Pfeiffer students have the unique priviledge of celebrating Christmas twice — the first begins before any exams have a chance to weight the spirit down. Faculty, staff, and students unite to transform the campus into a little Williamsburg and in the process, suc- cumb to the pleasures of Yuletide’s carefree spirit. 28

I From the mountains of Colorado to Misenheimer came Ed Kilbourne, singer song writer, recording artist and friend of Pfeiffer College. Appearances at Pfeiffer are becoming a regular thing for this young performer who is one of the most popular with the students. The Christian LifeCouncil and The Association of Women Students pooled funds in order to secure Ed for Feb. 12, just in time for Winter Festival activities. Wherever Kilbourne goes, he takes with him the magnetic humor, mellow voice and magic guitar which make him such a performer and always he takes his dynamic faith which makes him such a sharer. The humor, the talent, the faith — they always come across and Thursday, Feb. 12th was no different for Eddie or his listeners. 27

Saturday was designated for the hanging of the greens' and by mid-afternoon the dorms, Chapel, Library, Administration building and even Jane Freeman and Merner Center were sporting evergreens sprinkled with red, candles in the front windows, nuts and fruit and paper used in the most decorative of ways and towering Christmas trees complete with homemade trimmings. Yet to come and spur spirits along were the Yule logs ceremony, live nativity scene, AGO's candlelight service and the Symphonic Choir's contribution — the Christmas Concert always a high light. Exams did come but they found Pfeiffer in much better spirits. A very important part of these students' Christmas had past and December 25th was yet to come. I ,
