Whristmas | Dane Dick Coy And His Orchestra Play; Decorations In Seasonal Taste 1 1 Of outstanding interest to the college set was the annual Christmas ball of the Damas Club, danced in the University gym tonight from 9:30 to i1:3?V Music for the Damas was furnished by Dick Coy and his Florida Coastal { Hotel Orchestra from the University of Chicago. This twelve piece orchestra lias played for several of the large dances given by Dartmouth, Yale and - other northern universities. It has also appeared on the Keith circuit in Atlantic City and Worcester, Massachusetts. n. Decorations for the dance were under the direction of Mrs. Susan Guignard Sparks, who ha? had charge of those for the last several dances. The Christmas theme was carried out in the decorations. In the center of the gym was an immense silver star suspended from the ceiling and hanging low over the heads of the dancers. Radiating from the star were long rays of yellow celophanc, sparkling in the glow cast by the lights. An interesting and novel feature of the scheme was the attractive arrangement at each of the windows. Small > houses of varying colors were built around each window. The windows of the gym served as windows in' the houses and in each window was placed a large holly wreath. This presented a holiday appearance outside as well as inside the gym. The orchestra was placed on a rostrum in the rear of the hall. The stand was attractively decorated in* Christmas colors. Behind the stand was a tall arrangement of candelabra with yellow candles. 1 ~ Duke University School of Medicine DURHAM, N. C.

J f Prominent Sti Letters 1 * A countless number of letters have been received by this publication addressed to "Santa Claus, North Pole," but which were not delivered to the proper address because the Scotchmen forgot to pay the postage. In the hope that Mr. Claus will see this edition of The Gamecock, the letters are printed in full below, with slight alterations. Troy Stokes: "Your most celebrated beneficent Sir: I feel that the time has come to do homage unto those unto whom homage is due. I feel that it is my solemn duty to exert my most strenuous exertions to bring pressure to bear upon the student body in order that it recognize you, most noble Sir, in your most worthy object in life. . . . and before I close, might I add that I'd appreciate a few full ballot boxes in favor of my candidate for May Queen? Your own little "Stogie." J. W. Brown: "Ain't cha got sump'in fer me, ole Boy? It's high time you showed me that I'm appreciated around dis yere place. If you'll bring me more politics, I'll orate fer yer. Most truly yours, J. W. Brown. P. S. Call me "Wiley." Helen Staples: "Can't you send me in some lousy copy for The Carolinian? It's so hard to judge between the fine contributions we have been receiving. I'd also like to have a free round trip pass on the Hobo Special to Virginia for the holidays. Yours in the arms of Morpheus, 4Hel.' " Bill Broughton: "Santy, I must have some decent clothes to wear around the campus. I just must be dressed properly, especially when it rains and everyone is looking up to me to see what the well-dressed Palmetto Player wears. With a villainous leer, Willie." William Dean: "Mr. Claus, I find it essential that I secure more copy paper at once, as the Columbia Record has refused to furnish me any longer. Histrionically, Wee Willie." Joe Norwood: "Mr. Nicholas, Esquire: Art thou in proper mood to receive my request for a less number of final examinations? Thou must remember, but tellest thou not it, how I slept through one June two years ago. In a masculine way, Joey. P. S. I'm an Oxford man." Earl Clary: "Hi! Nickl Where's all that fan mail I'm supposed to be getting? 'Course I don't need a fan a la Uncle Sam, but I could use some alumni small change. The best athlete's foot on the campus, Earl."

Dr. Havilah Babcock: "Most omnipotent bringer of Christmas cheer: My one and only wish is that you bring us enough bricks to complete our walks. You could bring me some more cider. Those University sots have just about finished my supply. By the way, could you spare me a little mortar? I almost forgot to mention that I could use a new hunting jacket with which to do the dirty part of my brick-laying project. Euphoniously, Hava-a-lila." John Bolt Culbertson: "Me and my gang of politicians are anxiously awaiting your arrival. In the name of all that's unholy, bring us some people that we can politic and frame elections for. Our bank rolf needs replenishing. Your li'l albino, Johnny." Coach Laval: "The last batch of football men weren't so bad, 'cept they lost some games they shouldn't had to.
