Rita Grice Is Crowned MissSummit for 60-61 In the soft glow of candle light Dean Joseph M. Parsons crowned Rita Grice Miss Summit for nine teen hundred and sixty one.

There were pas sages of scripture read by Sue Bau mann, and Patricia Wooten read a story by Rachel Field en titled All Through The Night. It is the Christmas story as told by a wise old dog. Immediately follow- \ Christinas Hmage By Dr. Glenn L. Bushey If one were to ask a student of history to name the event that most profoundly influenced the develop ment of western civilization, he would probably list the Birth of Christ. Christianity has been called the greatest single influence for good in the history of western civilization. For this, all of us have cause for thankfulness. Yes, there is reason for all of us to be joyful. If we can put into practice effectively the prin ciples of Christianity, the words, “Peace on earth, good will toward men” will become more than just a phrase to be sung at Christmas. A whole new era in the relationships existing between men and nations will be born. In our quest for joy during the Yuletide season, I would urge that we not lose sight of the real meaning of Christmas. Let us re-dedicate ourselves to the service of mankind in accordance with the principles of Christianity and give thanks to Christ for His great gift to the world. May I wish for every student and faculty member, and their families, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ing the story Mr. Perry sang O Holy Night accompanied by Miss Phyllis Hampton at the piano. After the serious part of the pro gram, it was time for jolly old St. Nicholas to appear. He had many surprises in his sack for the children from the orphanage, and a lot of gaiety for everyone. The party ended with lots of refreshments, traditional carols sung by all, and the warm feeling that no one had been neglected.
