After four days of clippings from old Minnehaha Talon newspapers, this clip comes from the 1985 edition of The Quiver, MA’s student newspaper before The Talon. Written by Lara Hammel and Gerard Hammink, this brief talks about how different language classes and clubs celebrated Christmas. The article talks about Swedish students hosting a Santa Lucia breakfast, Spanish students singing carols and German students dressing up as Saint Nicolas.
