Many Special Events Occupy Our Minds—A Joyous Time for Youn? and Old- Much Time Allowed for Festivities. Writing up the events connected with our Christ mas holidays each year is always a pleasurable ex perience, but it has one drawback: It is difficult to tell just where to begin, just the exact date on which our yuletide observances started. With many of our people preparations for Christmas began quite a while back, but we think it fitting to begin with the Sun day before, as Miss Eakin and the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. organizations gave pleasing programs on that day. In the evening the choir gave the traditional “Christmas Pageant” in the auditorium, and it was in every way most pleasing. In this work Mrs. Tur ney had the assistance of Miss Gunn, and Mr. Kun kel played a lovely violin solo as an atmosphere feature. On Monday evening all were treated to a presenta tion of the cantata for youngsters, “A Joke on Santa Claus.” This work was under the direction of Miss Judd and it was in every particular most interesting. Since presentation much praise has been heard of this pleasing feature of our holidays schedule. On Christmas Eve the various dormitories about the grounds were the scenes of “tree” parties. Pleasing programs were given just previous to “stripping” the trees of their gifts. Many employes attended these pro grams and enjoyed them as much as did the students. About thirty of the Catholic high school students attended Midnight Mass in Salem Christmas Eve. A Southern Pacific bus was chartered to take the students to Salem, and return them to Chemawa after the ser vice. The arrangements were made by Miss Roddy and the party started from her home. All report having had an enjoyable time. Early carol singing by members of the choir awak ened many people about the campus and in this way was Christmas Day ushered in. At 5:00 in the morn ing Father Gall said mass and gave Holy Communion to his charges of the Catholic faith. At the conclusion of the regular service he gave a brief, but interesting, discourse on the inscrutable wisdom of the Creator. At noon all assembled at the students’ large din ing hall and enjoyed a splendid dinner. We must all give’Mr. Bond and those who assisted him the ut most credit for the wonderful dinner provided the students. The decorations, too, were lovely. As usual, the orchestra played during the meal and many employes were in attendance to help if needed. In the evening all repaired to the auditorium for movies. A real treat awaited all, for “Simba” was the attraction. (Continued on page 2)
