As students reluctantly b)uckled
down for the last week of school
before the holidays, yuletide spirit
4 spread over the campus.
(Students crossing the snow-
mnantled campus near dusk were
greeted by cheery lights sparkl-
ing from a giant fir tree near the
center of the diagonal. Smaller
Christmas trees put in an appear-
ance in most University offices as
Semployees looked toward the holi-
days.

Yu"le spirit:
Today thousands of students
will gather on the Library steps

for the annual Christmas sing. A
Wand will be oan hand to lend
suppuort to student voices raised in
a vocal toast to the approaching
I olidays.
Annual fExodus
Meanwhile students with one
eye on home began making plans
for the annual trek out of Ann Ar-
bor. Thle exodus is expected to
start Friday, and continue over
the week - end. Transportation
authorities have slated extra
trans and buses, to handle the
overload.
Local merchants also report a
land office business as student
shoppers lammed stores in search
of suitable christmas gifts. The
usual gaudy Christmas ties were
going at a great rate as coeds
*ought to please their male
friends. Eager shoppers stood
three deep at store counters yes-
terday as pre-Christmas buying
got underway in earnest,
Current high prices may have
forced a lot of potential buyers
out of the automobile market, but
there still remain enough to put
"sold" tags, on all the vehicles
the industry is likely to produce
for the next two years or more.

Santa reached Ann Arbor by
way of New York, a century ago
--newspaper advertisements of
that day reveal.
Jewelry and musical instru-
ments would be rushed via canal
boats, lake steamers and railroads
to be ready to take their place
under Ann Arbor Christmas trees,
according to the "Mrite Democr at"
of December, 1847. Clocks aiicd
watches, rings and necklaces, ae-
eordionis and violins were all ad-
vertised. as corig direct from
New York."
More practical gift suggestions
asked shoppers to consider "large
family Bibles," "hats- and caps,
Yankee notions, and looking
glasses.".
Food prices, considerably more

agreeable, were evidently, more
stable too in those days, with ad-
vertisemen ts running for several
months without change. Butter
was being sold for 16 cents per
pound, eggs for 12 cents a dozen,
1847 marke°t r(,oorts showed.
A eorteer't, of 0-aditional C hrist-
r-nts tarols will be patyed on t'he
Baird Carillon Sunday, Dec. 21.
The bells of thei world-tamred
(arillon will ring out the "glad
tidings" on Christmas Eve, al-
though a relatively few students
will be here.
There will be no bells on Christ-
mas day, however, according to
Percival Price.
