'Tis the season

The College will bring the fall semester to a close with song, dance, and ceremony, a festive cultural outpouring that belies, and perhaps assuages, the frenetic rush to complete papers and cram for exams-or, in the case of faculty, to write the exams and grade the papers.

From the first notes of the Owl Creek Singers' concert on December 1 until the gospel choir's final, exultant harmonies on December 13, the Hill will ring with music and merriment. And for exuberance that cannot be expressed solely in song, don't miss the Fall Dance Concert, offering three performances December 7-9.

In all, ten separate events crowd the calendar. And almost none coincide. How's that for a miracle of the season?
