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.

END OF THE RAINBOW ... The
rainbow of at least one human de
sire had fulfillment at the end
when Judy Sue Warschauer found
herself face to face with the doll
of her dreams—and it was the very
one she wanted for Chlrstmaa.

Aho Alu to Say
“S Rojdestvona Xristovym.”
That’s what a Russian would say
to you if you were in Russia on
Christmas day and he wished to ex-
t 'd the season's greetings.
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.

Christmas has rolled around once
again and Santa Claus with round
red cheeks, jolly smile and chunky
figure looks the same as he did
nearly 90 years ago.
His creator was Thomas Nast,
one of America’s greatest cartoon
ists During the early 1830's he was
asked to illu: trate Clement Clark
Moore’s j.< • i. A Visit to St.
Nc' c :r known to us as

(•anti’s creator was born in
Bavaria in 1343, son of a musi
cian in a Bavarian army band.
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.
In 1862 he joined the staff of
Harper’s Weekly and began the se
ries of emblematic drawings which
continued throughout the Civil War
From those he created cert:,!'

The artist then gave Santa t
spy-glass so that during the yea
he might pick out the good childrei
from the bad, and also a big bool
in which to write their names am
keep their records.
This conception of Sants Claus
first appeared in 1863. Since that
time, the pictured Sants has been
the same, although the spy-glass
and pipe seem te have
dropped by the wap.
