THE MICHIGAN DAILY



Coeds Create
Gay Packages,
For Presents
Imaginative Wrapping
With Greens, Ribbons
Add To Yuletide Spirit
Local stores are featuring a wide
variety of gay Christmas wrap-
pings again this year.
It seems that each year the se-
lection of colorful wrapping paper,
stickers, and ribbons becomes more
varied.
Coeds interested in wrapping
their gifts to transform them into
unique creations will have a hey-
day carrying out their ideas.
Half the fun of giving Christ-
mas gifts is making them eye-
catching and watching with de-
light as they are opened.
Even the smallest gift will"take
on added importance when the
wrapping shows that time, imag-
ination" and thought has been
spent on it.
This year manufacturers are
featuring matched Christmas pa-
per, stickers and ribbons all in
the same imaginative design and
color scheme. They are available
in many striking colors.
However, nothing will ever re-

With the spirit of old St. Nick
in the air, the familiar campus
scenes will soon don a new attire,
as they are dressed up with the
traditional Christmas trimmings.
Familiar places such as the li-'
brary will change overnight like
magic into representations of min-
iature Christmas card scenes.
CAMPUS activities will complete
this picture of a typical box of
Christmas Cards, as all the usual
views included in such a collection
will be represented.
Catching the spirit of good
cheer, dormitory and sorority
life will center around tradition-
al yuletide breakfasts, dinners,
and parties.
The residents of Martha Cook
will start the holiday season with
their annual breakfast and "Mes-
siah" supper.
* *
COMPLETE with a bugle rev-
eille at 6:15 a.m. the breakfast will
include a candle-lit room-to-room
procession to the dining room
where breakfast will be served
amidst appropriate carols.
Soloists from "The Messiah,"
faculty members, and guests will
be on hand for "the Messiah"
supper presented each year by
Martha Cook after the Sunday
evening performance.
Rounding out the number of
houses having breakfasts are Ade-
lia Cheever, and Pi Beta Phi. Each
year the new members of Pi Phi
are initiated into the traditional
house festivities with a tree trim-
ming party complete with the
reading of poems and toys under
the tree.

THE FOLLOWING morning, ac-
tives are ushered into breakfast
by a host of new members singing
carols.I
A formal dinner scene will bes
seen at the Chi Omega and Kap-
pa Delta houses, when these two
groups present their annual
Christmas dinners.
After reading poems describing
the various members, the gaily
wrapped presents will be gathered

up from under the tree
to a needy family.

STRAINS of "Hark the Herald
Angels Sing," "Joy the World,"
and many other songs will float
downward to residents of Jordan
Hall, as the dorm glee club carols
its way to the dining room for
their annual dinner.
Following the dinner, gifts will
be exchanged and a musical pro-
gram presented.
