Admission reps at major college fairs Jonathan Kraatz

ophomore Gretchen Libbey, Minnetonka, Minn., reigned as St. Lucia at the College’s 66th annual celebration of the Festival of St. Lucia. The festival is a Christmas-season tradition at Gustavus that reflects the College’s Swedish heritage and celebrates the “return of light” to the world. Libbey is pictured here with the Lucia Court prior to the special chapel service on December 9. Fellow sophomores in the 2006 Lucia court were, from left, Hannah Wunsch, Omaha, Neb.; Holly Andersen, Glenville, Minn.; Libbey; Delphine Broccard, Bloomington, Minn.; and Kristin Mummert, Albert Lea, Minn. Children of Gustavus employees traditionally participate in
the Lucia procession as star children and tomten: This year, they were, from left, Josephine Carlson, daughter of John and Heidi Rostberg Carlson ’88 ’93, both on the athletics coaching staff; Mara and (far right) Josiah Johnson, children of Chris Johnson ’85, director of the Center for Vocational Reflection, and his wife, Kim Devine-Johnson ’85; Greta and Lilly Anderson, daughters of Jeff Anderson, international student services coordinator, and his wife, Sheila; and Gavin Dobosenski, son of Matt Dobosenski ’99, media services coordinator, and his wife, Gigi Wait Dobosenski ’98.
