Holiday Season Imports Festive Entertainment Activities SOLEMN FACES SET the mood of rehearsal for the annual Christmas Choral Concert, which in reality is a jovial event. SENILE SENIOR DON JONES listens nervously to Mr. Gwin before the first performance of January Thaw. On December 4 the cafeteria was filled with students as usual. But this time for college boards! A sea of teeth were biting lower lips; nervous eyes were constantly glancing at an intolerably slow clock; a combo of numerous pencil tappers was beating out unconven- tional rhythms. But presto! — the magic word begin” drove away all butterflies and ignited the think- ing spark plugs of hundreds of un- dersized 3 lb. brains. To seniors, this day marked the end of rigid college entrance requirements; to Juniors it was only a beginning. However, CHS, by no means all serious in December, was filled with merry-making and music- making. The Watusi and ' Bird con- temporized parties with traditional themes. And the always enjoyable Choral Concert was made more in- spirational and joyous by our own Mr. Moore at the new organ. 16 Student Life
