P. C. Glee Club Returns From Successful Tour ! Presbyterian college’s 4 0 - v o i c e | robed choir returned from its whirl wind tour c^f Georgia Monday, amid accolades from throughout the Peach state. The club, conducted by Dr. Ed ouard Patte, sang nine times in eight cays before packed churches and made a special appearance at Tuske- gee Institute, Alabama’s famed Ne gro school. On three occasions, the program of sacred music and worship was broadcast over radio for a full hour. The glee club made a special radio appearance in Atlanta. The Georgia tour started in that capital city with a morning program on Decehiber 4. Other stops included: | Decatur, Marietta, Dalton, Columbus, ILaGrange, Albany, Thomasville and ) Moultrieville. j A member of the medical staff of i Emory university had this to say af- l ter hearing the Presbyterian choir: “I have never heard a finer group in tonal mass and depth. I heard most of the famed choral groups in Europe, including the Regensburg, Vienna and Palestrina choirs. But not even in Rome did I find a choir more satisfying than Presbyterian college’s choral group.” Conductor Patte said his organiza tion is now booked up until June, '1950, and that requests already are coming in for th? 1950-51 season.

T .o phrase is the Russian’s way o' :n ing: “Merry Christmas." I i .he past, the Russian’s Christ- was closely associated with rch; but how the day is ob- 1 rew that the religious life n.'ubjugated in the Soviet, v j.J have to be behind the run cuituin” to know. But it was not always like that. In other days, the Russian Christ- n us was much like the Ukrainian. T..erc‘ was a Santa Claus known at “Dcdushka Moroz" and there were traditional gifts of red boots for children and golden flippers for young girls. In certain parts of the country the "baboushka’’ (grandmother) •was the legendary dispenser of gifts. According to one story, she repented of unkindness and ever since has tried to make amends by distributing gifts to children at Christmas.

When he was a fat little boy of six, Thomas' father left Ger many to enlist In the United States navy, and Thomas’ mother brought the boy to New York to live. Along about the time stocky Tom my was 15 he landed his first job as an illustrator for Leslie’s Weekly at $4 a week. By the time he was 20 he was sent to England by the New York Illustrated News to sketch the Heenan-Sayers fight, an out standing sports event of the day.
