EVERY THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED BUT WE CERTAINLY DID GET DIRTY DOING IT! Mary Ann Morris. Valerie Demick In each classroom, the walls and blackboards were adorned with Christmas cheer. Scenes of the Nativity and the Ucoming ofthe Shepherds were realistically and artistically painted on the blackboards, while around the rooms evergreens and Christmas bells filled the students with joyful thoughts of expectation for the coming of the Son of Ciod. To keep fresh in the memories of the students the true meaning of Christmas. carols were sung in the classrooms and Christmas cribs were pro- minently displayed. Often, the last few days before the students were dismissed for the holi- days , the strains of O, come let us adore Him could be heard while walking through the halls past the different classes. In Spanish, Latin. and English the words of praise were offered up to the Second Person of the Trinity. Jesus Christ. the Redeemer of man. Patricia Cole THERE GOES THE LAST CANDLE 5

O, COME LET US ADORE HIM WITH William Scott SHOULD I MOVE IT OVER FARTHER? 4 IT HAS BEEN FUN WORKING ON THIS PICTURE l to r: Gertrude Neron, Albert Mitchell, CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES AT ST. PAUL'S The Christmas spirit comes early and lasts long throughout the classes at St. Pauls The Advent wreath, the decorating of the classrooms, the singing of Christmas carols and hymns, and re- newing the true meaning of Christmas are all part of the pre-Christmas excitement. The Advent wreath is a wreath of evergreens, bound to a circle of wire. German in origin-it was taken from the pagan fire wheel, the wreath represents the cycle of thousands of years from Adam to Christ during which the world awaited the coming of the Redeemer. It also represents the cycle of years since then that we have been awaiting His second and final coming in glory. It bears four candles, equally spaced, three purple ones to be lighted on the Penitential Sundays, and a pink one for Gaudete, the joyful Sunday in Advent, The Advent wreath was placed in the Library and each week as a candle was lit, the Collect for the Sundays was read aloud by one of the students.
