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. Father Edmund, Seton's favorite toastmaster, took over while girls toasted Sister Francesca, the faculty, each class, the Prep. The only regret was Father Ralphls absence. Strains of old familiar hymns . . . tinsel-trimmed trees . . . a spirit of good will and excitement-Seton's yuletide season is a cherished memory. Senior hearts knew pangs of sorrow even in the midst of gaiety, for this was their last Christmas at Seton, but its gladness and joy will be a memory forever. Here at Seton Every Year

H fittfe om en H This was no ordinary play-with a southern Cinderella, a colored mammy, and the same old plot-this was Little Women,,, and the characters were as real as Louisa Mae Alcott had fancied them. From the Hrst act to the third, we lived again with the characters we knew so well from the book. There was Janet Gregorius sweetly gracious as the gentle Meg, and Marie Kish, the mischievously feminine Amy who loved teas, calls, and new words. We laughed sympathetically when Kit'Woods pranced into the room in true Jo fashionv with her bobbed hair. And tears were in the eyes of all when Bernice Rielley, as Beth, told us with her eyes more than words ever could, The baby died in my arms. When Ellen Frances Rodgers, Aunty March swept into the room, Ceven the bustle on her dress appeared indignantj, spontaneous laughter filled the hall. From Dorothy Keenan's sweet portrayal of the kindly Mrs. March to Ann Donnelly,s characterization of Sally Moffett, Little Women made a strong appeal to an enthusiastic audience. Then of course, how could we ever forget our Irish Hannah, Peggy Gilson, who thought that 'fish-balls were more interesting than Megls first love. Natalie Cox played her role in perfect imitation of that foolish Aunty Carroll. Seton Hill will long remember this play for its dearly loved story, for its scenery Cthanks to the stage crewj, and for the vivid characters of Louisa Mae Alcott's life and imagination. We laughed, we cried, we sympathized, but mostly we loved-'4Little Women.,,
