Careful, Rudolph, Your Slip Is Showing: One little girl said after the annual children's Christmas party yesterday afternoon in Hill Auditorium: "That wasn't a real reindeer, I could see some men's feet." But real or not, the reindeer, Santa Claus and other features of the party sponsored by the University Inter-Fraternity Council made a big hit with the hundreds of Ann Arbor children who attended. Bags of candy and peanuts distributed to each child added to the success of the occasion. The little miss in the picture had something special -- a ride on the back of "Rudolph."

Christmas Scene Yule Log: An episode in the annual Ann Arbor Christmas Sing which will be held at Hill auditorium at 7:30 tonight represents the traditional hauling of the Yule log to the fireplace of an English manor house. The little lad who rides the log from the forest is Dick Barth. Bud Marshall is the page, while the lord and lady are played by Mr. and Mrs. Hardin A. Van Deursen. The sing is expected to attract a near-capacity audience of 5,000 persons to the auditorium as it has done for the past six years. Ann Arbor's habit of gathering for community singing of the familiar carols and hymns during the holiday week began 15 years ago when city residents and students met in the center of the campus to render their favorite Yuletide songs. Since then the program has grown each year, both in magnitude of presentation and in audience participation until it has now become an event eagerly looked-forward to by the students who remain in town over the holiday and by Ann Arborites themselves.
