CHRISTMAS AT CLARK CHRISTMAS — that glorious interval between Thanksgiving and the advent of the new year, is, undoubtedly, the most wonder­ ful season of the year. This joyous event, filled with memory­ making experiences, is now upon us. The students of Clark greet this Holiday Season with special enthusiasm. Christmas approaches the Clark College Family in the traditional manner. Month after month of the dull, hum-drum routine of less eventful days drag by, until, finally, this magic season arrives. In addition to the merry-making, colorful tinsels, and treasured gifts, the arrival of Christmas also precipitates a spirit of good-will and love-for-all- mankind attitude, which can be felt like an all encompassing blanket, covering the campus. All annoyances, petty rivalries, and tensions built up during the year seem to, in the words of Shake­ speare’s Hamlet, “. . . Melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,” and are replaced by love, a kinder and more fitting emotion. Many Clarkites are especially eager to begin the holidays, as a respite from the busy schedule most of us have maintained dur­ ing these past three hectic months. The cultural activities, football games, fraternity and sorority probations and, of course, endless classroom assignments, have been the order of quite a few days. In general, we are all looking forward to our “hard earned rest.” A word of advice to Clarkites on departing to enjoy the holiday season: “Get your rest while you may,” for, as we all know, only too well, there will be no chance to rest after the holidays. Much more will be demanded of us in all phases of campus activities during the remaining months of the school year. These activities will serve only as a prelude to the dreaded final exams in mid- January. On this happy note we close, but not before extending to you, on behalf of the entire Panther staff, our wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ^5a5S5as53aaîag53S^î8g5M3îagtSSgÇ»a3!5SîSgt5ag(3ÎS?tîag538g5»S5JSS53a^5agÇ5agt3SgÇîîSitî !SaîS«5SS55asSîSgtÂgE593ÏÎSâag55S55ag5ÎSg5îa3î8g{5Bg55ai5îSgiJBf55agiS5â5Sg5Sas55agtîSg(
