1939, to find that it was really American. Especially interesting are the native African chants, such as Umbira Melody, played on a tiny sound-board with iron prongs. Animal Cries is a song imitating the noises of native beasts and insects, sung by native mothers to amuse their children. Marais was born in the Union of South Africa and began his career as a violinist with the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra. He continued his musical studies in Europe, and while in England was launched on his present career when the English Victor Phonograph Com( Continued on page 2) The Business Education Club held a regular meeting recently in Navy Hall auditorium. The president, Francis Galinski , called the meeting fo order and made the announcements. The prograiu featured a talk by Mr. John Lavelle, a lawyer from Ashland and an alumnus of BSTC. Mr. Lavelle cited some interesting cases and experiences which he has encountered. Also, he suggested giving a general law course in the fourth year of high school, which would cover : 1. Children ' s responsibility to parents. 2. Parents' responsibility to children. 3. Marriage 4. Insurance 5. Employer-employee relationships. 6. Purchase and handing of real estate. A course such as this, he stated, would put the high school student into a position to act intelligently within the law. After adj ournment, there was a meeting of the Refreshment and Program Committees. The Business Ed. Club meets the first and third Thursdays of each month. B Club Holds Part y At H ome of Sp onsor The B Club recently held a Christmas party at the home of Miss Lucy McCammon for all the girls who helped at its concession stands this year. The party began with group games. The guests enj oyed reciting tongue-twisters, competing in a shoe-tying contest, and participating in other activities, under the leadership of Mickey Casula. Mary Lou Todd sang "O Holy Night" and other Christmas selections. The members of the B Club presented a Christmas pageant depicting the perfect gift to Jesus —a humble and worshipful heart.

As the tower clock struck the last note of ten , Barge wispy snow flakes tumbled earthward. The maj estic pines donned 111 thin coat of white. The poinsettias framed in the cozily lighted winKlows seemed to smile in complacency at the snow-flecked green wreath gmn the front door. The fountain in front of Carver Hall looked bleak Hind lonely as the snow gently covered it. Gay Christmas lights on the Blower seemed blurred as the snow fell faster and faster. Memorial Pines weemed to resent the fact that they were not so colorfully adorned to ¦welcome the Christmas season. I After snapping off the lights in the lounge, the night watchman ¦vearily closed the doors. Footsteps had ceased to patter through the Hporridors, and the college community was presumably tucked in bed. ¦The doors leading into the upper deck were evidently not closed tightly, ¦ind a flurry of snowflakes whistled in through the opening, depositing ¦i tiny figure not too gently on the floor. He shook the powdered snow ¦rom his green jerkin , removed his long tasseled cap, and looked around ¦n amazement at the huge furniture that dwarfed him. "This would be a fine place for our Christmas party, " he mused. II II He stepped back out into the swirling storm and gave a piercing vhistle. From back campus a faint answer echoed, followed by a troop )f frolicking gnomes. They swarmed around Mistletoe, chattering gaily. "Look , fellows, let's surprise Santa by having our Christmas party lere." They nodded their heads vigorously in agreement , and then scampered away. Mistletoe set himself to the task of picking the lock, and • 'emoving the binding chains. From the open door he could hear the 1 yhack-whack-whack of tiny axes from the pine grove. Within a short ime he saw a drove of his companions laborously dragging an oversized ) )ine tree. At each step one of the little elves floundered into a drift far i iver his head. Finally, they managed to get the tree in through the open I loorway. Jingle, The Elf In Charge Of Hauling, sighed profoundly and c ooked around at the freshly-painted green walls, He blushed when his Awarde d Scholarsh ip s i, yes lighted upon the "No Display of Affection in Public" sign. They dragged the evergreen into the lower portion of the lounge, i ind after arduous effort , succeeded in moving the ping-pong tables iligainst the wall at the end of the lounge. Then they brought in pine >ooughs which they had cut from the lower limbs of the tall trees. Bayberry, The Elf In Charge of Decorations, bellowed, "FALL IN!" j The gnomes, milling about the lounge in confusion , immediately bformed into their respective platoons. After roll was taken by squad eieaders, Bayberry addressed the formation. "Men, tonight is the annual celebration of Santa 's party in which vwe elves thank him for making Christmas possible for all the little (ij irls and boys of the world. I want this place decked out in a good fuTuletide fashion with pine scattered everywhere. After that, we'll pnite with Twinkles command to raise the tree.

