IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? ‘I Remember Mama”: A Well-Dome Job By Debbie Ellis I Remember Mama was one of the most professionally done plays ever presented on the St. Mary’s campus. This amateur group of actors put to gether a very accomplished play. Through the effectiveness of the characterizations, the staging, and the variety of other necessities of a play, the atmosphere created in 1 Remember Mama reached a high jxjak. Linda Stott as Mama carried the whole play with everyone else ro tating around her. Mama’s optimism, humanity, and humbleness affected each character in the play. If Linda had not been a strong actor, the en tire play would have fallen apart. But Mama was supported by a strong cast. Anyone who saw the play can never forget little Harriet Day and her cat! Or Zan Deas and her dramatic and fantastical short stories! And the thundering voice of Uncle Chris, the timidness of Mr. Thorkel- son, and the elaborate words of Mr. I lyde will remain in our hearts. The jTerfect portrayal of the three old maid aunts and of sister and brother, Christine and Nels, made them un forgettable characters. From the main characters to the nurses, the soda clerk, the bell-boy, the scrubwoman, the friends, and the strangers, the play was complete. Every character played his part that important thing in the making of a “whole” play. Editor’s Note: While so many things have been written about Christmas, this part of a letter and reply to an eight year old girl express some of the truest sentiments of the season. The letter and answer were printed in the Neiv York Sun, Sept. 21, 1897. “Dear Editor I am eight years old. Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in the Sun it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon 115 West 95th Street New York City Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. 1 hey think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.

Fie exists as certainly as love, and generosity, and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith, then, no jxietry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no en joyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which child hood fills the world would be extin guished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can con ceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. mittee. The purpose of the is to discredit and undermiP^, South Vietnamese-American eft" Viet Nam.
