Christmas At Regis lowflakes . . . Light- nowflakes ing the Advent wreath . . . Christmas Vespers . . . The Semi-formal . . . Kris Kringles . . . The Christmas Ban- quet . . . Class Songs . . . Candle- lighting Ceremony ... A flicker of hope in the midst of exams- This is what Regis is all about. As we journey into a new life, we can all smile as we reflect on the times we were the sopho- mores serving the senior class; we sang German Christmas songs in the foyer between class- es; we left notes all over campus to confuse our Kris Kringle as to where her gift was hiding; we dressed ourselves in velvet and attended the dance in the lower student union; we were the class holding the candles at the cand- lelighting ceremony. As seniors, the Christmas sea- son came too soon. Knowing this would be our last Christmas here at Regis, tears filled our eyes as the season began. Be- fore long, we were proceeding to- ward the foyer as a class side by side. Like the Classes before us, and the classes to come, Christ- mas At Regis will always fill our hearts with warm memories. by Val Brown

Ring Ceremony eated in the chapel, we all waited anxiously to hear our president, Kristen Taylor, speak. She told friends, family, and fellow seniors about the history of the Regis ring. She told us that this ring was a symbol; a symbol of our years here at Regis. The rest of the evening passed quickly for all of us. Some planned to go to the dinner dance on campus, while others had reservations at restaurants in the area. It wasn ' t until several weeks later that 1 realized the importance and the honor of wearing a Regis ring. I was coming home after a short va- cation over Thanksgiving break and 1 noticed a woman in the air- port staring at me. She came up to me and asked if I was from the Bos- ton area. 1 looked quizzically at her and replied Yes, how do know? She replied that she was a] Regis graduate and had been ad- miring my ring. She was very happyj that the ring 1 wore resembled hers.l She went on to tell me about her] da ys at Regis. 1 enjoyed her compa- ny and when it was time to go, ij thanked her for introducing herself.f Before she left, she gave me some] words of advice, That ring you] wear tells the world that you are a] member of a very special commu-J nity. rio matter where you go in life] (she now lives in Chicago) you willl always belong there. Regis is a spe-j dal place, enjoy your next two] years there.” After she went to] catch her plane, I examined myl ring. It had new meaning to me] now. Chris Cavagnaro]