It does not have to b e accompanied by the exchange of expensive gifts and elaborate preparations , but it is essential that it be celebrated with the age-old spirit that has made it what it is today. Christmas is Christmas because we can still glance out the win dow and see Nellie Swartz and Buck Byham— strolling hand in hand down senior walk. We know , t h is year , as ever , l ove exists—as tru ly as does America itself. Hatred , prejudice , wars, an d jea l ousy sh a ll never gain t h e upper h an d so l ong as t h ere are such people as Nellie and Buck to insure the peace of the generations to come. Christmas means so much because there are always peop le like Jean Shamro fo help lift out spirits when we are feeling low. Christmas will always be pleasant—no matter where we are— as long as there is a "Shamie " to bring out that stored away smile. A holiday would be just another day if there weren 't t hat certain person to laug h with, talk to, an d take your troubles to. Later it will be a husband or wife; now perhaps it is a special friend or that certain beau. Whoever it is, that person is trul y a rea l part of the joy that Christmas brings. Life would not hold quite so many pleasures if we did not have those wonderful benefactor s —our parents. We can not think o f a joyous season , without them foremost in our minds. In close re l ation to our parents are our cl assmates , teac h ers , and all other acquaintanc es we have here at school. These, an d so many other t h ings , are w h at rea lly ma kes Christmas—Christmas. —and How Shall We Celebrate It? The time has arrived when our thoug hts turn to trimming trees , wrapping g i f ts , an d h ang ing up mist letoe. How will you celebrate Christmas this year? Some of us have a certain pattern which we follow each year—the same procedure since the days when we believed in the man with the bi g white beard and joll y chuckle. Many of us still hang our stockirgs; go caroling, and get an extra special thrill out of the rush during those last shop'ping days. Empty places around many dinner tables will remind us of those dear to our hearts who were unable to be with us this year. They left so we could enjoy our Christmas dinner , presents , and holly. Don ' t forget them. Yes , have fun and laug h; but take time out to consider the sacrifices made each day in order that you and I can go on enjoying our holiday of pine branches ana snow. That 's how they want it. When the fun of Christmas is over , stop for a few minutes and look around you. You 'll see the tree, crumpled wrapping paper , empty cand y dishes and a smoldering firep lace. That isn ' t what we mean. Think how lucky you are to be able to even celebrate Christmas. Celebrate according to your own belief. You are free to believe as you please , and free to congregate with your famil y and friends. So when you put away your books for the coming holidays, and join in on the caroling, remember this. When you sing "Peace on earth , good will toward men ," let it reall y mean something, When Christmas time arrives , celebrate in two ways. First, do everything you planned to do, see everyone you planned to see, and spread the cheer and spirit as you go along. Second, be reverent and thankful that you can do all these things. Christmas means a lot to us Americans; that 's why we have always taken arms to preserve it.

Christmas Spirit STRICTL Y FOR CO-EDS by M ary Lou Tculd No doubt most of you have your wardrobes picked out and waiting to be worn during the Christmas vacation. I hope "you were able 10 find thai information in last week's column , sent by Mademoiselle, helpful in making your selection. Have you seen Derlene Keller ' s attractive navy and white outfit ? It's really smart ! A navy skirt with 8 sets of double pleats, worn with a navy short-sleeved sweater which you only catch a glimpse of , since it is covered by a full bolero jacket of large navy and white shepard's plaid , having u double pointed collar and t hreequarter length sleeves with cuffs. Tie some rope pearl s underneath that collar and add a red woven belt for a touch of color. Also, a •pair of red leather flats. There you have it! Snappy as a cold winter morning in January ! Miriam Neyhard is all set for those heavy-scheduled days witft her grey corduroy jumper and a. grey gabardine blouse with a touch of corduroy on the culls, buttons, and peter pan collar. Naturally, the sleeves are of the most popular style—three-quarier length. Oh, yes, the collar has a thin belt around it hooked by a buckle—I believe this is called a dog collar. We certainly do have some odd names for some of these creations of ours. They're generally appropriate, though. If you're like the average American girl, you proba bly have already found yourself remarking. "I wish those stylists would make up their minds. First its short skirts; then long. It's long hair and then short." Well, many of us had and still have a short hairdo, but we find it necessary to make a complete change. The question in our minds now