Seniors To Sing
To Underclassmen
No, Santa Claus and his rein
deer are not making an early
round it s just the early morning
echoes of the seniors, caroling to
herald the arrival of Dec. 18.
Traditionally every year, the sen
iors drag themselves out of bed
about 5 a.m., pile into warm
clothes, and serenade the faculty
and students .around the campus
with Christmas songs. Then
happy but frozen, they conclude
their caroling by standing in two
lines on either side of the covered
way and singing to the sleepy
excited underclassmen on their
way to breakfast.
