PAGE SIX CLARION DECEMBER 9, 1950 Special Communique From North Pole Relates Standing Of Kids Living On Brevard Campus Now From the kitchen of the snug cottage came the tan talizing odor of spicy tea, accompanied by snatches of the song “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.” A plump, jolly woman was bustling around pouring the tea into cups and placing two sugar cookies on the saucer of e'ach cup, while at intervals, little elves would come in dodging between her feet to ask, “Have they come yet?” An air of expectancy hung over the house of Santa Claus and around the workshop, where could be heard sounds of last-minute preparations for the long ride that would soon take place. Santa’s helpers were each busy at their specified tasks. Final repairs were being made on sleds, wagons, and other toys. Doll beds, rocking chairs, and tea sets were receiving a last coat of paint. Two elves were busy packing gifts into a huge, black bag. One elf was pol ishing the runners of a red sleigh, while another was sewing bells onto a leather harness. Yet, oc cupied as they were, each elf v/ould look over his shoulder every few minutes, turn to his nearest neighbor and exclaim, “Surely they will arrive soon!” At last, a small elf, stationed at a far outpost of the Arctic Circle spied three small specks high in the sky. Cupping his hands to his mouth he turned to the north and shouted; “Here they come.” His call was taken up by the next sen try and relayed until it reached the gates of Santa Claus’ domain at the North Pole. From every building on the grounds poured little elves, who scampered to the living room of Santa’s home to hear the report of the last messengers to arrive from the United States, where they had boen checking on the activities of the girls and boys. These were the elves who had been to the campus of Brevard College. There they had spent several months peering around trees, looking down chim neys, and hiding behind doors, to observe the actions of the children New Constitution (Continued From Page One) of editor-in-chief of the CLARION, editor-in-chief of the Pertelote, and president of the student body each carry 12 activity points. The offices of business managers of the CLARION and Pertelote each car ry 10 points. Other organization offices count an established num ber of point, depending upon their importance. The student council has been working since the fourth week of school on the drafting of the new constitution, and they request the full co-operation of the student body in helping carry out the pro visions set forth in the new doc ument. Miss Louise Mosley is faculty adviser for the student council. on the campus. After warming themselves by the fire and gulping the hot tea the messengers handed to Santa Claus a long report of their find ings. “Hmmm,” observed the kindly, bespectacled gentleman, “So this is how they have been behaving? WeU, it looks as if the good out numbers ■ the bad by far. Now, take for instance the fact that Joby Stevenson had a rather hard time sitting still during Thanksgiv ing service. After all, he is migh ty young to understand all that we said, and he paid as close atten tion as could be expected. Be sides that, he put in several hours of hard work cutting the grass and raking leaves for his dad.” “Also I see that Brownie Ken nedy has accompanied her father to the CLARION staff room on occasion to keep him company while he checked copy and read over the next issue of the paper.” “And who could ask for a nicer big brother than Chip Andrews, who escorts his little sister, Jackie, around the campus so that she can have fun without being hurt or getting lost.” Jackie is big enough now so that she can push her tray along the cafeteria rail ing, making it easier for her mo ther.” “Susan Leete has already given her father his biggest Christmas gift by joining him at Ross Hall so that his family is together for Christmas.” , “These children,” continued old Santa, “have already found the joy that comes for unselfish giving, so harness up the rsindeer and pack the sleigh! Before many more hours I must be off on my trip around the world. Merry Christ mas!” “He made an unusually good af ter dinner speech.” “What did he say?” “He said: Waiter, give me the check.” Staff Announces Latest Additions Editor Jean Parrish has announc ed this issue as the last CLARION for the first semester. She explain ed that after the Christmas holi days examination schedules will conflict with the printing of the CLARION. At the same time, a list of new appointments to the CLARION were presented.