is—how can you have a long hair-do if you have short hair? Believe it or not, it can be done. Seem absurd ? Well, by setting the hair in pincurls all over the head and then brushing up from the neck and away from the face, your hair will look long while the top hair ends in a fluff. Another method you might use to add to your glamour is to comb the hair while damp, then set in pincurls low on the neckline. If it's done evenly, you may have several neat waves which are highly emphasized this season. Incidentally, it's always best to remember that cropped hair—no matter what its length — always achieves a neater look if it's combed out while damp and then set in pincurls. Hope I've been able to give you some helpful ideas in case you were in doubt as to a new hair-do for the Christmas season. "Whatever style you choose, be certain that it has that neat appearance and you're sure to rate tops with your man of the hour. Beatrice P. Krone Speaks at Workshop A music education workshop, emphasizing Creative music activities, was presented at the Benjami n Franklin Training School on Wednesday, December 5 from one o'clock until three o'clock, Beatrice P. Krone, of the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts, Idyllwild, California , was the principal speaker. The tradition of giving is one that had been handed down century after century since the birth of the Christ-child. The three wise men and the shepherds didn't give Him gifts because they thought they would receive something in return; they gave because they wanted to. We must think of that when we buy gifts for other people. We should give not for the sake of receiving, but for the joy of giving and of pleasing someone. Christmas time should be a joy ous and happy time for everyone. It is up to us to make it that way. There are many things that help to create Christmas spirit. We should, if we haven't already, learn to appreciate the simpler things . . . the decorations of Bloomsburg, or your hometown, and the eliorts put forth to make them beautiful; the joyous faces of children anxiously awaiting Santa Claus; the pride they show when buying gifts for elders; The pine trees, waiting to be sold, and then decorated either with old fashioned popcorn strings or with bright, colored lights and sparkling balls; the carolers, singing their hymns and merry songs; and most of all, j ust being home with your family. Christmas season this year will be a happier one if we all get into the spiri t of giving, not receiving, and of the idea behind it. And as Tiny Tim in Dicken s Christmas Carol said, "May God Bless Us, Every One! i Fellowship Dinner The second annual dinner for all college church groups was held in the Jtf irst Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg, Monday evening, December 10. Rev. Joseph D. Balazs was the guest speaker. Russell Looker was in charge of the program. * Rev. Varre A. Cummins, pastor of the host church, gave the Invocation. A spaghetti dinner was then served by the Knox Fellowship, hosts for the various groups. Following the dinner, Clifton Clarridge gave the Scripture Reading. Then Miss Mary Ann Fink, accompanied by Miss Mary Jo Williams, sang "Gesu Bambine." Rev. Cummins introduced the Rev. Joseph D. Balazs, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Osceola Mills, who came to America from Hungary. After an interesting address by Rev. Balazs an organ recital was given in the church sanctuary by Mr. Howard J. Fenstemaker, who played several classical and sacred numbers. The first combined meeting of the church groups was held last April at St. Matthew Lutheran Church. The organizations represented at the dinner were: Canterbury Club, Lutheran Student Association, Wesley Fellowship, and Knox Fellowship. Miss Krone stressed the fact that music should be used to develop confidence within the child. By use of the autoharp, lyre, bells , and blocks, she demonstrated the ways in which a child who can not sins well may have an important part in the songs. These various instruments may be used to supply an introduction , interlude , and coda for each song. By employing these techniques , music can be a j oy and satisfaction to every child whether he has musical ability or not. The audience took part in singing several familiar songs in which they supplied the introductions , interludes , codas, and accompanients. Speaking of Operations by Calvin Knnyuck Strictly coed?????? For years the idea of coeducation has been thrashed out. Theroj are those for and those against the set up. Little did Oberlin Colleee realize the controversy it I was starting by ? opening its doors, to both men andi women. I refuse ! at this time to^ take sides. How-ji ever , when a col-5 lege is opened ^ for only one of?; the two sexes, a !: college for the 1 other sex is usually started near- i by. Perhaps this establishes more ; t h a n ever t h a t e d u c a t i & n is a! eive and takeS proposition and can be best ac-i comph'shed in a well rounded at-jj mosphere. With the coeducation!! idea