To the Students of St. Mary’ :
C ollege:
As each of you jt'epare to enjoy
the ensuing holiday season and
make final preparations to return
to your homes and be with your
families, we want you to know that
all of us at St. Mary’ s College
wish for you the most blessed
Christmas and the most prosperous
of New Years.
George F. Boyer
Dean of Faculty
Candlelight
Service Held
One of the most impressive
events that is held on campus
is the Christmas Candlelight Service.
At this time the entire
student body and faculty gather
to give thanks and praise the birth
of a King. At one time the service
was held in Trinity Episcopal
Church, but due to the increase
in the student body, it
has been moved to St. Mary’ s
Hall.
This year the Candlelight Service
was held on Tuesday, December
13, at 8:15. As you
entered St. Mary’ s Hall, the feeling
of reverence and grace could
be seen and felt by all. Mr. B.
Elwood Fahl, faculty representative,
gave an opening prayer after
which the choir of St. Mary’ s
College under the direction of
Brantley D. Greeson and accompanied
by Mrs. Shirley Echard
presented the annual program.
Some of the songs which came
from the “ Ceremony of Carols”
by Benjamin Britten were “ There
is No Rose” , “ As Dew in Aprille” ,
and “ This Little Babe” .
As is the annual event, the Spirit
of Christmas, chosen by the faculty
and girls, is presented. This
year Kathy Heron was chosen to
represent the Spirit of Christmas.
She made a short address and as
is the custom, lighted the candle
of Mr. Greeson and the candle
of each person at the end of each
row of seats. They, in turn,
lighted their neighbor’ s candle.
As the choir filed out followed by
the audience, all were singing the
carol “ Silent Night” . Mr. Fahl
closed the program with a short
prayer as the people stood on the
steps of St. Mary’ s Hall. Many
left the service still holding their
glowing candles bringing peace
and l ight into a dark world.
H um a n i t i e s
P ro g r am O f f e r e d
“ Join the underground; you have
nothing to lose but your sleep.”
It is a universally acknowledged
fact that the educational process
reaches its lowest point in the
college classroom. In an effort to
reverse this situation, the students
and faculty of St. Mary’ s College
have organized a new humanities
program to begin next semester.
Under the sponsorship of Mr. Henley
and Miss Swearingen, the
course will be open to sophomores
on a volunteer basis, and will offer
no credit value.
Based on a seminar form, and
involving a small number of students
in each group, the program
will attempt to bring about an
understanding of the literary,
philosophical and historical approach
to the nature of the rebel
in society. All class discussion
will center around a list of required
reading to be studied by
the individual student independent
of class time.
For more information on this
unique course of study, or for a
preview of the reading material
to be covered, interested sophomores
should contact Mr. Henley
or a member of his planning committee.
