Green English lanes, snowy groves, a lordly castle,
Christmas time. Down through all the ages we have in herited from our English fathers the love of Christmas; and the century-old custom of worship and song, of feast ing and making merry to express our joy in the birth of our Lord. This is the one tradition enshrined above all the rest in the heart of our race. Our college finds the reason and meaning of our annual celebration of Christmas in this fact.
On the evening of the last day before the girls go home for the holidays, Ye Olde English Christymas Festival is kept. The students of the Art Department transform the dining room into a lordly baronial hall. In the center is a dais for the lord and his lady and their guests of honor. Just in front of the dais, and running the length of the hall is a cleared space for "ye entertainers,,--the dancers from the Physical Culture Department, the players from the realm of Dramatic Art, and the ballad singers from the Department of Music. The Home Department prepares the feast of the boar's head and plum pudding; the girls from Home Management arrange the tables in "ye good olde En glish" way, to seat the lords and ladies, the yeomen and the peasants; for on Christymas night must every man be equal.
The Lord of Misrule orders the heralds to sound their trumpets* and the procession begins. The ballad singers, chanting "Adeste Fideles," form a lane through which comes the noble lord of the manor, leading his lady and their honored guests. They mount the dais and stand be hind the board.
Into the hall there streams a motley throng; a lady in a silken gown walks with bold Robin Hood; here squire and peasant--there milkmaid and lord. A thousand colors min gle and merge into a growing whole. These feasters pro ceed to the tables awaiting them, and standing, form a living mosaic that rivals the old masters for beauty and splendor of coloring.
There is a distant sound of singing. It is the mediaeval Boar s Head 3ong. Breathless quiet reigns in the hall as the butler brings in and presents before the lord a great boar s head, garnished with apples, and decked with bay

and holly. After the singers finish the song, the lord, standing reverently, asks God's blessing on the feast. The whole merry company break forth into the carol "God rest you, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay," after which, with great rustling of chairs and dresses, the company seat themselves, and the evening's fun is on.
The Lord of Misrule announces "Ye Dance of Ye Wild Heads." Their strange heads and crazy antics start a storm of merriment among the guests.
A scarlet fool, in cap and bells, darts through the as sembly to find a place at the table. A bevy of "Yong Gyrles" of the peasantry sing to the lords and ladies the old carol "Listen Lordlings." Following on their heels comes the "Revels of the Fools" by "Ye Jester Band," to delight the merry crowd.
But hush a second! The Lord of Misrule is announcing that Certayne Maskers will give the play, "St. George and the Dragon." In there stalk a right brave troupe, with a mighty St. George and a wonderful Dragon, which he is in the act of vanquishing in a truly heroic manner, when the play is interrupted. "Bobbing Joe" prances in with his merry Morris Dancers, and the martial act of St. George and the Dragon considerately pauses, to resume its tragic passion when the dance is done.
When the play is over, the note changes. The singers and all the people join in singing the carol, "We Three Kings of Orient Are." But after the singing, with a great courtly bow the Lord of Misrule presents "Certayne Mum mers" who enact the ancient Lutterworth Christmas Play, "for the edification of the honorable assembly."
Again the more serious note is caught in the lovely carol, The First Noel, sung by the whole group; but as its last note dies away, in rushes the Fool excitedly calling that the great doctor has come--the great doctor who can make everybody just as he wishes to be. Thereupon fol lows the side-splitting farce of transforming the fatttest woman in the world into the slimmest and the slimmest into the fattest. As the doctor and his well pleased pa tients withdraw, a bunch of Jack Tars rollick through a jolly hornpipe.
Then follows a beautiful solo with charms--the Babe of Bethlehem. By now the serious note is becoming dom-