being stretched further and • further, can you imagine the ultimate along* this line—coed dorms ? ; A firm foundation . . . This is not a two-way stretch : topic, but rather, the low down ¦ on a one direction movement. According to the latest statistics re-: leased by the American Hosiery ! Institute, women's feet are, on the average, an inch longer than they ? were in 1930. We could probably i talk for hours about the attributes of large pedal attachments and still come up with nothing significant. One thing is certain and ; that is that when the little lady puts her foot down or plants it diligently in one's hinder region, A' she is bound to command a great > ¦! deal of respect. Quote without comment . . . .; A gentleman from a mid-western city has learned, the hard way, to be extra cautious of i female drivers. He had quite a « run-in with one recently, which resulted in considerable damage i to both vehicles. This is what he \ related to the police investigator at a hearing : "I was driving down the street behind this woman, and \ she signaled for a left turn. I immediately began to pass her on \ the left when she did it—she made a left turn. It's the firs t time I've \ ever seen a woman give a definite ) turn signal and then carry it out. " j Another gripe . . . After spending three to three ; and a half years here in school, one thinks he knows quite a bit of subj ect matter and has this busi- \ ness of grades well in hand. Then \ one does some student teaching and is in for a rude awakening. ; He finds there is, as yet, a great deal to be learned in one's chosen field. Then comes the day to turn in a grade sheet. The student teacher averages grades, applies his studies of statistics and educational measurements, and arrives, after several hours, at six week reports and marks. These are turned in to a cooperating" teacher, some of whom toss all the rules to the winds. Your grade sheets are returned full of corrections, because the student teacher, poor soul, doesn't seem to realize just who Joe Shmoe's father is. And so it goes. Why can't we get an even break and be permitted to forget personal influences ? Let's give ; Joe what he has earned and not what his father's position dictates. 'Tsa fact . . .

Total M & G Stars by Harry Brooks Demise oi a poor joke . . . Not more th an six or seven months ago, a group of men got together in our lair capital city of Harrisburg to talk athletics, wi t h t he thought of the fourteen State Teachers Colleges forming a conference. These men accomplished many things, most of them for the good of athletics in the tutor schools; and above ,all , they united the fourteen state schools again for the first time in many years. That was all well and good. Such a league was sorely needed. Then came the fateful meeting of December 3. In the words of the new pop song, Bloomsburg was left "Out In The Cold Again," as three of our supposed rivals decided that the competition , or rather the beatings, was getting a little too bad, and much worse, a little too frequent. Th u s the l ack of a definite 1952 football schedule for the greatest team of them all, B.S.T.C. Shippensburg lighted the farce-like fuse by dropping Bloom under a "new sanity code"—an old way of saying "hit the road" to teams who have beaten them often in the past. The Huskies have done j ust this. Bloom has now dumped the wrecked Red Raiders four consecutive times by scores of 13-7, 14-13, 26-6, and this year drubbed Rambo 's "shook up " crew by a 40-14 tally. That ended the party for Bloom. Millersville, long weak sister in the tutor ranks, followed suit by easing their '52 grid card by dropping the Huskies. In the last five years, B.S.T.C. has -thumped the Marauders by scores of 37-0, 20-12, 32-7, 40-2, and this year, 40-14. The third member in the trilogy of poor comedy was Indiana. Their main reason for taking Bloom from their schedule' was the great distance between the two schools, plus the factor of getting shutout in the brief two year meetings, 12-0, and 20-0. In addition to these three "friendly " colleges dropping the Redmen, several others want to do the same, but can't find a good excuse, or better still, an adequate reason. There is no reason ; that is the best part of the whole comedy—drama. In the past, Bloomsburg teams have provided these and other schools with fi n e, fair , and above all, equal opposition—three qualities which are becoming a rarity in college circles. But if that's the way they want it , that's the way it will have to be. Schools such as these don 't deserve the true competitive spirit a college foe like B.S.T.C. offers, nor will they be likely to get it in the future. We have been virtually squeezed out of the conference, and you can bet that West Chester and possibly a few other of the consistently better grid teams will receive the same fate. Nothing can be done about it, but it does seem a shame when fourteen schools in the same boat can't all row together to reach a common goal—that goal of being recognized as a tough , gentlemenly