"Little girls just love to run their fingers through it when they sit on my lap," Santa Claus said, taking the soft white strands of imported Yak hair from his closet. "This is the best beard I've had yet," Santa', alias Marshall Badt, '57Ph, said looking back on his eight years experience as ar Kris Kringle. The last beard Badt owned suf- fered from occupational hazards, "The kids really began pulling," Badt recalled. He admitted that "usually the kiddies are pretty, good about trying to please Santa. but there are always the smart' little boys who want to make sure I'm real." 'Scared Stiff' at First "I was scared stiff the first and even the second time I played Santa," he recalled. Badt, who visits the University Hospital and children's Christmas parties spon- sored by various clubs, first don- ned the costume in high school at St. Joseph, Michigan. -laily- He made his debut in the chorus SANTA CLAUS-Marshall Badt, an experienced Sa: production of "The Night Before puts on his black boots for another Christmas "a Christmas" when the director "de- p cided I'd fit the part." ding?
