Busy Planning Seasonal Activities Halls of the College of St. Rose are resounding with the Spirit of Christmas, which has been ushered in during the last few weeks by the students, in preparation for the pre-holiday activity. The C. Y. O. has whipped into shape a variety of plans for the season. Old toys contributed by the student body have been renovated by members of the Mission Committee. Acting as Santa’s helpers they will distribute these toys to the youngsters of St. Philip’s School for Negroes at a Christmas Party, plans for which are in the making. An impetus of ice cream, cake and candy will add to the children’s enjoyment. As a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas, the Propaganda Committee has set up on the campus a scene representing the Nativity, which will furnish the background for Carol singing. Miniature mangers have also appeared at various places throughout the Science Hall. The same committee is filling a basket which will be delivered to some undei'-privileged family. Valerie.

Couples danced merrily to the tune of many of the popular songs of the day, unaware of the fact that each song was an important development in the plot. The purpose of the affair was to portray the proper spirit which should motivate a Catholic girl preparing for and attending Prom.