YE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
inant and the spirits of the fcasters are growing quieter, but not yet is the vim of merriment worked out. "Country men and wimmin, overflowing with spontaneous merriment, dance a rustic reel." This is followed by a "Courtly Dance," graceful and stately, done by "Lords and Ladies" with an tique charm and elegance--beautiful in the extreme.
The clownish fun making is forgotten. Each guest lights a tiny taper before her on the table. As the soft candle light suffuses the room the brighter lights are dim med and then extinguished. Softly the group begins to sing, "Silent Night, Holy Night," The company arises, and each member of the party carrying the tiny light, they pass from the hall singing, and feeling the wonderful old hymns.
Merely to outline the programme, as has been done here, gives the impression, possibly, of a jumble of sacred song and wild carousal. The real effect is far different. There are the two elements, it is true; it would not be Christmas without both. But through all the complex elements of color and action, feast and frolic, and worshipful song there runs the harmonizing thread of artistic unity, working up to an all absorbing climax in the taper lighted singing of the grand old hymns of the nativity. It is a work of art-- genuine, spontaneous, sincere, reverent and joyous art. A gay revel, it is true, but with a deeply religious signifi cance ; a feast for the whole being that the participant will never forget.
'Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale, Twas Chistmas told the merriest tale; A Christmasi gambol oft would cheer, The poor man's heart thru half the year.

Old Mandy, the cook, was sitting before the kitchen fire,

smoking her pipe, when Mrs. Wilson, her mistress, came

to give the order for dinner. "Mandy," she said, "I want the very best dinner you
can possibly cook for to-day. Senator and Mrs. Adams are

to be our guests, you know."

"Law, Miss Bettie!" exclaimed Mandy, `company on

New Year's Day? Don't you know you's gwme to have

company dis whole year round?"

,

"Never mind about that, Mandy, said Mrs. Wilson, who

knew the old darky's ideas. "Let's talk about the (himer.

"Yessum, Miss Bettie. I's got de cakes and de pies

cooked. What else you want, Miss Bettie ? Yessum, and

de turkey's already cooking. Can't you smell im.

"Mandy, you must do your best on that turkey, and

make your very best stuffing." "You don't has to tell me dat, Miss Bettie, I fixes de

turkey good, alus."

.,

TTT., , . ,,

"Yes, Mandy, I know that," said Mrs. Wilson, trying

to soothe the old darkey's hurt feelings. "I want you to

prepare apple salad and--0, I needn't stand here and tel

you. Here's the menu on this paper. Look at it carefully,

and see if you understand."

...

Mandy took the paper, and struggling with the hard

words, read haltingly to the end.

, ,,

"Miss Bettie?" she queried aghast, when she had fin

ished.

, ,,,,

"What is it, Mandy?'

"De peas! You's forgot de peas!

"The peas. Why, what do I want with peas? asked

her amazed mistress.

,,

, ,, j

"Why don't you know, Miss Bettie, answered Mandy,

"if you don't eat peas on New Year's Day, you won't have

no money de whole year? An', as many peas as you eat

on dat day, Miss Bettie, dat many dollars you s sho gwine

do that. What makes you believe such things? "Believe, Miss Bettie? Why, honey, its true as de
gospel. I's alus cooked, and et peas n New Year s Day,
and I's got to cook and eat peas to-day, Miss Bettie.

NEW YEARS SUPERSTITIONS
"O, pshaw! Mandy, you know you don't believe that,-- but go ahead; to please you, you may cook some peas." And Mrs. Wilson left the kitchen much amused at Mandy's cred ulity.
At dinner Mrs. Adams remarked delightedly, "Oh, Mrs. Wilson, I see you have peas for dinner. I'm so glad, for who wants to forget the good old superstitions ?--As many peas as one eats on New Year's Day, so many dollars one will have during the year."

"Law-dee! Here's New Year nearly ober, and I ain't made narry res'lution yit!" exclaimed Mose as he sat warm ing himself by the fireside. "What if I'd done gone and forgot bout it till it was too late? I'd jis a bin ruint, dat's what I would; caze dey ain't nuthin what helps a feller to be better n' his New Year res'lutions.

res'lutions after youse made 'em. Dem chickens good as

out right now.

"Now, for number fo."

