ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD 3 BISHOP TUTTLE SCHOOL There is no better way of reijorting alumni news than letting the graduates speak for them selves. Here are extracts from letters written to the Tuttle School by some of the alumnae. Sayde I). George, ’28, Xew School for Xegvo Girls, Glenburnie, Maryland: I have about sixty little homesick children ranging in ages from twelve to eighteen. opened our school December 1st and I have al ready become very fond of “my kids.” Effie M. Richards, ’28, Church Mission of Help, Newark, Kew Jersey: Did I tell you that I was elected to full (senioi) membership in the American Association of Social Workers ? I made application for Junior Mem bership and was asked to make application for full membership. Enclosed herewith is $2.00 foi the piano, one dollar for membership fee—so when I come down to visit the Community House thej will not be able to turn up their noses at me with iny membershi]) card in hand. I found in an urticle in the "Spirit of Missions” many things that will 1 am sure be of inspiration and help to some of my girls. 1 am ever looking for some thing which 1 can pass on to them. Minnie I. Williams, ’29, Supervisor, Public Welfare, Durham, North Carolina: What joy and happiness you gave me on inj unexpected visit! I feared once that I would leel strange within the walls of Bishop luttle, ^vlt i all of you new, but I didn’t in the least. Iheie Jiro only new faces and names carrying on the spirit and the home atmosphere that I know, feel sure you are just as happy as we were. Rosa B. AVilliams, ’30, Emergency Relief, High Roint, North Carolina: I do hope that you are continuing your prajers for the graduates of Bishoi) Tuttle. I often thin ' of the beautiful prayer and then 1 get couiage to Iteep on working. ^lae 1). Hohnes, ’30, State Home for Girls, Trenton, New Jersey: It certainly was a pleasure to have the oppoi tunity to say hello to the Tuttle School, im en closing $4.00 to be used for the piano at the Gen tie (or wherever it is most needed, if too late for the piano), and $1.00 for the Tuttle School Lenten Oilering. Elizabeth J. Johnson, ’30, Home Care for De pendent Children, Tublic Welfare, District of Columbia: Of course I am very much in favor of paying ineinbersliip dues at the Centre. I am only too glad to contribute anything to my school. I want you to feel free to call upon me to do my any time. Depression is upon us but I still trj to plan so that I can include all necessary expendi tures. I should like very much to keep in touch with activities at the Community Centre and cer tainly hope yon will write me from time to time. I am working in the Division of Home Caie foi Dependent Children, under the Board of Public Welfare of the District of Columbia. I show the mothers why they must keep their budgets and how to spend their allowance to the best advant age. I go to see how they keep house, whether they are buying right, how their health is, how they are overcoming the adolescent and its prob lems and to urge attendance at clinics, etc. I have nothing to offer but suggestions and nothing to temjjt them into doing as they should but kind words. CHRISTMASTIDE ON THE CAMPUS Candlelioht Cakol Skrvice The Choral Club presented a varied and inter esting program on Sunday, Christmas Eve, at 4:30, when the annual candlelight Christmas Carol Service was given. Not only were the tra ditional carols rendered but Bach, Handel, Schu bert and Beethoven were well represented on the program. A chorale from Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio,” and the stirring chorus “And the Glory of the Lord,” from Handel’s Messiah comprised the open group. “Carol of the Russian Children” was a novel arrangement of a Russian folk song; with its rugged rhythm and its queer admixture of major and minor, it proved extremely interesting, from the musical point of view. The “Shepherd’s Christmas Song”, an Austrian carol of the eigh teenth century, was one of the high lights. A Negro spiritual, “Go tell it on the mountains,” breathed the true Christmas spirit. The majestic chorus, “Hallelujah to God’s Almighty Son,” from Beethoven’s Mount of Olives, closed the program. At twilight tapers placed throughout the festively decorated chapel were lighted. The processional was followed by prayers. The large audience of students and visitors joined in the singing of the Christmas hymns. Comments on the music were very enthusiastic and encouraging. The choral club is under the direction of Mr. L. T. Caldwell. —L.T.C. and C.D.H. Nativity Scene The annual presentation of the Nativity Scene took place on the Saturday before Christmas. The play was written and arranged by Miss Eliza J. Baker, a retired member of the staff, and has been presented annually for about twenty years. This year’s was a particularly successful renewal, un der the direction of Miss Mary E. Johnston of the Preparatory Department staff. Miss Baker was present. •
