The Madison theater has become an essential part of the environment of Saint Rose. Some of the students prefer swimming and horse-back riding to all other forms of amuse- ment. Encouraged by the eager participation of the students and well supported by the members of the sophomore class, these clubs reorganized this year under their new leaders. Besides swimming twice a week, some of the club members entered intra-mural contests for both speed and form. Among these activi- ties was a swimming pagaent, an original venture, in which those participating dis- played their ability for team work and perfect timing by forming various, unique aquatic designs. Before long, the Christmas spirit began to .-- I I I I I I I I I I I vt' . , - t -- .1 -L creep into the minds and hearts of our stu- dents. Contributions were brought for bas- kets, stockings were filled, toys were repaired and a Merry Christmas was wished to all. Our greetings to each other and to the mem- bers of the faculty were exchanged at the Christmas party, December twentieth. This year, the annual entertainment was sponsored by the members of the dramatic theory class which had been newly organized for the members of Shadows exclusively. The short drama and tableaux which they pre- sented were earnestly applauded by the audience. When Santa finished distributing the gifts, the students departed from college for the last time in the year nineteen hundred thirty-nine. 1105111716 in jarmary for j. IVilliams, M. Nestor, H.