Mose paused with profound satisfaction as he mused

on his deep virtue, and was really at loss for the next res

olution. So perfectly was he approving himself that there

really seemed little else to be resolved. He yawned re

peatedly, and leaned back in his chair, luxuriating in the

warmth of the fire and his self-satisfaction. Soon he was

snoring deeply.

Enter Mandy.

"Can't you hear nuthin?" she shouted. "I'se been a

callin' and a hollering fer you to come and git me some

wood. You'se de laziest piece o' trash I'se ever seen!"

Mose, very angry at being awakened, sat upright, "You

good fer nuthin' black nigger, if you don't git out o' here

pretty quick, I'll git some wood fer you! Ain't you know

better'n to wake me up when I'se asleep?"

Mandy, getting frightened, started out meekly. Upon

reaching the door she called .back, "Well, youse better come

out and tell me which o' dem chickens to ketch. How I

knows de one you wants?"

"Jes ketch any of 'em you wants to--dey's all in de

coop; and be shore you fry 'em good 'n brown."

Then Mose leaned back in his chair and was soon fast

asleep once more.

An Imtatrcl (SljnfitmaH Clift
"I always did think Christmas festivals are such a nuisance; they cause so much trouble, and especially at college when a fellow is leaving for home early the morning after, and his grip is yet to pack." So I was grumbling.
Still I was determined to try to have a nice time just because poor little Clara, my room-mate, who was too sick to attend the festival, had urged so much that I should, saying that I could pack before the rising bell rang the next morning, or after the frolic.
Clara was such a dear girl, but so dreadfully poor. When I asked her what she would like for a Christmas present she began crying and replied, "Please don't! I can't give you one."
It was twelve o'clock when we returned from the fes tival. I hurried to my room to get my grip packed. Clara was so still that I crept over to her bed. She was sound asleep, but her little face was red and hot with fever. I turned to my own bed, and to my surprise there upon it was my grip neatly packed. On the very top was a Christ mas card, and in tiny letters across it was printed, "Merry Christmas. Clara."
I am still wondering if Clara didn't enjoy the frolic more, and if I wasn't the sicker girl.

It was a jolly crowd that gathered at our home to ring

in the glad New Year. Mother had planned so many interesting games for us.
But we were always being interrupted by Jack, my little
five-year-old brother, and his little dog Dan. It was Jack's delight to torture his dog, although he claimed he loved

him.

r-

At last we were making our New Year resolutions. Jim

resolved to carry Kate's book to school the remainder of the

term, providing she accepted him for her desk-mate. In

return Kate agreed to accept Jim's offer. Sarah resolved

to spend her drug store money for Red, Cross seals, and Joe

resolved to drop his slang. At this point other resolutions were interrupted by a
low murmuring in the next room. I quietly crossed the hall, and on a long rug before the fire I found Jack, with Dan clasped tightly in his arms. They were both almost
asleep. I startled Jack by asking why he was not m bed. He replied in a sleepy voice, "Oh! sister hush, Ise solving

to never pull Dan's tail no more."

How often in the daily routine of life do we hear the question raised: Do we have a democracy after all? And this is in America, the very home of democracy and dem ocratic government. This question is not restricted to na tional life, tout is equally pertinent to college life.
Before a girl sends in her application blank to a school she thinks a great deal about the kind of discipline main tained there. Of course she wants student government ; we all do; and we who through the enjoyment of its privi leges have come to a fuller appreciation of its value, know from experience that it is the highest type of
control. But when we first land into that much looked forward
to stage of life, "college days," we are often disappointed. We are apt to expect to go on doing just as we have been doing, or just as we please, and are often amazed at the number of regulations already established for our own di rection and control. We must hark back to the funda mental principles of democracy for our answer; and learn that we govern ourselves and are governed by that deeper sub-consciousness of the group which we term student
morale. Our present life in school, just as elsewhere in the wide
world, is very much colored with the experiences and out
come of the past. School rules, like the laws of the land, are our agree
ments of yesterday to do certain things certain ways. But how about to-day; and how about the new comers' wishes ? Of course the hope of progress lies just in this new wish, new thought; but it is the essence of democratic rule that the new thought enact itself into law by definite
recognition as law.

