EDITORIAL
“Hail to the Lord’s Anointed” is the
song sung in praise of the little Christ
Child, “Great David’s Greater Son.”
This is the season for rejoicing, the
Christmas Season which is climaxed by
the celebration of the birth of the Christ
Child. This is the season of Noel, of
Gloria in Excelsis, of the angels singing
and the shepherds watching, of the small
donkey and the great star.
Let us go hack almost 1950 years to
the time of the birth of our Lord Jesus.
From our reading and the stories told to
us about this wonderful birth, we can
create within our minds a picture that
is vivid and real.
Can't you see them? Can’t you hear
the little donkey’s tiny hoofs as he carries
the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem town?
Can't you see kind Joseph walking beside
them stopping every now and then to
inquire for a place to stay? Finally he
is allowed to occupy a stable that is to
serve as the birthplace of his newborn
child. “Great David’s Greater Son.”
That same little child w r as the bearer
of good-will and of peace on earth. This
is the same child of which the Angels
sang to the frightened shepherds those
many, many years ago. This is the birth
day of the Christ Child, “Great David’s
Greater Son.”
While we are celebrating the Yuletide,
let us not forget its significance but keep
it brightly burning within our hearts,
and remember that Christmas is not just
the time for the exchanging of presents
but that it marks the birth of God’s only
begotten Son.
A Merry Christmas and a Very Happy
New Year to All.
STUDENTS, ATTEND!
The Staff of Life is IIread.
Jesus took five loaves of bread and a
few fish and broke them. In this way he
fed a whole multitude. Jesus later took
bread at the last supper, broke it saying:
“Take, eat; this is my body. This do in
remembrance of me.”
*****
The Staff of the Shepherd is a Crook.
The shepherd uses his crook to keep
the flock together and to rescue a lost
lamb. Jesus said that if any man have a
hundred sheep and one of them is lost,
does he not leave the ninety and nine, go
into the mountains, and seek that one
which went astray? And if it so happens
that he finds it, he rejoices over it more
than over the ninety and nine which did
not go astray.

The Staff of Music is the Support for the
Notes.
*****
In a like manner, the Staff of the
paper serves to prepare material for the
reading pleasure of the college com
munity and its friends, to keep a feeling
of unity between the alumnae and the
undergraduates, and to act as a support
for the paper.
The Staff supplements your articles to
keep you informed. It sees that your
ideas are put in the proper form. It does
the work for you.
THANKSGIVING RALLY
The Thanksgiving rally at Spelman
College under the supervision of Miss
Felton and Miss Dailey went off with a
hang. Through their persistent urging
that we give to those who are less for
tunate than we are, the students of Spel
man did their best not to let these two
young women down and gave until it
hurt.
Money came in from everywhere. We
are especially proud of the Senior class,
which came out on top. This was matched
by the contributions from the various
other classes, clubs, organizations, build
ings and grounds department, kitchen
workers, hospital worker, household de
partment and the various Spelman clubs
which are located in different sections of
the country.
The goal set for the Thanksgiving Rally
was $1,000.00. Although we did not quite
reach our goal, we came very close to it,
having a total of $925.07.
We salute Miss Felton and Miss Dailey
for a very successful effort.
Contributions were as follows:
Faculty and Staff $399.00
Freshman Class 71.02
Sophomore Class 55.50
Junior Class 58.00
Senior Class 138.25
