Christmas Choir n mas vacat TRADITION of long standing w as again revived on campus the ' night prior to the departure for Christ- nas vacation. A special choir under the direc- tion of Dr. Edward Donovan made its appear- ance as the tower clock struck midnight. Following the plan of the Rev. Daniel Power, S.J., the assemblage of forty-three men filled the midnight air surrounding the Hilltop with traditional hymns of Christmastide. As the Carolers made their tour of the campus, en- toning Adeste Fidelis, Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and O ' er the Eastern Mountains, lights were turned on and faces appeared at all the windows. This renewal of an old tradition was heartily welcomed h the student body and is a further indication that the true Georgetown spirit has returned from the war. 1