league, representing the state of Pennsylvania. Th us the demise of a poor j oke. From here and there . . . George Lambrinos and Bob Lang, two gridders who led the Huskies to their recent undefeated season, have been approached by professional ball clubs . . . thanks goes to all those connected with the fine banquet held in honor of the Huskies last Tuesday evening in the college dining hall . . . sorry for the mistake in the last "Lingvo " in naming the boys who received mention on teams here and there . . . Possible new additions on next year 's grid card ; Rider, New Haven, Lenoir-Rhyne, St. Vincent, St. Francis, West Liberty. Who says we have to play the frail and pale ? . . . cheers for Harold Shelly and his basketeers on their early season successes. Continuing at this fine pace, the Huskies could well go places ... a big: hand for California State Teachers who performed so well but lost the Pythian Bowl to Lenoir Rhyne a few weeks ago . . . West Chester will probably not be in contention for the state grid crown next year. Reason ; they are too tough, too! . . . The date of next year's fray between W.C. and B.S.T.C. has not yet been set, but the rivalry will definitely get another chance to become hotter and hotter . . . Maryland and Tennessee look like the best teams clashing- in the forthcoming- bowl games. Predicted score in a wide open fracus, Maryland 34, Tennessee 28! Kutztown Gains Win Over Huskies 56*55 A last second foul gave the Golden Avalanche of Kutztown a 56-55 victory over the Huskies at Kutztown Saturday evening, Captain Bill Close of the Avalanche tossed in a foul in the final seconds to give Kutztown their first teachers win. The Huskies were seriously handicapped by the loss of Buck Byham and Don Butler via the foul route. Buck playing only about two quarters and speedy Don foulin g out in the third quarter. The loss of these two backboard men probably was instrumental in Kutztown's win, as the Golden Avalanche completely outsized the Huskies. Also missing from the lineup was 6' 6" Douglas Erickson, who is home ill with yellow j aundice. This may keep him out of a Husky uniform for the entire year, and if so., will probably be a strong blow in the win column for the hoopsters. The Huskies were led by Chuck Daly and 'Don Butler with 25 and 9 points respectively. Chucic got most of his points on long sets against the zone defense set-up by Kutztown and Don tipped in snots and made flashing drives. Bob Gerhard replaced Buck Byham in* the pivot post and did a commendable job in the scoring column as well as on the boards.

As a whole the Huskies shooting percentage was poor and undoubtedly cost them a victory. For the winners, Captain Close and Jack Smith led the scoring with 15 and 11 respectively. Close, a dangerous driver and set shot artist , connected mainly on his set shots. This was also the case with Smith , who hit with 5 very long shots. Kutztown Player Pos.

One of the Husky mainstays for the past two seasons has been Chuckin g Chuck Daly, Kane senior. Chuck came here in his sophomore year after spending a year under the St. Bonaventure, N. Y. roof , and has posed a terrific scoring threat for both the Huskies Freshman Squad and the Varsity. Charlie learned his basketball under the tutelage of Stu Edwards, well-kn own Bloomsbur g alumnus, who coached the destiny of K ane's teams for seven years. For Edwards, Chuck was the main cog on offense and his big man on the defensive boards. In 1949, Mr. Daly led the Kane Wolves to the Western finals where they bowed to the Irwin Black Knights. After graduating, the Husky forward opened his collegiate bas* ketball career under former AilAmerican Eddie Milkovitch at St. Bon avent ure at Olean , N. Y. and came to the Husky home the following year. One of the rnain cogs of the Husky quintet is big Bill Byham, whose steadying influence has helped immeasureably in past court seasons. "Buck" is playing his third and last year on the varsity squad coached by Harold Shelly. Last year Bill was the thirdhighest scorer on the team, with a total of 178 points. It is his rebounding ability and all-around court savvy, however, that are his main assets to the Husky cause. Bill 's favorite shot Is a left-handed hook that has proved very effective against the taller opponents against whom he has been playing. The likeable "Buck" hails from Kane, Pennsylvania , the home of other Husky court s t a l w a r t s , Chuck Daly and Doug Erickson. He doesn't limit his sports activities to basketball alone, however, and is a standout performer on the Husky baseball team, being its leading pitcher. He was a member of the Undefeated "48" nine which won 13 games, eight of which were accredited to his good left arm. To prove his versatility, Bill also put in one year with the varsity football team but was forced to quit because of an . inj ury . ^ A^ ^^ ^ M— —j j j f l W i — ^ ^ B^ — Bloomsburg defeated Lock Haven 71-57 in their basketball game at Centennial Gymnasium last Wednesday night. This marked the first Husky