Tuesday, December 17, 1929. t HE S A L fe M I T E PAGE THREE SOCIETY m CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES ’Ray for Christmas! The real old time Christmas spirit came to the front during the annual Christmas banquet for the Seniors. This en joyable affair was given on Satur day evening in the college dining room, and it was fittingly followed by the traditional Christmas party which took place in the campus living room. The dining room was decorated with festive streamers of red( and green. Gaily colored lights added to the gala appearance of the Attractive place cards were used for the honor guests—the faculty and the seniors. The Salem Syncopat ing Serenaders furnished delightful music throughout the entire meal. A novel and entertaining solo dered by Miss Sue Jane Mauney, versatile orchestra-leader, on her unique instrument, as yet unnamed. A delicious meal was served, and was accorded due attention by the guests. Elizabeth Allen, president of the junior class, proposed the toast to the seniors, and the senior president, Fritz Firey, responded. Dr. Rondthaler and Miss Stipe gave •short talks “which were applauded long and loudly by the dutiful audi ence,” as Dr. Rondthaler would say. Mary Brewer conducted songs and cheers with her usual vivacity and vim and with the apparently whole- Iiearted support of the diners. Having ended this phase of the evening by singing the “Alma Mat er,” the guests dispersed until time for the party. The Christmas party was attend ed by Santa Claus, in person. He presented each one of the faculty with suitable and useful gifts, giving them with fitting and extremely ty speeches. Mr. Curlee got a lovely bottle of hair tonic. Dr. Anscombe a luxurious Ford, and Miss Collins got a real shiek to offer competition the “Only One.” Santa Claus ^ applauded by all the starry-eyed and breathless young Salem children. After his departure, Elizabeth Rond thaler sang two lovely solos, “Syl via,” and “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life.” Also, The Salem Syncopat ing Serenaders furnished music for the occasion. Fruit cake and am brosia were served by several mem bers of each class, and this, together witli Dr. Rondthaler’s facetious re marks from the rear of the room, added to the gaiety of the festivities.

Out side snow was floating down in large soft flakes. Everywhere there was snow; tlie grass huts resembled small snowy hills. In front of one of the huts a group of native chil dren were playing, frisking happily about in their short grass skirts. They were shouting joyously be tween sneezes. Other children were sliding down a small waterfall that had turned to ice, they used dried palm branches as sleds. Others were skating on a pool below the fall that had frozen over, they used cocoanuts attached to their feet for skates. Their dark bodies looked darker than ever against the white One by one the children were called to their hale lee-lees, which translated means small huts. Dark ness was approaching and it was kakau (dinner) time. Little Opu left the snow man she as making, she brushed the snow oil her arms and legs and from be tween her toes. She entered her hut and sat on the floor in front of the evening meal. She proceeded to the food before her with her fin gers (this custom is still practised). “Tonight,” began her mother, “is what is known in civilized countries Christmas Eve.” “Welekakau Kamahamaha is coming,” cried Opu, her dark eyes widening and her white teeth flashing, “he will bring me what I want.” Welekakau means Merry Christmas and Kamahamaha is the Hawaiian Santa Claus. Here I awoke, I glanced outside but could see no snow. It wi clear moonlit night. The leafy trees outside cast lovely shadows upon the green terrace. A great silvery e shone down. Soon I heard Hawai ian melodies sung by native men women accompanied by string struments. The musicians sang for a few minutes then called happily in unison, “Merry Christmas!” and left. Music, Christmas trees, stock ings and Santa Claus, I thought, “Christmas in Hawaii is like Christ mas on tlie mainland except that our Hawaiian Christmas is a green Christmas.” Sweet of Her.
