DANCES, HELL DAY, One of the most important events during the year is the retreat. A crib decorated the Ad building during Christmas time. Final preparations are made before the Grand March. 20 Who can say what meaning Christ- mas has for men, or, more likely, who can say what meaning Christmas vacation has for students? For those that remain- ed on campus, vacation perhaps did not entail the atmosphere of home and family, but the usual festivities were shared by all. Mostly, however, the Creighton stu- dent returned home to celebrate the sacred season in the best atmosphere possible. Although this respite from studies was as necessary as the Christmas tradition, the student, just two days after New Years, was plunked back into classes with the promise of first semester finals glaring at him. In the driveway between St. Johns Church and the Arts Building, there is always a wind. In January, however, the wind became stoic blasts, which emphasized the bleakness of exams. Nevertheless they passed, and the retreats came to provide an opportunity for the Creighton student to examine and resolve in preparation for the year ahead. The triumphal march to the throne of Helen of Troy.

AND A SILENT SNOWY NIGHT Even though on the outside of the buildings the snow blew, on the inside life went into high gear. For example, in the middle of January the annual Interfraternity Ball witnessed the selection and corona- tion of the year ' s Helen of Troy, Mati Scherr. In this semi-formal at Peony were represented the excellent tastes of Creighton as chosen by all eleven frats on campus. Among other social highlights were such affairs as the Founders ' Day Dinner honoring nine of the Creighton faculty, Hell Day, which was given over to the diabolical rites of initiation for the pledges of three sororities, and finally the Military Ball. Cadet Col. Whelan was announced new regimental com- mander, and Miss Barbara Broderson as honorary colonel gave the orders at the ball sponsored by Phalanx Military Fraternity. A pledge must smile during all kinds of mistreatment. 21
