1 z DECEMBER, 1052 - We prepare for our annual winter formal Qthis time the Frozen Fantasynj. It comes off with great success and gives us enough of a lift to carry us through our studies until Christmas vacation rescues usg the term papers hanging over our heads are disregarded and we all have a happy vacation.
