Christmas Carols Christmas Cheer Christmas held a new spirit for the many little orphans of the Pre- ventorium in Tucson this year. The hearts of Setonites grew happier in playing Santa to these Mexican children in the cactus land where our Sisters instruct these little ones. Peggy Gilson, Connie Zaccoli, Janet Gregarius wrap packages for Tucson. Our festive Christmas dinner which the Sisters give for us is always a high light in the holiday setting.

Angels, from the realms of glory Wing your flight o'er all rhe earth: Ye, who sang Crea+ion's story, Now, proclaim the Saviour's birth When it's holly time on the hill, then come Seton's traditions and the time for tunes, turkey, tinsel, and roasts . The annual Christmas Cantata adds the real meaning to this season of good cheer. The Christmas story told in song and tableaux in music reminds us that the Baby Jesus comes into hearts of all men if they give Him a welcome. Caroling night is an occasion looked forward to by all, but by the seniors. On this evening they alone have the privilege of caroling through the halls at night, awakening the uunderclassmenv with their Yuletide melodies in honor of the Infant King. The best time of all is the Christmas dinner. Dressed in our formals we o down to the holl -wreathedn and tinsel-trimmed g Y d1n1ng room so artistically decorated by the good Sisters and seniors.
