Dear Santa:
We are in a terrible fix
We need some “Air Wicks”
And not just for kicks
The smell up here
From those sardines below
Is somethin’ thats’ —
Just GOTTA GO!
Love,
Edna, Nancy, Barbara and
Mary Frances
P. S. We have been good.

Dear Edna, Nancy, Barbara, and
Mary Frances:
I’m sorry that you have such terrible
problems, but I’m glad to say that I think
I can help you. Because you’ve been such
good girls, and because your unique let
ter rates a reward, I’m going to bring you
four clothespins for Christmas—for your
noses.
Love,
Santa
Dear Santa:
I have been a good girl this year, both
at Montreat and at home. Now, the thing
I want most for Christmas is an “Arm
strong Heater,” which may be obtained
from Columbia. Please try hard, Santa.
I’m freezin’.
Margaret L.
Dear Santa:
Please bring Peggy some sleeping pills
so she will sleep soundly at night, and
not walk in her sleep and wake me.

Dear Polly:
Up ’til now I haven’t tried being a doctor,
but there’s no time like this to begin. A
home remedy that might help is to tie her
toes to the bed posts. This has a tendency
to make sleep walking a little difficult.
Sympathetically yours,
Santa

Dear Santa:
Sylvia likes sailors so well that I have
decided I want one for Christmas. Can
you help me out?
Betty Jane Evans
Dear Betty Jane:
Quite a “tidy” wish you made! I don’t
have one on hand right now, but will bring
you a pair of “bell-bottom” trousers in
stead. I hope that you don’t “sea” fit to
be “sick” of my substitution.
Sorrowfully,
Santa
Dear Santa:
So as to be good to us all, why not bring
Montreat College some men?
“More Men for Montreat” Holcomb
Dear Margaret:
This I can’t promise until a bit after
New Year’s. You might check by “that
city” around January 4 for developments.
Good luck,
Santa
Dear M. M. M. Holcomb:
What would you do with them?
them under “M” for miscellaneous?
Santa
File
Dear Santa:
All I want for Christmas is for you to fill
Jack’s stocking full of candy kisses and
tell him when you fly over North Africa
that I love him. Then will you bring all
the Howertonians a very Merry Christmas
so that they’ll be good and quiet when
they come back after the holidays?
“Mabe”
★
Dear “Mabe”:
You’ve been a good girl so I’ll surely
give Jack your message along with the
kisses. And about the Howerton girls, don’t
worry too much. Approaching exams will
probably quiet some of their noise by re
quiring a transformation from party girls
to book worms.
Helpfully yours,
Santa
Dear Understanding Santa Claus:
We are nine, known as the “Complex
Class” because of our unique personalit
ies. Being so individually different and re
served, we just ask you to use your own
judgement as to our gifts.
Thanks, Santa,
The Seniors
Dear Little Complexes:
I hope my gifts make you forget your
evil associates (the complexes), and help
you to have a Merry Christmas.
I’ll send these special delivery by Ru
dolph: To Mary Ann, eight hours extra in
every day from now until her concert so
she’ll have time to practice; To Frances C.,
a coin to flip—she has to decide WHICH
ONE someway; To Colleen, a French Man
(that should solve everything); To Faye,
Jim; To Frankie, an ice pond so she can
use her skates; To Pat, a dozen little nieces
so she’ll have something to talk about; To
Helen, stacks of stationery in preparation
for her 1953 epistles to “Colleague”; To
Martha, some spectacles so she can get
a better view of “Mama Kissing Santa
Claus”; and to Jolene, two Wednesday
nights and two weekends in every week, so
she can have extended communion with
the Air Force.
Sincerely,
Santa
P. S. I’m bringing a cushion for Mr.
Green, your sponsor. I thought it would
come in handy during class meetings.

Mon cher Santa:
Je veux un homme. C’est tout.
Merci beaucoup,
Colleen
Dear Colleen:
111 do my best to find one to fit in
your stocking, but I feel it my duty to
warn you that he may not stay long un
less you watch your language!
Sincerely,
Santa
Dear Santa:
Please bring Betty Raye some bigger
blue jeans. Hers are too little.
Thanks,
Polly
Dear Santa:
I have been a real good girl all(most)
the time, and if you wall only help me
lose 5 pounds, and bring me Sonny, I will
give you a great big kiss.
Love, Kathy
P. S. My roommate, Ruth, has been good
too, so please bring her an airman.
Dear Polly:
I consider this situation dangerous! Look
for me EARLY Christmas Eve.
Sincerely,
Santa
Dear Kathy:
I always like to grant wishes of “good
ittle girls, but you’re a real problem,
since you want to lose weight, ’cause that
means I better not bring you any candy.
Don’t worry, though. I’ll send Uncle Sam
a letter telling him to let a certain fella
have a day off.
As for your roommate, I wonder if she
wouldn’t get a civil war started if I sent
her an air force man. After all, there is
a slight tinge of jealousy among the diff
erent branches of Uncle Sam’s service.
Sincerely, Santa
Dialette
