Every Beloiter remembers the ferocious storms that move into the area on a hot and humid day, explode with crashing thunder and bright flickers of lightning, and leave the campus drenched in rain. On the night of September 24, 1984, with the help of a plugged storm drain, a lake developed in front of the ’64 dorms. As thunder still rumbled in the distance, students fled their un-airconditioned rooms and, with spontaneous joy, cooled off, wading and splashing in between parked cars.

Saint Nicholas (also spelled Nikolas and Nikolaus) is the Patron Saint of Children, and his Feast day is celebrated on December 6th. The St Nicholas tradition is still celebrated around by those with German heritage. On the night of December 5th, children put out their shoes, hoping they will be filled with goodies and presents.     In my family, we didn’t put out shoes, but rather awoke on the 6th to find a beautifully painted tin plate filled with German cookies, fruits, nuts and small presents. I now carry on the tradition for our son. To our family, St Nikolaus is the embodiment of our traditional German Advent traditions, and Santa Claus represents the American Christmas experience. The best of both worlds!
