the campaign to revive the old
fashioned spirit of Christmas, the
contest has three divisions.
• Division I is for all residents
except students.
• Division II is open to all mar
ried students, and all students
not living in dormitories.
• Division III, for dormitory
students, will be judged on a com
pany or dormitory basis.
The three divisions were plan
ned to allow student decorations
to compete only against each oth
er, with a separate division for
other residents who may plan very
elaborate displays.
In order that non-student resi
dents may compete for several of
the many cash and merchants cer
tificates prizes, Division I is di
vided into four sections.
These sections are (1) the most
beautiful doorway, (2) the most
attractive window’, (3) the best
decorated outside tree, and (4) a
a miscellaneous classification for
displays not included in the other
three sections.
A first prize will he awarded
the winners of each of these four
sections, with prizes ranging from
merchandise certificates for hard
ware, to dinner for tw r o at some
local restaurant.
Division II is divided into two
sections, since married students
rarely have private outside door-
ways, outside trees, or hedges to
decorate.
Four prizes will be given in these
two sections of similar value to
those for the four sections of Div
ision I, assured the director.
First, second, and third prizes
will go to the best decorated win
dows, and one first prize for a
miscellaneous display. That is, for
