SOLILOQUY OF THE ANGEL fThe Angell a lovely statue at the first bend in 'the road, was placed there in l892. It soon became the goal of the Academy students' early walk after breakfastj Well, it's just about 7:35, they will be coming soon. l wonder who will be Hrst this morning. There were only twelve yesterday. l don't know why the girls dislike me so and why they are so hard to satisfy. ln the early morning they wish that l were right at the dining room doorg but, on a nice, warm evening, they wish l were at the bottom of the hill. Well, well, here comes little Beatrice Mihalick, just about lost in her collar. She doesn't look as though she's enjoying this blustery weather. Somehow, l don't notice rain and snow and such things, standing all alone down here. l guess the laughter and smiles and quips of the young people make me forget such trivial things. And here comes the Sophomore clan, rolling about and washing each other's faces-oh, they know how to enjoy themselves. And here come petite Betty Wolf and tall Flossie Mo- quin-whoops! there goes Floss, right down on her face, fortunately, she can laugh it off. From what the girls are saying, l guess Sister lVlarie Cecilv has hung up another yellow slip. They have ito place a check after their names if they have walked down here to see me. The girls seem quiet this morning: well, they went to bed pretty late last night. Here come Bonnie Reark and Betty Fillinger. They must have been pretty hungry. From what l hear, the pan- cakes were irresistible. Run along, girls! lt's eight o'clock and time to start work. Good luck and study hard! CAROLERS tl Little 'l'own of lietlilm-livin Iluw still we ses- tlive lit' lit-nt-zttli tln- tlzlrk and mlrm-aiuilt-ss sleep The silent stars go hy. One of the most beautiful and most impressive traditions at Seton I-Iill is the Christmas caroling, a privilege en- joyed by the seniors of the Academy. Late at night, attired as angels, Magi, and shepherds, and carrying lighted lanterns and candles, the girls begin their Christmas anthem, Silent Night, at the altar rail tn the chapel. From there, the colorful procession solemnly advances to Mother Superior's office where they are given medals as re- membrances of the joyous night. Then, they pass through the shadowy corridors, to the various dormitory floors. Not a room is missed: every corner re-echoes the happy refrain of O Little Town of Bethlehem and the old familiar carols. There is a general rush for slippers and robes as the notes of the carols reach the sleeping girls. l-leads peer out from every door, girls scamper for a place at the foot of the Christmas tree to await the songsters. After making a tour of the entire build- ing, the carolers visit the crib erected in the Administration Building. l-lere they kneel in adoration before their ln- fant God singing, Venite Adoremusf' The caroling comes to an end in the recreation hall where the Sisters have prepared a party for the little group. The spirit of Christmas fills the room- tables decorated with holly, red and green candles, mistletoe, and poinset- tas. l-lere the seniors enjoy a delight- ful lunch, sit and chat until the clock strikes twelve, then all to their little beds. This custom of Christmas carol- ing is one of the best-loved traditions at Seton. Berenice l-lanrahan l Page l m'ty