conference win. Previously, they had lost to Kutztown . The Bloomsburg cagers were led by their . able play-maker, Dave Linkchorst, who scored 22 points, and center Buck Byham, who had 18 markers. The Huskies were unable to get started in the first quarter. After ar* extremely slow start, the Bald Eagle five began to pull away from the home team. The chief reason for this was a marked superiority under the backboards, for the Lock Haven team had a great height advantage over the Huskies. By the end of the firs t ten minutes, the visitors had pulled away to an 18-11 lead. The two men responsible for this lead were Miller and McDermott, who accounted for 12 points between them. In the second quarter, the Bloomsburg scoring machine began to function accurately. Led by Chuck Daly and Buckv Byham, the Huskies quickly narrowed the gap and finally tied the game on Don Bu tler 's three-point play. A basket followed by a successful foul conversion. The Bloomsburg hoopsters forged ahead on Byham's tip-in and foul shot. They never relinquished their lead during the remainder of the game. The second quarter ended 32-31 with the Huskies on top. A quick cluster ot points on baskets by Linkchorst and Byham, while holdingLock Haven down to a field goal and foul, gave the Huskies a substantial lead shortly after the third quarter began. The Bald Eagles began a back-court press in a vain effort to gain control of the ball and cut down the Husky lead. Such tactics proved futile after a short while. Lock Haven was unable to get closer than two points to Bloomsburg. The Huskies led 50-47 after three quarters. The leading scorer in this period was Linkchorst. He scored four times on long set shots. The first Bloomsburg substitution was made towards the end of the quarter, the starting five playing more than twenty-five minutes without one substitution. This is a remarkable feat in this era of free and frequent substituting. In the final quarter, the home team steadily increased its lead to more than ten points about midway through the period. The Bald Eagles were held from scoring with any great persistency while the Bloomsburg fiv.e continued their fine play and frequent scoring. The final score was 71-57. The outcome was never in doubt after the first minutes of the final period. The Huskies shooting exhibition was by far their best of the young season. As is the rule, the opposition had a much taller team on the court, and though the Huskies were out-reached, they were never out-fought nor out-played during the entire game. This victory was marked by fine team play.

I fiure Lock Haven will be dropping us (like some other nice "sane " schools ' Ive heard about) from their schedule of sporting set-to 's if we don't stop beatig 'em at everything. Added basketball insult to football inj ury last week by dumping them 71-57. The strong link in the Husky court chain was Dave "Link" Linkchorst. To him I extend the honor ( ? ) of membership in the M.I.C.C. Club (Mentioned In Current Currents—The "M" could also stand for muddled, mauled , misused, et c.) Anyhow , there 's q uite a bit more than j ust bouncing a ball involved in basketball and I think our boys have "it ". # * * * * Christinas Spirit — Bloornsburg Style . . . Maybe you didn 't know it , but there is a certain portion of our Activities Fee set aside to protect you from the one hundred and one different charity drives that drive through the. country in the course of a college year. This "Kiddies Christmas" deal has happily slipped thro ugh the protection again this year. According to the plan of things each table in the dining hall will supply a gift for the kids. So put your heart where your pocketbook is and chip in: after all most of us were kids once. (Looking around , it's sometimes hard to believe. ) :|: * * * * No Class Distinction . . . One way to get a thoroughly stupified look from an under-classman is to ask , "Are you a member of F.T.A. ? Then comes the answer. "How can I be? F.T.A. is only for Seniors, isn't it?" Well , the answer is nooo! Anyone, even people like Arnie Garringer, can be a member. This is no reflec tion on F.T.A.; they 're j ust tolerant , that's all. (Arnie , put down that gun ; you can always sue for libel. ) At any rate drop up ( this in itself is a neat trick) to Science Hall some Wednesday nite and make a downpayment on future. * * * * * Everything: but Old Kris Kringle . . . The social Rec. (No , this is an abbreviation ) Committee is sponsoring an All College Christinas Party tomorrow nite. 