Row: Robert Seufert (Master of Ceremonies), Christmas Traditions As a festive yuletide spirit fills the air, MacMurray College observes one of its finest traditions — the Madrigal dinners. The MacMurray Madrigal Singers perform to appreciative audiences of MacMurray students, faculty and staff, and community supporters. Clothed in Medieval costumes, the singers welcome their guests in song to the seasonally-decorated McClelland Dining Hall, after which the English dinner is served consisting of prime rib, scones, and plum pudding. An introduction to the dinner and narration for the evening was provided this year by Master of Ceremonies Dr. Robert Seufert. Musical variety highlights each evening and includes familar Christmas carols along with favorite old English tunes.

From one of the most popular novels and movies of the last decade and from the prize winning PBS television series comes The Paper Chase, another play presented by the Jacksonville Theatre Guild in cooperation with MacMurray College. This very human play focuses on the challenges, tensions, fears, and joys of a group of graduate students. The play, set in the Harvard School of Law, features a cast composed primarily of MacMurray students, thus adding great realism to each character as they mirror moments, or incidents, experienced by almost all those involved in higher education. Success, as well as failure, is experienced by all the students as they face the incredibly challenging contract law course presented by the indomitable Professor Kingsfield. The Paper Chase was performed on the evenings of April 12-14 and 18- 20, 1985. Hart assures Susan that he will only come over for breakfast, top left.
