It is the element which guides all other virtues to their best functional per il nuance.''

After the lecture, Margot Atkin, di rector of the College units, and Miss Benson met with the Operating com mittee of the campus unit. Students Take Part In Candle Lighting (Continued from page 1, column 1) The Speech choir will read the Na tivity story from the Gospel of St. Luke, and the Magnificat. Then, with the words I touch you, O candle of faith, with light ... I christen you with fire, Sheila Finney, president of the Student Activities Council, will light the huge All-College Christmas candle, with a taper kindled from the Sanctuary Lamp in the Chapel. Slowly the lights will go out all over the assembly. Then, with a single ta per, symbol of Christian unity, burning en the stage, the students will sing Silent Night, and the assembly will dismiss in silence. I met you on a Loop street-corner this afternoon remember? No, of course you wouldn't. In your brave, red finery, you stood alone and apart from the hustling shoppers, close to the curb to be out of everyone's way. You seemed, as you almost apologetically tinkled your worn silver bell, like a radio operator at some faraway post, touching his keys in Morse code . . . knowing that a message was being sent . . . wondering if it was being received. Not until twilight deepened into night were you ready to pocket your bell and carry away your paper-covered chimney. Because I was still standing at the bus- stop nearby, I heard you murmur to yourself, I suppose they'll be demanding a 30- pcrcent increase in their Christmas 'gimmes' this year. Those last words, which you meant no one to hear, started me supposing too . . . thinking of a world completely free of selfish and material desires, and the even more selfish means of fulfilling them. This Christmas, Santa, I'm going to pretend that each of us can have only one wish, one gimme, as you call it. It was a task to choose mine. I felt like a starving little boy told to pick one apple from an orchard an acre large. Then, my heart remembered the children of suffering Europe . . . boys and girls to whom Santa Claus and Christmas mean nothing . . . babies who can spell the word bomb hut cannot pronounce the name Jesus Christ. The innocent enchant ment of childhood was taken from them by men who called them enemies and properties of the state. How can they have faith in God when they have no faith in man, who was made to do God's work upon earth? They have missed so much, dear Santa. The greatest possession of childhood love is lost to them, because they have never received love. These same children, when the quick- years fly, will be our fellows in the one world that inevitably must be. They will be the bankers with whom we will deal, the merchants with whom we will trade. They will be the farmers and manufacturers whose products we will share and the scientists whose discoveries will be ours. Can we be brothers in action and destiny if in thought and philosophy we differ? Can they ever trust us when they have never learned of the brotherhood of man through such means as the Christmas message . . . and. if, too many times, we forget to be examples of that brotherhood? If I were to make just one wish in this new December of peace, it would he that the story of Christmas he given to all the children of the world . . . and repeated to those of us who think we have grown beyond its mystical meaning. I would give them Christmas with all the trimmings that make it heartwarming and happy The miniature crib . . . the sequin-bright evergreen and sharp, spicy holly ... the candy and trinkets, the carols and hymns. . . But I would wish most of all that, even in the smallest and sparsest of Christmas celebrations, they would find the secret of its spirit. They must see that to give is not to give-in. For one is born of charity, strength, and confidence . . . the other can spring only from hate, weakness, or fear. When all of us realize the power of the love which brought the Son of God to us on Christmas day, there can be no fear . . . and the world of all who come after us will be one. You can bring me this Christmas, Santa, the promise of your prayers and the prayers of all your fellow-saints, that my wish will come true. Love, Flov Alumna Addresses Mathematics Club The 1944-'45 president of the Mathe matics section of the Science Forum, Rose Wirth, returned to Mundelein to speak at the Nov. 19 meeting of the group. Miss Wirth, who is studying at North western for her Master's degree, dis cussed requirements for graduate work in her field. Manage Tournament .

To some people, the New Year wiHj bring a nostalgic little whisper of Auldj Lang Syne ... to others it will mean the golden opportunity to start all over again correcting the habits they start to correct last year. To the majority, of course, 1945 will be the date used in place of 1946, at least, until March. Then . . . there are 365 days of mem-) ories, never to be forgot by the Mun delein students who went places andj did things during 1945. Let us imagine that this is New Year1 Eve . . . early in the evening, of courseJ when everyone is still at home. Bout agile and psychic, we are flying from) house-to-house, listening in on each Mun delein girl's thoughts as she reviews thd frolicsome highlights of the past year. Many more months will have to past before Mildred Stanek stops thinking about the Loyola Lake Shore Qna Lounge dance on Thanksgiving Evd In like frame of mind are Dolores Hai tigan, who stopped off at the Pumd Room on Thanksgiving Day, and Col-1 leen Rettig and Angela Krieter, who dashed up to New York for the holi day. Favorite restaurants, where the serv-j ice was always good and steaks always rare, are part of 1945 for Catherine) Anne Brennan, Jean Piatt, and Jennie Spadafora, who favor lunching at thd Camellia House . . . Beverly Wood- lief, who will cast her vote for til Yar . . . Lois Hintze and Muriel Hasten, who are voting for the IvanJ hoc. Much about music can be added bd Nancy Enzweiler, Noreen Walsh, Betty Church, and Nanette Salisbury, who) have an affinity for the orchestras at) the Drake, the Edgewater, and thd Empire Room. Two of Margaret Monckton's nicest) 1945 evenings were spent hearing The) Student Prince and The Desert SongJ And Rosemary Viglione and Natalie Formusa will never think coldly of thd Ice Follies. The front pages in many memory- books are devoted to little trips awad from it all . . . such as the weekend jaunt to Purdue university made bd Betty Ward and Patricia Lorigan . . .1 Irene Kenney's Thanksgiving stay ifl Detroit . . . The wonderful Christmas' back home in North Dakota spent bd Mary Jane McNeal . . . Betty Niesen'i trip to trim a Christmas tree down in) Florida. .. . . And so we put away these mem ories until another time, always keeping in mind that years are made unforget table by much more than just dining and dancing. We think you know what we mean . . . it's all hound up in words like be happy and do things for others . . . Good luck to all ofj you in 1946 Combine Talents vti Christmas Program (Continued from page 1, column 4.1 and Patricia Hcreley. Finale of th program will be the stirring Hallelujah) chorus from the Messiah.
