Tod Sullivan, dressed as Santa Claus, will greet the children, whose ages range from seven to twelve, with toys. Sand- wiches, refreshments and ice-cream will be served to the children. Enter- tainment will be provided by mem- bers of the Glee Club and the Mimes and Mummers. The idea for the party was first suggested to the Fordham society by the director of the Bronx Chapter of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, by whom the children will be selected. Although few in number, the Ford- ham men readily took the task to heart, incurring all the responsibili- ties of financing and running the party. Various campus organizations, in- cluding the Freshmen Sodality and the Parthenian Sodality, are taking a great interest in this plan. During the week posters will be set up in various places on the cam- pus, and mite boxes will be passed around in the religion classes to help the Society raise $70 to finance the party. It is estimated that if every- one will contribute a nickel, the nec- essary money will be raised. The Fordham St. Vincent De Paul Society has recently been revived and started off the year with ten members, with Jack Henry as presi- dent and Justin Kelly as vice-presi- dent.
