SOCIAL SERVICE The Social Service was led this year by Kathie Scott, and it was through our charity representa- tives that we contributed our quota to the United Fund Appeal and the March of Dimes. Another im- portant activity of this committee was the sale of scrip tickets which was sponsored during the four weeks prior to the Christmas Fair. CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY FAIR The festivities of the Christmas Fair commenced on the sixth of December with the lighting of the huge Christmas tree which stood in the middle of the gayly decorated and extremely crowded gym. The greatest attraction in the always-popular Game Room was the Duck Pin booth sponsored by the Seventh Main for their Foreign Student Fund. The Fair was undeniably a Big Success as a result of the hard work of the Womenis Committeeg the Fair Co-Chairmen, Mrs. Iames T. Vernay, Ir. and Mrs. George A. Robinson, and the Student Repre- sentative, Carolyn Voigt, A part of the proceeds of the Fair will be used for the stylish and com- fortable furniture in our new Common Room. A mood of solemnity was created as the gym be- came hushed and the first strains of Hosanna were heard. The program included the Glee Club's sing- ing of Sheep May Safely Graze accompanied by Hutists Sharon Davis and Anne Conley, and Dori Mu Colombe sung by the student body in memory of Katherine A. Talbot. The beauty of the pageant was heightened by the expressive Dormi lesu com- posed by Ioan Panetti, President of the Glee Club. The lower Main sang two lovely French carols and presented three exquisite tableaux to accompany the reading of the Christmas story. A true spirit of holiness and humility had been captured as the assembly closed with the traditional recessional hymn, On This Day. .4-0.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE CLUB As a Christian Service Club we are a very special hind of club-more than a type of interdenominational collegiate, all-girl, young peoples. Our purpose is to discover together the true meaning of Christian living and service and to come to a more complete understanding of the challenge we have accepted as such a club. Our programs and activities are to he centered around the themes of Christian service and Christian living, in terms of what we, as Christian young people, can give and be in our homes, country, and world.

With the coming of the Christmas season, the creed of the Christian Service Club assumed a spe- cial significance. Father George Taylor, Rector of Saint David's Episcopal Church, led the club in a beautiful Christmas service. On the Saturday be- fore Christmas, a large group of the clubls members sang carols at Union Memorial Hospital. In the same spirit of Christian service in terms of what we can give and be the Christian Service Club members, earlier in the year, gave a Thanksgiving turkey, canned goods, clothes, and an afghan to a needy Baltimore family. The club, under the guidance of Miss Hawxhurst and President Betsy Cellurale, worked not only .41. toward true charity of the heart and hand, but also tolerance of the mind. One of the essential require- ments of Christian living is the practicing of under- standing, Dr. Donald Kerr, Rector of the Roland Park Presbyterian Church, pointed out to the club. To gain such an understanding of various religious doctrines, the Christian Service Club sponsored a program on The Major Religions of the World. From addresses, movies, and student reports, the club members gained a general knowledge of the beliefs and practices of Mohammedanism, B,Hai, Hinduism, and several Christian denominations in- cluding Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Unitarianism.
