SANTA CLAUS! There is little that can be compared to the
joy that children feel when they see the Jolly Ole Elf. The
man underneath can be Bob Jones or Cecil Willis, but when
he is dressed as Santa the spirit of Christmas he expresses
it always the same. This spirit was never felt more than at
the Christmas party for the Deaf School Children which was
held in the classroom building on Saturday. (Photo by Dwight

Christmas Vespers
To Be Held Sunday
Good Try, But No Use
Recess Remains Same
Deaf School
Given Party
Dwight Wagner, SGA president,
reported to the Executive Board
on Monday night that he felt
the Christmas party for the Deaf
School children was very suc
cessful. He quoted the director
of the school as saying that this
would probably be the best part
of Christmas for many of these
children. Mr. Willis was the star
of the show in his red suit and
white beard.
It was also reported to the
Board that the amendment to
change the Executive Board
meetings from every week to
twice monthly had been passed
by the student body.
A motion by Steve Swinson,
Junior class president, to have
the Executive Board give $130 to
buy gifts for the custodial help
of the college did not pass. How
ever, it was moved that the
Board send suitable greetings to
these personnel.
Dwight Wagner presented the
idea of having a high school
“college-bowl.” The bowl would
be sponsored by the Student Gov
ernment Association and would
be set up similar to the college
bowl on T.V. He expressed the
feeling that this would also be
beneficial to the college in that
it would bring large numbers of
high school students to the cam
pus, thus possibly stimulating in
terest in these students towards
applying at ACC. It would also
make the college better known
among the surrounding high
schools.
Barry Havens reported that he
and Clay Brown, day student sen
ator, will be meeting with the

SGA Dance
The Student Government Asso
ciation will sponsor a Christmas
Dance on Friday, December 16.
The dance will be held in the
Classroom BuildiBg lobby and
will last from 8 p.m. to 12. T^e
dress is semi-formal, admission
is free, and refreshments will
be served. “Guitar” Kimber and
the Untouchables will provide the
music.
During the past few years a
Christmas Vespers service has
been held on campus on the Sun
day preceding the Christmas re
cess. Again this year this ser
vice will be held in Howard
Chapel at 4:00 p.m. A very in
spiring and beautiful service has
been planned.
The service will be opened
with an introit by the College
Chorus. This will be followed by
the singing of a carol by the
congregation as the chorus pro
cesses into the chapel. Following
an invocation and prayer the
Atlantic Christian College Vo
cal Ensemble will sing “To Us
Is Born Immanuel” by Michael
Praetorius. The remainder of
the first part of the service will
consist of various pieces of
Christmas music presented by
the college chorus and the vocal
ensemble. Among the pieces that
the chorus will present will be
“He Is Born,” a French carol
arranged by Roger Wagner;
“Mexican Christmas proces
sion,” arranged by Paul Chris
tiansen; and “Rejoice and be
Merry,” arranged by Marlowe
Johnson. The Vocal Ensemble
will also add a few of the more
familiar carols to the program.
The final part of the service
will be the singing of Johann
Sebastian Bach’s Cantata of
Christmas by the college chorus
under the direction of James V.
Cobb. Members from the Cham
ber Orchestra from East Caro
lina College and members of the
Atlantic Christian College Brass
Ensemble will provide the ac
companiment for the Cantata.
Mr. Charles Rakow wll play the
organ accompaniment. Soloist
will be Bill Griffin and Mrs.
Jean Brown.
The various groups participat
ing in this service have been
working for several weeks so
that this service may be a
meaningful experience for all
who attend. And it is hoped that
all students, faculty and admin
istration will make every effort
to be in attendance.

tended by two days was pre
sented to the council in the
form of a petition signed by
622 individuals, most of whom
are recognized as members of
the student body. In making its
decision, the council polled all
available department chairmen
and a large number of faculty
members. Several factors haye
come to light as a result of the
investigation.
Atlantic Christian College is a
fully accredited institution. The
rule of thumb with the accredit
ing associations is that a bare
minimum of 45 class sessions,
exclusive of any examination pe
riod, be maintained each se
mester. It is generally accepted
among most educators that a
standard semester shall be com
posed of 48 class sessions, ex
clusive of the examination pe
riod. Atlantic Christian College
is operating its fall semester on
the bare minimum. Should two
additional days be granted for
the Christmas ecess, it would
then become necessary to make
up the time following the holiday
period. This would make it nec
essary to hold classes on the
Reading Day requested by the
Student Government Association
and also to hold classes for
the entire day and evening on
one Saturday. It appears that
too many faculty members and
student organizations have pre
vious commitments to make it
feasible to hold classes on Sat
urday.
