Christmas Tree Brings Cheer to Children of The Salvation Army Ornzinienlrd Tree Gives Brilliant Effect To Chapel Today the Seminary begins the Holiday Season by spreading Christmas cheer among the little Salvation Army children, For many years it has been the custom of the school to play Santa Claus to n number of children who would not otherwise be remem- bered at this joyful time, As the little boys and girls enter thc room their eyes grow big and sparkle with delight at the sight of the Christmas tree loaded down with toys and goodies. Tho tree is indeed a wonderful sight, with its shining tinsel and bright colored lights. The kiddies say scarcely u word in their timid- ity and excitement but each one's face lights up with a smile as he or she receives a bulging stocking, filled with candy, nuts, toys, and fruit. organized in Atlanta. The interest in the contributions to this charity increases each year both in the number and quality of the gifts. The girls of the boarding depart- ment and the teachers, as well as tho girls of tha sewing classes, make the garments that they give.- Some of those who cannot sew, buy a dress or a piece of underwear to give. Others give money, which is used to buy linen for the hospitals of Atlanta.

A Course in Finished Marble The visitors then rode over to the mills where they were divided into groups. Each groirp was con- ducted through the mill by one of the hosts. The Seminary girls listened eagerly to the explanations of the different parts of the mill and were greatly interested in the cutting and polishing of the mar- ble.
