Lantern night at Milwaukee-Downer College, 1952.

Lantern night was a Christmas tradition at Milwaukee-Downer College in which students carried lanterns and sang Christmas carols for local orphanages, hospitals and retirement homes. In the second image, students serenade college president John Johnson and his family at their home.