EDITORIAL

We need to recognize that it is not so much the great

ness or littleness of doing the little things in school, but

the spirit in which we do them, that puts the stamp of our

character upon it.

After all, nothing can make for real student government

but the triumph of its principles in practice.

tent thereof."

New Year's, the first day of the year, has been cele brated in almost all countries from the earliest times by some sort of festival. In most countries where celebrations have been held on New Year's day, these have consisted largely in feasting and in the interchange of presents.
While the South is richer than any other country or section in the old traditions and customs, if we only look about to find them, the New Year traditions and customs are singularly lacking. At Christmas tide we find the de lightful institution of exchanging gifts, which has survived since remotest antiquity. On this day, in the South, more even than on the Fourth of July, small boys may be seen shooting firecrackers; indeed the small boy seems to have the intuitive conviction that this celebration is older than the Declaration of Independence, and insists on acting ac cordingly.
On Harvest Home Day in old England, it was the cus tom for everyone to go into the woods and hold a great feast. When our staunch old Puritan forefathers came over to this country they tried to break away from the old pagan celebration and institute Thanksgiving as a day of worship; but even they went to the wilds turkey hunting the day before. We people of the South, it seems, have never got the distinction quite clear in our heads; and Thanksgiving and Harvest Home procedure still get mixed to the extent that the hunting fields are apt to be fuller of men on that day than the churches!
We find many old customs and superstitions prevailing; why not the New Year customs? Other countries observe
Twelve

THE PINE BRANCH New Year's in strikingly interesting manners. But of what does the New Year's celebration in the South consist? It is true we have the ancient custom of keeping watch on New Year's eve and ushering in the New Year with bells-- or more likely, with the less beautiful but more character istic steam whistle. But is it really enjoyed? The parties are usually a plain bore. There is nothing to do by way of amusement, and one is really glad when the bells finally ring or the whistles scream, and one can say good-night and go to bed.
The old customs are really delightful--they could make the dull New Year's eve very bright--and should not be allowed to die. Already many of them are extinct; but they could easily be revived.
A few years ago the beautiful Christmas carols were practically unknown in our immediate section. The schools of the country have, by deliberate intent, revived this de lightful old custom of singing carols, and now the children know a great deal more about the true Christmas spirit than their parents did. Would it not be well for the schools and colleges to take hold of the celebration of New Year's and revive its significance?

Vesper Services. Everyone looked forward with great pleasure to our vesper services on Sunday evening, December the eleventh, and practically every girl was present when the time came. Of course there was a reason--Miss Pearl Todd, a mis sionary living here in Valdosta, came out to talk to us. Perhaps the part about her that was most interesting, was that she is to leave for China in January, and, naturally, we were anxious to hear of her future plans from herpoint of view. Her talk received the greatest attention all the way through, and it will be long remembered by every college girl.

Several of the alumnae availed themselves of the occa sion of the house warming to visit Alma Mater. Among those present were Mrs. Jim Stump, of the class of '16; Mrs. Barker, Frances Kaylor, of the class of '18; Miss Helen Palmer, of the class of '19; Misses Lois O'Quinn and Vir ginia Peeples, of the class of '21, and Mrs. L. L. Patten, Clyde Purcell, of the class of '17. The pleasure was mutual.
We realized more than ever that we are welcomed to visit Alma Mater. Let us remember always to drop in when we are near.
Marriage among the alumnae is in order now. On No vember 30, Lois May of Adel, a member of the class of '19, was married to Mr. Asa Day of Douglas.
On December 15, Miss Dorothy Fidler was married to Mr. Claud Chilton Powell, both of Thomasville.
On December 20, Miss Thelma Wilks of the class of '17, was married to Dr. Roy Hutchinson. Both were of Adel.
We regret to say that Miss Morgan MaJette, who has been so efficiently holding the position of teacher of vocal expression, has been forced to resign because of the need of an operation. She will be succeeded by Miss Beryl Van Natta of Lambertville, N. J.
