Santa And Sophs Plan Party For All Santa Claus and his helpers, the Sophomore class, will be at Anderson Auditorium Saturday night, December 19, to deliver presents to the Montreat College girls. Everyone drew names on the seventh, and the “angels” have since been performing good deeds for their “mortals.” The Sophomores want to keep most of their plans a secret, but hey have admitted that there’ll 'oe a Christmas tree with all the immings and plenty of enter- ainment. Old Legend Inspires Consecration Service Once, a long time ago, a very good king celebrated his birth day. All his servants were invited to a feast in honor of the occas ion; and to show their stainless 'oyalty and devotion to him, they all brought white gifts — the symbol of purity and love. This old legend was the basis for the inspiring consecration service held at vesper time last night. In T, we were challenged to bring our bodies, minds, and wills, as the perfect token of the birthday of our King — Jesus Christ. Choir And Glee Club To Siner Carols From Many Lands One of the highlights of the Christmas season will be the pro gram of Christmas music present ed by the College Choir, under the direction of Miss Elidabeth Woodhouse, and the High School Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Lee Haney.
