The Christmas season began at Radcliffe this week as Saga Stokowski, president of the Class of '51, announced that the annual Annex Christmas Supper will be held in Agassiz House on December 14.
Chairman of the sophomore-sponsored supper is Barbara Fitzgerald '51, vice-president of the class. Committee heads include Shcila Brown '51, publicity; Carol Smith '51, entertainment; Elizabeth Moses '51, waitresses and decorations; Joan Katzman '51 and Sue Steiner '51, tickets; and Cynthia Williams '51, invitations.
