a striped candystick in the other. Drop the Handkerchiefn was the most fun, with our dignified UD Student Council President in a flowing white nightie and booties chasing after all the girls. tHe didn't catch them, either-they had on rubber-soled shoes lb Near the end of the evening, Santa, who turned out to be Dr. CTeddyJ Bair, made his entrance amid loud cheers and proceeded to distribute the decidedly odd presents each of us had chosen for some one of our little playmates. Little Jackie Steinmetz re- ceived a baby's bottle filled with some- thing stronger than milk. You ought to know better'n thatf, said he after a sniff, and promptly drank it. Working in its quiet and efficient manner, our Junior Red Cross, headed by Anne Remington, had done a great deal in the weeks preceding Christmas to make the holidays brighter for those enduring the real hardships of war. Spe- cial Christmas cards were sent to our BHS alumni in the services and, from reports we have received, these tokens of our interest and good will were really appreciated. Boxes filled by the advi- sories under the supervision of the Coun- cil were sent to English children- candy, soap, combs, paper, pencils, and games were some of the articles in these packages. One hundred and fifty gift boxes were also filled for the men at Camp Shanks. In addition to these boxes Christmas decorations and carol books were sent to the Camp to make it a happier Christmas for the men who were so far from home. Our efforts along these lines made it a better Christ- mas for us too, for it is Nbetter to give than to receivef' and we knew that our works, however infinitesmal, were ap- preciated at their final destinations. Holidays really started Saturday, the 18th, which gave us a long vacation. Sat- urday was also the date of the opening of the famous Club '44 where the gang meets to eat, dance, smoke, and have a wonderful time. The Club is in the un- dercroft of the Christ Church, and on the opening night it was really crowded. Bush Kent was the Master of Cere- monies and Ted Johnson the head of the Social Committee. The many attrac- tions of the evening included songs by V Y Y PICTURES . The one, the only, the original . They beat us to it . VVho'd have thought it! . A REAL band . Pahdon me!', . Geez, hey, a rat race! the sultriest of our singers, Mo Dom and Anne Remington, and skits and rec- itations by such virile specimens as Pete Aczel, Bill Coldwell, Joe Corr, George Davis, Marcel McGrath, Tom Middleton, Ted Taubeneck, and Ted Tut- tle. Our own swing band, starring such illustrious maestros as Ted Johnson, Dick Kent, Shirley McKay. Larry Mort- lock, and Don Shaw, provided some real- ly professional music and throughout the year was the main drawing card of many a dance. Mr. Taubeneck's forum still held forth during the vacation, and on Monday we heard our favorites, William L. Shirer, Dr. Samuel Inman, Leland Rex Robin- son, Leland Stowe, and James MacDon- ald, discuss the problems of the future. On Christmas Eve we all went to the Reformed Church to see our lovely Shir- ley McKay in the role of the Virgin Mary. She was beautiful, and we went home with the true Christmas spirit. New Year's Eve was quite a night, and we heard rumors of certain male fand female 'FJ members who came home singing loudly about 9 A. M. on the fol- lowing morning. On January 3, we went from the ridiculous to the sublime and started back to school. All that homework which we were definitely go- ing to do over the holidays was still to be done, and we determined to do part of it that evening, but again Taubie came to our rescue with a forum- Out- look for 1944, A Look Ahead which impressed on our minds the fact that we muslt look forward and search for the trut . The basketball squad semed to have been the only individuals who worked at anything during our vacation, and they went to work to improve their record.
