The old customs of other lands along with the tender memories of the first Christmas make this holiday an interval of joy and cheer. Traditional holiday activity such as the belief in a Santa Claus, the hanging of the stocking, the decoration of the Christmas tree, the exchange of gifts, and cards and the holly and the mistletoe has emerged from ancient customs. Jolly old Santa Claus with his tinkling sleigh bells and pack of toys came to America by way of Holland. The old Dutch settlers of New York brought with them the spiirt of San Nicolaas, patron saint of children. San Nicolaas promptly grew a long white beard, belted his jovial stoutness in a red coat and made his bow to America as Santa Claus. Poetry Reviews eber Persons W By Geraldine Utsman T'was the week before Christmas And all the finals were over. Phoenix had thrown a "neat" SnowballAnd Kent Lundquist was finally sober. While Dorrell Brock was hanging up his stocking with care, Hoping in the morning Carolyn Young would be there; Sandy Weaver was snuggling asleep in her bed With visions of wedding gowns dancing through her head; While Stratford and Miller, and Gregory too, Were beginning to relax now the Quarter was through; The student body officers would like to extend their Season's Greetings to All of you. They are just looking things over here. The tree was really decorated by the New girls Club of the college. A Christmas Philosophy By Bob Who 0 ever on the night of the nativity of the young Lord Jesus, in great snows, shall fare forth ELMO'S CYCLERY Harley Davidson MotorcyclesChushman Scooters Schwinn Bicycles Sales Service 2916 Washington Blvd. Dial EX 2-9651 Roberts bearing a succulent bone for the lost and lamenting hound. The stranded wayfarer, a bundle of fagots for the twittering crone, a garland of bright berries for one who has worn chains, gay arias of lute and harp for all huddled birds who thought that songs were dead, and divers lush sweetmeats for such babes' faces as they peer from lonely windows. To him shall he be profited and returned gifts of such astonishment as the rival of the peacock and the harmonies of heaven, so that he lived to the great age, yet he shall walk upright and remembering, as one whose heart shines like a great star in his breast.
