And about Christmas we especially like: T HE solemn procession of Candle- lighting viewed this year with an undisguised lump in our throats because we're seniors and this will be our last Candlclighting as Mundelein students . . . the plaintive strains of I'm Dream ing of a White Christmas from the corner juke box, while our thoughts are on the boys whose Christmas will he celebrated in the midst of palm trees and coral reefs . . . the spicy fragrance of pine trees and holly . . . the Christ mas carols ringing through the halls . . . the bright papers, silver-ribbons, and satin bows. W/E also enjoy hurrying to hide presents when the wrong person walks into the room . . . dashing to mail last minute Christmas cards . . . wondering if our small cousin still be lieves in Santa Claus . . . hoping against hope that our big brother will be home to attend Midnight Mass with the fam ily. A ND this Christmas we will all be dreaming of next Christmas when I'll Be Home For Christmas may be more than a song. Merry Christmas to you all.
