Parties Fill Calendar SFC always has a full calendar during the Christmas season and the semester break. As a kick off for the Christmas parties, students decorated a Christmas tree in each dorm and enjoyed refreshments after- wards. During semester break the annual Winter Carnival, planned by co-chair- men Diane Skola and Dennis Weins, was held at Tuthill Park. Activities in- cluded ice skating and tobogganing. The evening entertainment in Pierce Cvymasiurn was a Beatnik party under the direction of Kay Hayzlett and Garene Benedict. Further activities included the folk garne party which clirnaxed the basket- ball game the following week end.
