PERFORMING at the Christmas program this year are the Fathers Four. This newly formed quartet is composed of the Rev. Anthony Weber, S.J., Jon Calhoun, Jim Boldan. and Jon Jennings. Christmas Spirit Rises As the Christmas spirit began to permeate the air, Creightonians were busied with thoughts of parties, holiday programs, and a good two weeks away from school. The university buildings and some of the- dormitories were gayly decorated for the yule- tide season, almost making the student forget his last minute assignments and term papers. Besides their many activities, fraternities, so- rorities, sodalities, and other groups did works of charity by visiting hospitals, homes for the aged, and delivering Christmas baskets. TRIMMING the mammoth Christmas tree that greets hilltoppers who enter the Student Center via the Cass Street entrance poses . a problem for these two employees of Nationwide. RESIDENTS of fifth floor Deglman, Fr. Hasbrouck, Fr. Flanagan, and special guests enjoy a dinner together in the faculty dining room just before Christmas vacation to celebrate the coming holiday. THE CHOIR, under the direction of hiarry Langdon, gives its annual concert of choral music which features Christmas music from around the world: U.S.A., England, France, Italy, Russia, and Germany. 30
