Springer Celebrating Christmas college style Christmas on campus has always been a special time and this year was no different. Decorations were beautiful, spirits were lifted, and everyone joined in celebrating the tradi- tional holiday. Pine trees were brought on campus and stood decorated on the grounds and in the buildings. Lights, wreaths and b ows were hung for everyone to see and enjoy. Students also decorated their dorm rooms with a seasonal flair. Doors were covered with red and green wrap- ping paper topped with ribbon. Christmas music flooded the halls. Mailboxes were filled with greeting cards wishing all a happy season. Some students decorated minature trees in their rooms and hung stockings from the mirrors. Almost everyone strung glow- ing lights in their windows for those who passed by to admire. Fourth floor Nesbitt even went so far as to combine their decorating efforts and through each room on the quad-side of the building, forming their lights into a different letter, spelled out Happy Holidays. The ways which students chose to celebrate Christmas on campus were all different yet special in their own way. For Freshmen it meant a first chance to decorate their own individual tree. For Seniors it was the last opportunity to see the quad lights reflecting off the snow- covered ground, and for us all it meant establishing our own traditions and memories which will effect our lives in the seasons to come.
