As was the custom we went around town caroling to the different people and to some shutins. We also went into Clark's factory and caroled to the workers. Upon returning to the High School we had our gift exchange. The Chapter presented Mrs. Nuppenau, advisor, with a poinsetta plant. Mrs. Swanson, Chapter Mother, and Mrs. Nuppenau served refreshments. The party was then adjourned. We all had a wonderful time. I'm sure all of us had the meaning of Christmas brought closer to us through this fellowship.
