The dining hall was an exquisite expression of the season's sweetest messages. Tall green trees sparkled with shimmer- ing snow and garlands of white and silver held near fluffy bells that pealed soundles- ly, reverently, joyfully, and friendly. Ta- bles were laden with results of the skills and ingenuity of Mr. Ted Fortier and his Food Services Staff. Grandly, and with dignity appropriate to the occasion, the lines of people began to pass through the receiving area where Dr. Hamrick and Chairman of the Board and Mrs. Franklin Mason awaited the stu- dents, faculty, staff, alumni, administra- tors and friends of the college. The num- ber in attendar ce exceeded all expecta- tions. ... up-f-' . I- 'T' Lfzfftr f'i'f?-1 ' Planned weeks ahead of time, the evening was a tribute to the inspiration of Mrs. Margaret Hamrick. Mrs. Lil Baldwin's astonishing talents had, with long labor and love, translated the en- tire visual effect of the dining hall into a mood that was a request of the Col- lege's First Lady. Our beautiful First Lady, however, with her warmth and delicacy of manner was unable to at- tend. Because of recent illness her strength would not permit the long standing to greet her guests. However, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that her love for Baptist College was the spark that brought the event into being and it was her faith and her trust in the Christ whose Birthday we celebrated that caused all our hearts to be warmer, happier . .. . ,L

THE SPIRIT GF CHRI TMAS '78 I I .I . i qfxf 1 M, .l .QQ ' P , lf. ff' ' , ' 1 - The Christmas Spirit arrived early on the Baptist College campus with the traditional Hanging of the Greens. Amid the bustle of exam week Christ- mas greenery, put up by the clubs on campus, delighted the eyes of study weary students. To add to the Christ- mas cheer, students decorated their dorm rooms, doors, and windows. Christmas trees, merry twinkling lights and candles shone through many dorm windows. Inside the dorms, decorated doors brightened the hallways. Even more noticeable on campus than the decorations was the Christmas spirit. The true joy of Christmas showed itself on the faces of all. Staff members and students alike at- tended parties and more parties, but the biggest party of all, the highlight of the festivities, was the annual President's Christmas reception.