'Gonna have carols and such plus refreshments—both liquid and solid. (No, no, McLaughlin, j ust fruit punch and cupcakes). The eats are courtesy of the dining room runner (dietition to you). After the singing and all, Hank Marini , the poorman's Petrillo L will produce pastel music. (Gee, Hank, did I get this mixed up?) Better "be there ; I think all the celebrities like Don Bu tler and Pete Ferilli will be there. * * * * * . Now You Can Box Them . . . Most of us j ust ankle into the old Gym and sob and moan into the nearest willing (or unwilling) ear when we have a gripe. The owner of the ear probably has no more chance of changing things than Olive Oye has of looking like Jane Russell , but it makes no difference, as long as the pressure is off. If something is on the collective student mind (Didn 't know you could make a collection out of stuff like that, did you? ) , it should be placed in the newly constructed Suggestion Box in the Old Gym. This box is not a receptacle for old chewing gum wrappers, bright sayings from dull minds, old socks (I don't know how this item crept in; I must have been reading from my laundry list) , or worst of all used copies of the M & G. Don't crack wise; be wise. Box up those suggestions and send them to College Council. Maybe they can 't do everything you want, but when it comes to mulling things over, they sure can mull. * * * * * Now We Know Where It Went . . . If you 've ever tried to get the key into the lock in your room door up on fourth floor, W a ller Hall , and find yourself going blind in the process, you 've very likely emitted sounds resembling vile invective and wondered why it was so darkly lit. (It is an odd way of expressing it— but rather descriptive don't you think?) I think I know the answer. Aside from the fact that the incandescent lights don't incandesce, it occurs to me that they 've been storing electricity. For what ? Why, ye olde Carver Halle tower, of course. Notice the way she glows at night , well worth the darkness I would say, in fact , k.nda purty . f ^ «¦ * * * s|: The Origin of Things . . . Some time ago I gave the little guy with the big friends (very shrewd choice in friends for a gentlemen of his acid loquacity (Freshmen , if the verbage escapes you, check with J. Almus.) named Tony Rowley *, credit for the expression , "Nice Try". Since then 1 have learned that Jim Lesser brought that expression with him. My advice : Now that the thing has been worn threadbare, take it away. * Note: I didn 't think I'd get out on the other side of that first parentheses either. Jfllo osf e'S Jfrienb g (C ontinued from page 1) fin ally made a perfect two-runner landing on the snow-covered ground in fr ont. He carried a mysterious overstuffed sack, as he alighted from the sleigh and j oyously greeted the elfin throng. When they got inside, Santa complimented the elves on their colorful decorations but , then, his cheery smile turned to a look of dismay, and he said, "But Mistletoe, where 's the tree? " "Well , Sant a, we thought the tree was too big for us to handle, and were sure you'd help us to set it up." Santa doffed his big red and white coat , rolled up his sleeves, and assisted the bustling elves in raising the tree, which was placed in the center of the floor. An urn served as a base for the big pine. In no time at all the decorations were completed. Candy-Cane tuned his tiny violin , while Santa seated himself beside the tree. As the strains of "Rudolph , the Red-Nosed Reindeer " resounded throughout the lounge, the chattering elves formed a circle about the tree. When the tune changed to "All Around the Christmas Tree ," the happy group skipped about merrily. After dancing to several gay tunes, hard pine nectar was served by Mistletoe and his committee. Then Santa opened his big burlap sack while the curious little fellows gathered around him. Each elf received a brightly-wrapped package, and amid loud squeals of delight, they set about opening them. Biff , the night wat chman, was making his rounds, and as he passed the closed doors of the lounge, he heard music and laughing from within. Suspecting some student mischief , he tiptoed up to the door, stealthily unlocked it , and peered in. He rubbed hs eyes in amazement , and then looked asrain. "I'd better go and sit down ; these long hours are too much for me," he murmured. As he walked dazedly away from the lounge, he saw Jim Lesser and Tom Rowley returning from the downtown "night club". Biff motioned them toward the partly-opened doors. Lesser goggled in bewilderment , and Rowley stepped back startled , and muttered. "Ha, must be some of Moose 's friends!" Realizing that the elixer which they imbibed had no doubt affected th eir powers of vision , they sh uffled off to their little beds. As the nigh t wore on, the elfin company gaily celebrated Santa 's party. Like mock Cinderellas, when the clock struck five, they ended th eir gala affair , and each went about his j ob of removing the decorations. The elves scampered to the upper deck and while three acted as doormen , bidding each a "Good-night and Merry Christmas!", they flitted through the open door. They stood in the snow and watched Sant a's sleigh grow smaller and smaller as it disappeared in the distance. The following morning when Biff opened the lounge, his eyes bulged in disbelief as he observed pine needles scattered everywhere. Lesser can 't believe it , Rowley and "Moose " can't believe it , can you? (H.W . and C.A.) Geistwite Studios (Continued from page 2) accomplish something.
