Christmas Lighting Sets Mood For Gay Holiday Entertainment
Attractive dorm room and home Christmas decorations demand only a little time and heighten holiday festivities. Pictured are two arrangements which you could do yourself after arriving home for Christmas vacation.
First step in decorating the room above was to create a point of interest on the large window shown in the top photograph. A miniature tree was made with short balsam branches arranged in a large size bread pan covered with gold paper. The pan was stuffed tightly with chicken wire to hold the branches in place.
Holes were cut in the top of the box to hold sockets of a Christmas tree string of multiple lights in an upright position. A secondary "tree" fashioned from Christmas cards and shiny ornaments was created on the blind itself.
The lighted valance, together with twinkling candles, creates fascinating reflections on the mirror-like ornaments. If your valence is not lighted, or, if your window does not contain canes three strings of Christmas lights entwined in greens above your window.
The top of the ornament was pried up enough to insert a wired intermediate socket for a tiny clear 12-watt bulb. The cord was taped tight to the back of the ornament and carried under the non-inflammable, sparkle-dotted cotton, down to a convenient outlet.
Across the room, as shown in the lower photograph, you can create an arrangement, for example, on top of your television set. All parts of the decoration are inexpensive "store items." However, to give dimension, depth, and glow, the large angel ornament was lighted.
Notice how, although the bulb is not visible, its rays encircle the tiny angel choir.
To silhouette the miniature tree and to give interesting color patches of light on the blind, a narrow cardboard box, cut to the length and height of the pan, was placed directly behind it.
Now you're ready to decorate your room at school or your living room at home. Happy holiday!

Caroling Capers Capture Hearts of Young and Old
"Tis the season to be jolly." as the saying goes.

During the few evenings that remain before Christmas vacation, University voices will be raised in song, serenading the campus with music of the Yuletide.
During the few evenings that remain before Christmas vacation, university voices will be raised in song, serenading the campus with the music of the Yuletide.
Fraternity men will sing to sorority women. Students, especially those with low grades, will serenade the houses of faculty members. Others will gather in small groups to sing, softly, to themselves.
One officer said he was admonishing students when another student opened an upstairs window and dunned a bucket of water on him.
But regardless of who carols to whom, the singing probably won't produce the effects that a serenade caused at Rice Institute in Houston, Tex.. Saturday.
It all began when 10 high school girls decided they should serenade a men's dormitory on the Rice campus to celebrate a football victory.
Finally eight Rice students and three of the high school girls were taken to the police station, where they were lectured and then released.
1 Fifteen police cars arrived,but the defenders of the peace were not recieved without malice. Students let the air out of the tires of three of the police cars and someone took the keys from another police car, making it necessary to have it towed back to the station.
As soon as the singing began, men of Rice rushed out of their dormitory to join in the fun. At one time there were approximately 400 men surrounding the 10 girls.
Guy T. McBride Jr., dean of students at Rice, said he did not cordone that she had been serious and that she could have been serious but I believe everyone had a good time."
Singing was not the only thing that happened in the next hour. Soon the co-educational gathering had become a riot, and police were called to restore order.

Italian Cuts in Italy? Westmore Says None
Rome, (UP) — Perc Westmore, Hollywood make-up expert and recognized world authority on feminine beauty, expressed satisfaction today that "There isn't a woman in Italy with one of those things"—an Italian haircut.
"There's not a woman in with one of those things that looks like someone ran over her head with a lawnmower," Westmore said.
Never press wooiens completely dry. Use a well-padded smooth board and a moderately hot iron. A too-hot iron makes the fibers brittle. Always stop pressing while the garment still is damp.
Cookbook covers can be given a thin coat of shellac to protect them from greasy finger-marks and becoming soggy from steam.
