FOR TWO HOURS WE ALMOST FOR- GOT FINALS . . . The Christmas Supper, festive, gay, took place on December tenth. A giant tree glittered With red balls and tinsel, a fire crackled in the fireplace.

As c1 fitting climax, the Pomona College Choir gave its presentation of Handel's Messiah later in the evening. Students went home mellowed, ready for the ordeal of exams just ahead.
