AUGUSTINE’S The Christmastide activities on the campus at St. Augustine’s College, while reflecting the gen eral attitude of jollity and festivity, also tend to convey the deeper meaning of the Nativity. The high point of the season is the choral communion service at nine o’clock on Christmas morning. This year the worshippers found the chapel taste fully decorated for the service, as usual. A large number of communicants joined heartily in all parts of the service. The Dramatic Club opened the Christmastide program with three plays in Taylor Hall on De cember 20th. All had themes based on the spirit of the season, and all were well acted and well received. On the Sunday before Christmas, the Choral Club presented the annual Candlelight Christmas Carol Service in the chapel. As the hour ap proached members of the choral club lit the candles scattered throughout the chapel, and the service began with the processional, “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.” The program included numbers from Bach, Praetorius, Mabel Daniels, and Horatio Parker. Traditional airs from many lands, including Negro spirituals, were heard. Christmas Eve was reserved, as usual, for the Nativity Scene, arranged years ago by Miss Eliza Baker, a staff member since retired and now liv ing in Raleigh. The spectacle tells in songs and tableaux the simple story of the birth of Christ. In keeping with the true spirit of Christmas several classes and organizations presented gifts of money at the morning chapel service on December 23rd, to be used for some worthy charity.
