It’ Friday
Bright and early December 18 at
5:30 A.M., the members of the sen
ior class will crawl cheerily out of
their beds and go to Penick Par
lor for coffee and doughnuts before
they leave at 6:00 A.M. to go carol
ing. Christmas caroling is a tradi
tion carried out by the senior class
each year on the morning Christ
mas vacation begins. Some of the
jdaces they will serenade are the
Guerrys’, the Stones’, and the
apartments across from St. Mary’s
campus where several members of
the faculty live.
For the past few years the sen
iors, after caroling, have come back
to school; have awakened the sleep
ing freshmen, so]>homores, juniors,
and commercials; and have beaten
them with magazines and newspa
pers on their way to breakfast.
This year, however, the senior class
feels that a few changes should be
made in order to avoid the boister
ousness and harassing which, in
some instances, has gotten out of
hand.
The senior class has decided that
all students who are not seniors
must come to breakfast dressed as
follows: with heels, stockings,
gloves, earings, hats, and church
dresses. No school skirts, sweat
shirts, or ridiculous costumes will
be allowed. There will be a judging
committee composed of the entire
senior class which will see that
these specifications are carried out.
A severe penalty will be given to
anyone not abiding by these re
quirements.

Shepherds,” arranged by Zoltan

ranged a traditional Hungarian
carol of his jieojde, to create the

angels’ song and then hastening to
Bethlehem with gifts for the Christ
Child.
“Christmas decorations w'ere hung
with the greatest of care.
While everyone was dressed for
this great event there.”
The Reinlyn House at Glenwood
Village was invaded Wednesday
night, December 9, by the excited
Senior class and their honored
guests. This event was, of course,
the Senior Class Banquet.
