All must go and give in their names, each in his own city; and Joseph, being of David's clan and family, came up from the town of Nazareth, in Galilee, to David's city in Judaea, the city called Bethlehem, to give in his name there. With him was his espoused wife Marj'-, who was then in her pregnancy; and it Avas while they were still there that the time came for her delivery. She brought forth a son, her first born, whom she wrapped in his swaddling-clothes, and laid in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
In the same country there were shepherds awake in the fields, keeping night- watches over their flocks. And all at once an angel of the Lord came and stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone about them, so they were overcome with fear. But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; behold, the news I bring you is good news of a great rejoicing for the whole people. This day, in the city ,of David, a Saviour has been bom for you, no other than the Lord Christ. This is the sign by which you are to know him; you Avill find a child still in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger. Then, on a sudden, a multitude of the heavenly ai-my appeared to them at the angel's side, giving praise to God, and saying, Gloi-y to God in high heaven, and peace on earth to men that are God's friends.—Lzike 2:1-15

The Last Straw Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Editor: ELLIOT LAWRENCE, I am a Junior, and because of this Rosaliiid Patton and status I am undoubtedly biased in my all the boys in the band. opinions concerning the Junior Class. But I do not think that I hold myself above constinictive criticism. When Mr. Collins, in "THE LAST WORD," wrote "It's about time the Ju niors did something around here," I was eUfftuortii'si not hurt. When Mr. Collins replied to Bob DeLine's legitimate request for an explanation with "Steady, lad, let's not get panicky!" I passed it off as a hur ried, though tasteless, quip inserted just before press time. But when Mr. Collins, after sufficient reflection, writes an ar ticle like "THE LASlT WORD" of Dec. 1, 1950, that is the last straw. His evaluation of the Junior Class, BLUE GRASS ! CARILLON using the present Senior Class as an ir reproachable, unattainable standard, his vague speculations on class spirit, and his idiotic logic give the article the flav for your or of an "objective analysis of the U. S. Cfiristmas A." in Po-avda. The final blow falls when he self-righteously proclaims "The sub telle ject is closed . . ." with the same Al mighty-like authority that Bertie Mc- $^so Coi-mick has when he brands his Chicago Tribune the "world's greatest news plus tax paper." Truthfully, now, can Mr. Collins ac tually edit one of his columns and in all good conscience consider it fit for publi cation?
