NOT A SCROOGE To a college student many miles from home, the holiday season and Christmas can be a depressing time. Among the worry of the dreaded exams and the anticipation of seeing family and friends, one may teel like saying Bah! Humbug! . However, the Scrooge in every one of us cannot withstand the holly )olly mood that invades Peace College at Christmas time. Starting the long-awaited sport of Christmas feasting is the traditional Open House at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Frazier. Greeted warmly with a hug at the door by Dr. Frazier, students, faculty, students, and friends of Peace are quickly directed to the amazing display of delicious food. Throughout the afternoon they mingle as the eggnog quickly disappears. Christmas would not be Christmas without a visit from Santa. Ho! Ho! Ho! can be heard in the dorms as a mysterious Santa and his elves make their way to every good Peace girl ' s room, even to the top floor of Main. Prior to hall parties, secrets are whispered behind closed doors, and surprise gifts are bought. Anticipation builds as the long-awaited Christmas Chain comes around. The chain of hand- linked students runs from dorm to dorm, floor to floor, picking up others on its way. As the chain gathers the last group of students from the fourth floor of Main, the race for the fountain begins. Breathlessly, students cascade down the steps, running along the brick walkways in front of Main. The chain then begins to wind around the fountain in a tight circle. After rounds of Christmas carols are sung, students file back into their dorms, arm in arm. The anticipation for home has not been lost, but the feeling of family is strengthened during the excitement of Christmas at Peace. Students en|oy the festive foods at Dr Frazier ' s open house

CONVOCATION The entire freshman class ot 198 . wearing white dresses walk to the Recital Hall. Girls call hello ' s to each other, sometimes getting names and faces contused. Many are wondering what Convocation is all about. As the organist begins to play, the girls become silent and turn to look toward the rear of the Recital Hall. The faculty enters, wearing their full academic regalia, an impressive sight. They listen to the inspiring words of the Convocation speaker and Dr. Frazier officially pronounces the academic year in session. As the student scholars are introduced, we learn the purpose of Convocation: the recognition of the academic leaders of the freshman class and the challenge from (acuity to make the coming academic year the best ever.
