AGNEW DECEMBER 17, 1937 Cattie Chadder To Sallie Snoop Christmas week is the high point in the festivities of the loveliest of all holidays. All Queens-Chicora students will leave the college and go to their homes for the holidays. May the few days before Christmas be happy, although busy, days for each girl. Tliis week before Christmas holds more magic than even Christmas day, for it is a time when all preparations seem to work up to a blissful climax. The fragrant spiciness of the fresh balsam and pine brings thoughts of frankincense and myrrh. How wonderful, as we celebrate every year the birth of our King, that there is an air of expectancy, of something about to happen, as on the Christmas Eve so long ago. That this Christmas season may hold for each Queens-Chicora student the true Christmas spirit and great joy and peace is the sincere Christmas wish from Dean Agnew to the students. Dear Sallie: Naturally, I fairly devoured all the news in your epistle and now chew my pencil to bits to get some tidbits (hmm-catch on?) that will enlighten you on the campus situation as I see it.

How we all thrill at the very expectation of that wonder ful day—which brings with it giving and receiving. And there is nothing more fitting than we should give and receive in His name on that day when all Christians bow before the manger. In that far off day with the light From the looks—or should I say of the star guiding them, the shep- feel—of the weather‘(at least while herds came bearing gifts to Christ’s this is being written) it should be a manger—gifts made priceless by the snowy Christma.s—and what fun! But love that went with them. When we rain, shine, snow, it’s always a gay have achieved just such a manner of Christmas! giving and receiving we can listen to the Angel’s song with peace in our Oh, so soon, restless rustling silks I 9,5 they sing “Glory to God in and taffetas will be sweeping along | Highest.” Georgie Underwood ring-figured it at V. M. I. (Did you really get kissed right there in front of every body, Georgie?) This military glamor must really have what it takes, for Betty Shull and Lib Gammon skipped up North to view with alarm (or something) the situation at Anna polis and Philadelphia (Army-Navy game). It must have been one grand whoop-la! Speaking of brass-button glamor, Nancy Hovis had a gorgeous trip to New York some weeks back for the Army-Notre Dame fracas— and to polish the Fall frolicing off— tripped to Vanderbilt for Thanksgiv ing. Another smooth jaunt some time ago I thought miglit interest you, Sally—Pedie Burde took in Virginia openings with Hamp, the one and only. By the way, have you seen that gorgeous photograph of her at St. John’s? A professional model if ever I saw one. Maybe we have an other Claire Hazel in our midst!

And this is what you 11 dance to. Those tunes that will bring a reminiscent starry gleam to your eyes weeks after Christmas has come ind gone. CHRISTMAS GREETING Tlic soft, sweet strains of beautiful Christmas carols accompanied by the pungent fragrance of cedar and the flickering light of candles are once again weaving a magic spell of enchantment over us all. Once again we who have the advantages of Christian homes and back ground pause to adore the greatest King of all times the Christ Child. For over nineteen hundred years the universal sentiment at each Christian season has been “Peace on earth, good will to men.” With this thought uppermost in our mind, the staff sincerely wishes you all a very happy holiday season. “An Old Flame Never Dies” , j . 1 velvet torch song . . . “You Can’t Stop Body witnessed what appeared to be Me From Dreaming” . . . catchy ... I a miracle in the dining room. First, “In The Still Of The Night” “Following yonder star”—with the Christmas season here, we sing these words, having in our minds a clear picture of the three wise men traveling to the birthplace of the Baby .lesus. Over field and fountain, moor and mountain tliey traveled to reach the lowly manger where the Christ Child lay. As we go to our homes to be with our families and celebrate the birth of Christ and greet the New Year, why not apply this phrase to ourselves? Are we wandering aimlessly through our college life or do we have a definite destination surrounded by high ideals and purity of thought and deed? Do we enjoy Christmas because it is a time of fun and frolic, free from all care or because once again we can rejoice that He came to save us? There is no better time than the coming of a new year to raise our eyes to the resplendent heavens and seek our star. With this thought, we can indeed sing with a deeper meaning the inspiring words “following yonder star.” The stafi' is so excited about Christmas that it almost forgot that close on the heels of that wonderful day and before we have a chance to see you again, all of us will be helping to push bearded old 1937 off this ‘mortal coll, and welcoming a new baby so wrapped in tangled bright streamers that we can't see how he really looks. Jn blind faith we’l accept him; we’ll christen him with much gayety; and when we’re too sleepy to move, take the little fellow home with us. We know that the growing maturity of the little stranger holds somehing dlft'erent for each one of us. Our year may be as bright as the red streamer, as beautiful as the blue, or as sad as the black. To each one of us belongs the right, whatever color may be given us, to grow along with the baby 1938. And so the staff wishes you, not a hapjiy New Year, but the ability to grow stronger by whatever experiences do come to you. Double Trouble Were we seeing double or did it really happen?

Senior Superlativ'es were elected not long ago, and all turned out beau tifully. You know, Sallie, I feel sorry for Ora Lee. Wouldn't it be a pres sure to be witty all the time just because you were elected the wittiest?

Spied Caddie Willis, the Con cord Whiz, at Davidson wearing a favorite combination—bright red vel vet with white fox fur around the shoulders. She designed it herself! I heard that Grace Clark was re ceiving a visitor from Rockingham the other afternoon! How long has this been going on, Sally? And Dame Rumor would have it that a certain Phi Mu sophomore is very, very interested in a young Davidson scholar and vice-versa. Ah-ha! Wish I could be specific. Jane Wiley will be maid-of-honor at May Court—isn't that grand? She w’ill be a lovely one. There are three bits of news that I know you’ll be sorry to hear as we all are. Pedie and Lois Hodges have both been operated on for appendi citis—Pedie at the Charlotte Sana torium and Lois at St. Peter’s. Jean Ferguson, badly hurt in two car ac cidents, is in the hospital recovering. I’d better begin to pack now'— isn’t it thrilling? Christmas is here at last! Can you believe it, Sally? Keep your eyes open for news of the holidays and tell me about it all when we come back — unhappy thought. Hope Santa is good to you! Ever your informative and gossipy CATTIE CHADDER. P.
