Highlighting the all-student activities were the Student Center decorating party December 4 and the SEC Christmas dance December 10, featuring the music of Skitch Henderson and his band. The music department presented the traditional Christmas convocation oratorio December 12. As students hurried to and from classes, the pleasant sound of Christmas carols came from the library tower.
