Kvery year b«‘fore sthool let*
out for Christmas Holidays, one
niKht Is Ht*t aside for the slnKlng
of carols. This year It la Decem

T . I the Banltorlum to sing to the pa
m Lewis of Wilson, was spon-
tients. 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. The skita are
Judged and the winners receive a
prize, usually a large cake. Thlsj
party takes place at ten o’clock
to give all the girls a chance to
be there.

The it the the ttudenlt of Atlantic Chriitian College have
been bringing to under privileged children of If ilton for the patt

of the project at “Miu Ward"! Children”,
The firtt feeling of a feitive, holiday moodt comet for ut when we
hear Mill Ward announce that the hat two or three hundred children
the withet ut to adojil for a day. And, eagerly, the ttudenlt ruth to
claim their child —whether it'i a three-year-old girl or a boy of nine.
The aim of the ttudenlt it to tee that each child hat a Chriitmai
fMirkage to bring them care-free joy for the holiday teaton; therefore,
they make their gift a toy or tomelhing for [ileatute, whether it be a
big, red truck or a tel of color-bookt.
Thit leaton, the giflt will be ditplayed in the chapel on the evening
of the fifteenth, at which time the Olee Club and .Stage and Script
pretenlt a Chrittmat Fageant. After the program, they will be collected
by the /ayCeet who will entertain the children at a parly where the
gift! will be diitributed.
And to, another holiday teaton will be made brighter- Heliefi in
