In Tuneful Carol
On Thursday night, December
12, at eight o’clock the Education
Club entertained the First and
Second Grades of the Methodist
Orphanage at a Christmas party
in the Hut. The party was
planned by Miriam Hill, presi
dent of the Club, assisted by Dor
othy Clarke, chairman of the
Decorations Committee, Jean
Maddry, chairman of the Re
freshments Committee, Dorothy
Cooper, Chairman of the Pro
gram Committee, and Angeline
Shields, Chairman of the Clean
up Committee.
The children and Miss Mary
Ferree, who was in charge of
them, were brought from the Or
phanage to the Hut by Mr. B. Y.
Tyner, Mr. Harry K. Dorsett, and
Miss Lila Bell, who are the Club
sponsors. The lighted Christmas
tree and other decorations in the
Hut gave an atmosphere of
Christmas. Hot chocolate was
served to the guests and club
members. Group singing under
the direction of Nancy Dickens
was a part of the evening’s pro
gram. The movie. The Night Be
fore Christmas, was shown, and
during the evening pictures were
taken. Especially for the chil
dren a highlight of the program
was the visit of Santa Claus
(Mr. Walter Cole in everyday
life), who gave each child a gift
consisting of candy, oranges,
nuts and a jump rope.
A thoroughly delightful and
entertaining book is Oscar Le
vant’s A Smattering of Igno
rance. The book consists of his
very frank but humorous opin
ions concerning musicians of the
day as well as incidents of his
own life and his friends,
i His treatment of the conduc
tors is harsh—even insulting, but
with a semblance of truth as seen
in his remark of Stokowski: “I
i would like to have been present,
[if I could have my choice of all
; moments in musical history,
when Stokowski suddenly be
came conscious of his beautiful
hands. That must have been a
[moment. Like stout Cortez on a
iplate in Darien (I know it was
'Balboa) he saw before him a lim-
jitless expanse, a whole uncharted
sea that might be subject to his
influence, free from the encum
brance of a baton.”
One of the larger sections of
the book is given over to his
friendship with George Gersh
win in which he pays a lovely
tribute to this friend and com
poser. He spent many hours in
the Gershwin household work
ing and composing and came to
know George intimately.
The last pages of the book are
devoted to the up and coming
American composers with par
ticular emphasis on the work of
Aaron Copland. Emily Hine

The Christmas season brings
the occasion of observing Stu
dent Night at Christmas, a serv
ice which is becoming more and
more a vital part of the students’
Christmas activities.
The programs are sent out
ahead of time to the schools and
colleges in order that students
may prepare the program in ad
vance of the holidays, and be
come acquainted with the ob
jectives of observing Student
Night. The emphasis and the
message of the program reaches
out to include high school stu
dents, parents, and other leaders
of the home church; thus bring
ing the college and other school
students back into the welcome
atmosphere of the home church.
Each student has something to
offer for the success of the Stu
dent Night program of his
church. The program needs par
ticipants of all kinds. Meredith
students want to share such an
opportunity to bring their col
lege B.S.U. to their home
churches.
Information concerning pre
programs and other suggestions
for a successful Student Night
may be obtained through the
B.S.U.

What does Christmas mean to
you? Going home, last-minute
shopping, odd-shaped packages,
and guests? Doesn’t Christmas
mean more than these? Does it
not recall anew the beautiful
story of our Christ, of his birth?
Do you not thrill to the songs we
often sing about the Christ to the
Christmas carols?
Do you know what a carol is?
It is a song or hymn of deep joy.
Let’s look at a few of our well-
known and loved Christmas
carols.
“Joy to the World, the Lord
is Come” was written in 1719
by Isaac Watts. Although he
lived in an age when religion
was formal and expression re
served, Watts wrote with enthu
siasm and real joy. This beauti
ful carol is a paraphrase of the
last six verses of the ninety-
eighth Pslam.
Sing choirs of angels, sing in ex
ultation
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven
, above;
Glory to God, all glory in the
highest:
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born
this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in fiesh
appearing:
Perhaps the best loved of all
carols is “Silent Night.” The
words and music were written
by two Germans in 1818. Joseph
Mohr, an assistant pastor at
Oberdorf, wrote the poem “Stille
Nacht.” Later the same night he
recognized the words of his poem
being sung to a beautiful mel
ody, which his friend, Franz
Gruber, had been inspired to
write. At a simple Christmas
service the real spirit of love and
service was the impetus for these
beautiful words:
Joy to the World, the Lord is
come:
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him
room.
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the World, the Saviour
reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and fioods, rocks,
hills, and plains.
Repeat the sounding joy.
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin Mother and
Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night.
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
“Alleluia! hail the King!
Christ the Saviour is born.
No more let sin and sorrows
grow.
Nor thorns infe=t the ground:
He comes to make his blessings
flow
Far as the curse is found.
Silent night, holy night.
Guiding star, lend thy ligh+^ •
See the Eastern v.fiae men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Christ the Saviour is born.
He rules the world wtih truth
and grace.
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.
Silent night, holy night.
Wondrous stars, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Christ the Saviour is born.
Adeste Fideles, or as we bet
ter know it, “O Come, All Ye
Fatihful,” is an old hymn first
used in the Roman Catholic
Church. It’s exact author and
date are unknown; however,
there have been many trans
lations of it from the Latin.
The one we most often use is
that of Frederic Oakley.
O come, all ye faithful, joyful
and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Beth
lehem;
Come and behold him, born the
King of angels:
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him,
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

which is an Arctic treat. Mrs.
Santa does the cooking and
makes beautiful fur rugs out of
many of the hides from the wild
game.
Santa spends all the year get
ting ready to make other people
happy at Christmas. I could
hardly imagine someone work
ing in a shop every day and many
nights making things to give
away, but that is exactly what
Santa Claus does, and he is just
about the happiest person I have
ever met. I asked him to give me
a special message for all the
Meredith girls. He laughed and
said he loved them all and
wished them every one a Merry
Christmas.
