Christmas trees bedecked with colored lights, shining balls, and silver icicles all showed Teeny Squeege that old St. Nick would soon be coming down the chimney, and with this happy thought in mind, he and the thousand odd TCCers vacated Colonial walls, until their return on january 3. am! mzry o rigorette war Jmoked in the hollr Teeny was a very bright ueddicated mouse and his observant little eyes fhe was in Doc Kent's math classj perceived that a new look policy had in- vaded the Colonial during his abscence in the form of bright red linoleum for every fioor om! informative rigor for every door. He also perceived the appearance of the Dionysians, the newest in college fraternities with Bob Dennis as its first president, and the English Club in the process of formation under the direction of johnny Gorton. By this time, fit was the last week of the term, Teeny knew that this was Zero Period fthe only time when the lounge, library, and classrooms are fairly quietj, and he heartily approved of Baccacia's Gloom Ball, their traditional last fiing before the gloom of final exams settles on TCC om! ,l2leoJe have merry! ir the oft heard plea of fzrmzerozrr fluff rulferr. Lots of new and exciting things occurred with the commencement of the new semester creating much enthusiasm in Teeny's tiny equilibrium such as the Wham Be Bop jam session held in Prof Gil- fillan's studios above the book store, the highly suc- cessful Biz Ad Day featuring exhibits, tours, movies and dancing to the tune of the Sophisticats fagain lj, and the production of l'Biography with new starlet jean Blesh coming to the fore, and Dick Singel, Jtzldefzl prodzzeer, in the fore once more.

There was so much going on and so many people talking at once in this little store of knowledge Qthey sell text-books here sometimesj that Teeny almost missed seeing Miss Pitel, one of the quieter members of our congregation exlreinely inzfoloed in an explanation of a farnlty Chri.rlnza.r parly the niie of December 11 where refreshments and skits topped the lift of hitr and hair war let down with no rlndentf aronnd . . . Teeny liked this sparkling personality and decided to follow her to Pandoran Headquarters where a vigorous discussion, led by twenty girls, was in full sway. Topic: new women's social group on campus. Teeny Squeege was glad to hear this, for though he hadn't been here too long, he did realize the impor- tance of competition for healthy collegiate atmos- phere, and he was sure that the Thalians with Barb Rood at the helm, would fill the bill . Teeny watched with delight the joint Pandoran-Thalian Christmas party held in the lounge soon after where pnnrh and rookier and joyonr langhter fonlrihnied highly lo Ihe friendly .fpirit .. of the evening. Our little hero swelled with pride at the wonderful work accomplished by the Pan- doran gals in their raffle ticket sale for the benefit of the Cancer Drive, the gains of which amounted to 331500, and his little eyes grew wider and wider as he viewed the twenty-five gifts to be raffled the nite of the Mistletoe Ball wilh a hlarh and while puppy at the head of thenz all.

His little sides almost burst, so hard did he laugh at the International Night at the Legion where language gronpr from ezfery region lent fheir falenly lo a grand cnlnzinaiion, of the seasonls activities. Teeny liked especially well the German Club's oom-pah band with leader George Neumann, Sam Vitale's delightful rendition of Bes- same Mucho in Spanish and Italian, and Danny Bot- tino in La Traviata , and he fell in love with Larry McGrath's inimitable interpretation of a can-can dancer

Teeny noted with pride that Bob lsban and Scrappy Hubbs were responsible for some mighty fine ball playing. The gala feeling of gaiety revived itself within Teeny as he recalled the grand success of the Car- nival of Hearts and the glowing expressions of de- light on the countenances of Ruth Tuthill and Clark Hungerford as Prof Silverton crowned them King and Queen of Hearts, and he also relived in poig- nant nostalgia the Adelphia Spring Mix, Goliard Mardi Gras, and Baccacia Scholarship Stomp, three of the most outstanding affairs of the year when l900,f2.r were mf! clown in place of beer and Pizndomm and Tlblllldllf. A warm feeling of satisfaction swept over Teeny as he thought of all these campus capers, and especially when he was reminded of the excellent work accom- plished by new President johnny Horkott and his crew: Bob Kuchinskas, Pat Bliss and Stan Bachman.
