The Rarest Gift

Alumni, faculty, parents, staff, friends, and a partridge in a pear tree enjoyed the annual ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Holiday Party in December. Instead of French hens, guests enjoyed a wide array of other delectables, and afterwards indulged in a delightful yule log dessert (bûche de Noël). One stately bagpiper was enough to herald the traditional Boar’s Head Procession, and, later on, decidedly more than nine ladies were dancing to the big-band tunes of the Pranksters. Many wore their festive finery, and instead of gold rings, all partygoers went home with a ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï centennial lapel pin. (Bling makes everything merry and bright, doesn’t it?)
