This Is aa annual custom which not only gladdens the hearts of the shut-ins at the sani- toriuni. but also gives a spe<’ial pleasure to the members of the group who go there to sing. The other two groups go on two routes mapp**d out each year by Miss Ward. These trips are routed to include the professors' homes, and the homes of some of the shut-ins here iu town. After a singing all three groups gather back at school for hot chocolate and cook ies. From this event the men con tinue to celebrate by going to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Hllley, where the men are entertained each year at Christmas. Perhaps because the men have no dormi tories, Christmas is the tradition al ^ason for the men to l>e In vited to the president's home. The women and faculty members are invited at other times during the year. The Hllley’s party ends the festivities for Thursday night, but there is more on Friday. On that night, the seventeenth, is the girls' dorm party. This is also a yearly event. The girls meet In Kinsey parlor where refreshments are served, and each hall In Kin sey gives a skit and each floor in Caldw'ell gives one.
