STUDENT COUNCIL IS
GIVEN OFFICE ROOM
With the help and co-operation
of Dean Davis and "Doc" Bird-,
well of the College Store, the Stu-
dent Council and AWS Council
have succeeded in the efforts to se-
cure a private office in which to
work out the many details and
obstacles of student organization.
The Student Council, in taking
the responsibility of student gov-
ernment and control, has been
hampered by lack of ay office or
private meeting place./"Dpc" Bird-
well, seeing the needs and difficul-
ties of the council, graciously re-
linquished his storeroom above the
Recreation Hall to be used as an
office, once again proving himself
to be a real friend to the stu-
dents. The storeroom can be and
will be quickly transformed into
an office for both the student
souncil and the AWS council.
Recent elections have increased
the number of members on the
student council from three to
twelve. The names of. the mem-
bers follow; Edwin Dyess, presi-
dent; Jack Fauntleray, vice-presi-
dent; Ora B. Nichols, secretary;
Sammy Casbeer, Nora Belle La-
tham, George Collins, Bill Merrill,
Joe Emerson, Sid Langford, Lil-
lian Burns, R. D. Boland, and
Rbesa Cawyer.
TWO HALLS TIE IN
CLEAN-MTEST
The Dump clean-up contest,
which^ lasted a month, ended with
a tie between the lower hall of
the old annex and the upper hall
of the new annex. '
The Dump girls co-operated in
keeping their rooms and halls
clean. Each morning the halls and
rooms were judged by various
girls and faculty members, and a
report of the best hall was posted
daily in the parlor.
The winning girls are to be re-
warded with an entertainment
soon after the holidays, but the
nature of the entertainment has
not been stated.

SLNICK ATTENDS
FINE ARTS PART!
Santa Claus made his appear-
ance on Tarleton campus Tuesday
night when he attended the Christ-
mas party held by the' Fine Arts
Club in the little auditorium of
the conservatory. The typical St.
Nicholas, he made his entrance
and departure through the fire-
place at the rear of the stage, as
Club members and guests watch-
ed in awe.
During St., Nicholas' short stay
he was entertained in a program
with Reba Statum as leader. Pi-
ano, voice, and piano numbers
were given as Santa relaxed after
his long, weary journey from the
North Pole.
Following Santa Claus' depar-
ture midst sleigh bells and the
patter of reindeer hoofs, the
group played Christmas games,
.again led by Reba Statum. Be-
tween games, Mr. Froh and Mr.
Wilkins, by a special radio hook-
up, revealed choice bits of gossip
on unfortunate members present.
As the party drew to its close,
the Christmas tree was raided and
presents given to members of the
Club. Typical of the gifts were toy
cars, whistles, .and candy, all of
which threw receiver^ into a pan-
orama of joy. Refreshments were
served, including sandwiches, hot
chocolate, and cookies..
^tory of Cfyrtstmaa
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out
a decree from Caesar Augustus, ihat all the worlti
should be taxed.
And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was
governor of Syria.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galiee, out of the city
of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and
lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary ;his second wife, being great
with child. .
And so iti was, that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished that she should be delivered, ■
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and, laid him-in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the ifin.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and
they were so afraid.
An the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavinly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good,
will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away
from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to
another, let us now go even unto Bethlethem, and see
this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Maryland Joseph
and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad
the saying which wa3 told them concerning the child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those thinga
which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary Jcept all these things, and pondered them
in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising
God for all the things that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.—Lufee 2:1-21.
